2-Importance of Nakshatra
[From Indian and Western Astrology]
[read Vedh Star]
Nakshatra can change all predictions which we get from Raashi.
Nakshatra are huge
electromagnetic bodies radiating energy into space, thus having lot of
influence. Nakshatra in which the Moon is placed at time of birth is
called Janma Nakshatra. Nakshatra describe how a planet is acting, his
inner nature, purpose etc. Nakshatra lordship of planet has a lot to say
about the functioning of the planet, eg is Mercury is in the Nakshatra of
Jupiter (Nakshatra lordship of Mercury is Jupiter), Mercury will bless him
with lot of intelligence (as Jupiter is Kaarak for intelligence). Most
famous Vinshottareey Dashaa system is based on Nakshatra.
To your question, Tara Bal relates the Janma Nakshatra (natal birth start)
to the transiting Moon i.e. to check what will the day look like for today
for you, check today's Nakshatra and find its relationship with your Janma
Nakshatra. There is a dictum listing down this relationship like if today's
Nakshatra is 9th from your Janma Nakshatra, today is very favorable to you
(to write exams - best day) or if today's Nakshatra is 3rd from your Janma
Nakshatra, it is not auspicious day as it has the potential to cause loss,
accidents etc.
In view of the above, for Muhurta, Moon / Nakshatra plays very important role.
Taaraa Bal

Taaraa Balam...
You must have heard of Taaraa Bal. Who was Taaraa? And what is her Power?
Taaraa was the wife of Brihaspati. Our Pandit recite the Mantra for
auspicious occasions, "Taaraa Balam Chandra Balam Tathaiv, Vidyaa Balam,
Daiv Balam Tathaiv, Om Lakshmee Pathate, angriyugam Smaraami… Taaraa
told there is for the "Star of the Day" on which this Mantra is recited.
Taaraa, eife of Brihaspati, was a force of attraction (Balam)
like magnetic pull. That is why, Moon abducted her, lived along with her,
ensued war for years, had a son Budh from her and just for fearing curse
from Brhmaa Jee returned her to Brihaspati Jee. Similarly for Brihaspati
also, he had two wives even after loosing Taaraa
and a son through the second wife Mamataa - Kach, still he wanted Taaraa
back and ensued war for years. Finally even after knowing that she was
impregnated, it was an insignificant matter to Brihaspati. He wanted
Taaraa. So this must have been due to some attractive force with her.
In astrology Budh (Mercury)
is considered the Number One enemy, while the Moon does not consider him
so.
--So if placement of Budh is in Kark (Cancer) Raashi which is Moon's own
Raashi, Budh will have least power and thus the native's intelligence
could be low. It is a general statement.
--If a person has strong Budh in Lagna, all his intelligence is found
wavering in nature. This is by observation.
How does a Nakshatra play
an important role in persons life?
Nakshatra are lunar mansions and they have certain qualities and the have
a lordship of a planet and also sub lords etc.. The lord and Sub-lord
planets assert an influence on the Nakshatra (and planet in that Nakshatra)
e.g. mars in Aries will give generally good results (being own house), but
the results are modified by the Nakshatra it is placed in. In Aries it can
be in Ashwinee, Bharanee or Krittikaa, whose lords are Ketu, Venus and Moon
respectively.
Does a Nakshatra for a
person is always lucky for him? I mean to say if a person needs to
carry a new task or an important task like taking board exams, if they
take it when the Moon is in their Raashi (eventually in their Nakshatra
Pad) would it prove better for the results?
There are 27 Nakshatra, and they are divided into 9 groups with the Moon
Nakshatra as your first or Janam Nakshatra. These are arranged as per the
natural sequence they occur in Raashi etc and the 10th and 19th Nakshatra
will fall under first group. These 9 groups of 3 Nakshatra each are deemed
as auspicious/ inauspicious, helpful etc for the native.
So the Nakshatra that are
lucky, will always be lucky for the native throughout his life?
Nakshatra also have certain qualities
and certain activities are more auspicious when taken in these Nakshatra eg for
endings or termination Revatee Nakshatra etc is good, but for new beginnings,
Ashwinee Nakshatra is good. You can also look at Nakshatra falling in the 6th
group of Nakshatra (of the 9 groups) that will give Saadhanaa or achievement to
the native (see Taaraa, and Saadhanaa Taaraa).
So
there will be 3 Nakshatra in this group. and whenever the Moon transits these,
it will give success.
Does the Nakshatra play any
importance in Muhoort science?
Nakshatra are essential in Muhoort
charts. As eg I will give you the planetary transit for today, where the Moon
transits Revatee Nakshatra and later into Ashwinee Nakshatra and its respective
indications.
