Re: [GJ] Aslesha

Dear ChrisThis information is from a course i took re: Nakshatras.Ashlesha is

ruled by mercury, connected with the constellation hydra the serpent. This

nakshatracorrelates with kundalini energy, thus the relations to snakes. The

diety is NAGA, a serpent god (?).Like snakes, these natives can hypnotize

people with their gaze and has the power to inflictothers with deadly venom.It

is called a "clinging star" and has a tendency to get too involved and entwined

in situationsaround it. (for example maybe too engaged with other people's

problems, or in other people'slives.. this may boomerang and create a desire

for detachment, due to the high dependeciesand neediness on other people for

wholeness.There is a desire to go deeply into things, relate to the mystical,

penetrate into the shadows, and therefore is a connection to psychics and

astrologers with this star.There is some mention also needing to control one's

sexual appetites, and connecting this with the mysticalcan lead to an interest

in tantra.Can you relate to any of this?take careMarciaOm Namo Bhagavate

Dear Pixie (April?),

Your post attributing your voluptuous appetite to Aslesha intrigued me as I

rarely consider the nakshatras in this way and I knew there would be clear

astrological evidence of such a strong appetite...so I couldn't resist having a

look at your chart :-)

 

Although the 2nd house signifies the partaking of (wrong) food or drink, it's

the 6th that shows our appetite, digestion and preparation of food. The

digestive system is under the jurisdiction of Pitta, and with YogaKaraka Mars

(a strong Pitta planet) in the 6th, it's obvious that you have the digestion to

cope with (and even trigger) a big appetite.

The 6th is aspected by it's lord Saturn who is in the company of Rahu...Rahu is

a compulsive planet...not hard at all to see that it would be difficult for you

to control or curb your appetite :-)

 

The aspect of exalted Jupiter on 6th, 6th lord and 2nd lord Mercury also expands

the appetite and brings happiness connected with food...comfort from food :-)

 

 

Best Wishes,Wendy

>snip<I wanted to say that I have my exalted Jupiter in Aslesha and I have had

to struggle all of my life not to stuff food into my mouth. I still stuff food

into my mouth but I make sure it is 50 sunflower seeds or many carrot sticks and

not 50 cookies. This battle is very perplexing. Like this "oral fixation".

Cancer is mother and nutrition and food and with Jupiter I always want more.

My moon Nakshatra is Purva Bhadrapada ruled by Jupiter. Maybe this reinforced

this. I know very little, practically nothing about Vedic Astrology but I am a

practising Western Astrologer and trying very hard to learn Vedic.
