Lunar Eclipse in Anuradha Nakshatra

This lunar eclipse is happening in the nakshatra of Anuradha. One of the symbols of Anuradha Nakshatra is a lotus flower which symbolizes purity and knowledge, an unique strength of a Lotus flower is to remain pure, untainted and untouched even in muddy waters. Our ability to remain pure and untouched could be tested during the eclipse.

Anuradha Nakshatra is all about devotion, love and friendship. But this nakshatra has the tendency to make us suppress our own needs to please people around us, which can quickly become toxic. A little awareness about this energy can go a long way to help us acknowledge and fix it.

The Power of this Nakshatra is – Radhana Shakti which means the power of worship. So eclipse is a perfect time to go inward to pray and surrender to the divine.

Anuradha Nakshatra is ruled by Saturn and the sign Scorpio is ruled by Mars/Ketu. It can be tricky to manage the energies of these planets.

Discipline (Saturn) + Energy (Mars) + Intutiion (Ketu) is the right way to use the energy of this combination.
