Nakshatra 17 of 27
Anuradha
Anuradha is devotion and friendship that lasts. It builds alliances, stays loyal through hard times, and grows best among people it trusts.
A nakshatra is one of the 27 lunar mansions of Vedic astrology. Yours is the one the Moon stood in when you were born, measured in the sidereal zodiac. Anuradha spans 3°20′ Scorpio to 16°40′ Scorpio.
Its ruler, Saturn, also opens the first of your life chapters (the Vimshottari dasha) if your Moon sits here.
Each nakshatra splits into four padas of 3°20′, 108 in all. Each pada falls in a navamsa sign, so the same mansion can lean four slightly different ways.
