Bharani Nakshatra

Bharani or ‘the woman who bears’ is symbolized by the female reproductive organ and is said to be blessed by goddess Parvati with the gift of creation and reproduction. Bharani Nakshatra falls in the Aries zodiac, which symbolizes creation and beginnings. It is ruled by Yama, and it teaches us the art of letting go and flowing freely

Bharani is symbolized by the Yoni or the female sexual organ which naturally represents sexuality as well as reproduction. It also represents conceiving ideas and revolutionizing changes which can be brought into the world and once initiated, can grow and mature to becoming an independent field of thought. The constellation spans from 13.20 to 26.40 degrees in Aries.

This constellation is also symbolic of the Yoni of Parvati or the divine Yoni which fell off in Kamakhya and became one of the 18 Shakti Peeths (Seat of Shakti/Power) in India. She later blessed it with the gift of creation and procreation. Bharani represents hard work, goes through immense pain in life for the sweet rewards that follow. This process is the same as childbirth which signifies through immense pain and later letting go of the umbilical cord, post which, a life is born and brings ultimate joy. The whole point of this constellation is to teach that there is no short cut to success and absolutely no reward by postponing or running away from pain, but facing it head on and only then being deserving of a reward.

Key Bharani Traits

Nothing ever comes easy to a Bharani - not love, not life, not career, not their personal pursuits, nor their independence. Bharani is, therefore, a warrior in the feminine sense -like a pregnant woman who goes through struggle to become a mother. This is the same reason why they are considered mature for their age; but on the surface, they exhibit the opposite.

Their nature is child-like, but not childish. This makes them someone who can attract small children even if they meet them for the first time, and gel with them easily with the maturity of knowing how to make them feel comfortable in a child-like manner. Same goes with relationships and people; they know when to be playful and when to be serious.

Bharani completely surrounds the energy of fertility and, therefore, as one of the Shakti Peeths representing Bharani, couples often visit Kamakhya Peeth for blessings of fertility as it channelizes the energy of the divine feminine.

• They are fiercely independent. There is one sure shot way of recognizing a Bharani. Bharani are fiercely independent and self-reliant. They will not lean on anyone for anything at all. They are financially independent, and career driven. They will walk by foot but not let anyone pay their taxi fare -that level of independence and dignity comes with this nakshatra. They will absolutely abhor anyone paying anything for them at all. This independence is in their nature, and they can’t help it.
• Their freedom matters and they hate their personal space being stepped on. They like their freedom; it gives them space to be creative and their ideas to flow freely. They do not accept any kind of dominance, instead they choose whom to be submissive to. You cannot dominate a Bharani. You may hate it, love it, or judge it, they don’t care. They are selective about who they spend their time with.
• They have anger issues. Bharani is a fierce constellation as well as symbolic of divine feminine who, if triggered, displays her ferocity -to put it simply. They do not tolerate injustice, they will not tolerate anyone being treated wrongly, and they will not tolerate anyone trying to take undue advantage of anyone, or any kind of mind games at play.
• They are extremely creative. They are people who are Venusian, so arts come to them naturally. They will often have more than one artistic talent, of which one or two may show up very specifically. Fine arts, dance, music, martial arts, writing are all something which comes naturally to a Bharani.
• Devoted to family: Bharani are devoted to their family and loyal to their friends. They are never dishonest, and they go the extra mile for their family in every way possible. They will not go against their family for anything in the world. Their loyalty can be gauged through their loyalty towards their kin and kith. They possess very strong character and huge endurance, and you will never see them acting in front of people in a way which is not dignified. They are also righteous and don’t look for shortcuts in life.
