Shatabhisha Nakshatra

Shatabhisha Nakshatra meaning & nature

Shatabhisha is ruled by Rahu and presided over by Varuna, the god of the cosmic waters and cosmic justice. Its name means "a hundred healers" (or "a hundred stars"), and its symbol, an empty circle, signifies mystery, containment and hidden truth. Shatabhisha natives are independent, secretive, mystical and unconventional, with a strong affinity for healing, research and hidden knowledge.

Rahu’s unconventional energy in inventive Aquarius gives Shatabhisha originality, scientific and mystical bent, and a solitary, self-contained nature. At its best it is healing, visionary and truth-seeking; at its shadow it can be isolated, secretive or aloof. Shatabhisha guards its inner circle and works its healing quietly, often alone.

Symbol: An empty circle / a hundred stars. Deity: Varuna (god of cosmic waters & justice). Gana: Rakshasa (demonic). Nature: Chara — movable.

Career & work

Shatabhisha favours healing and mystery — medicine and healing (especially alternative), research and science, astrology and the occult, technology, aviation and space, and any field of hidden knowledge or unconventional healing.

Love & relationships

In love Shatabhisha is loyal but private and independent, needing space and slow to reveal its inner world. The lesson is openness and letting others in.
