🌺।।Do you know the story of Ashlesha Nakshatra and how it influences the people born in it.।।🌺

The snakes were cursed by their own mother Kadru, that they would be burnt to death. Kadru and her other sister Vinata had a bet on deciding the colour of the horse Ucchaishrava.

Whoever will lose will be the slave of other one.Vinata said white horse will come out & she won but Kadru with her deceitful manner asked her thousand snake children to cover the body part of that holy horse so that it looks Black & she can make Vinata her slave for lifelong.

As snakes did'nt cooperate with the conspiracy theory of their mother to cheat their half mother Vinata and other brothers they were cursed. And fearing the curse finally they were ready to do whatever mother Kadru asked to do.

From this story you can understand the mother of the Ashlesha prominent people are always little twisted in their mind and the root cause of many of their sufferings are from mother.

Hardly you will see Ashlesha prominent people having good term with their siblings.

Here are a few things about Ashlesha Nakshatra:

▪️From Cancer 16°40' to 30°00'Degree span

▪️Nakshatra Lord : Mercury

▪️Nakshatra Deity : Serpent or Nagas

▪️Nakshatra Symbols : Coiled Snake

NAGAS - Among the thousand Naga sons of Kadru, first one was Shesha. You might not have realized, but you've seen him in pictures of Sri Vishnu, where he was lying on Shesh Naag. The second was Vasuki, the Naga king you've always seen around the neck of Bhagwan Shiva.

Vasuki was used as a rope to churn the ocean during the Samudra Manthan. The third was Takshak. He was the one who killed Arjun's grandchild, King Parikshit. The entire Mahabharat which we read today was recited during a Sharpa Yagna conducted by Jamanejay to kill Takashak.

When Janmejay came to know his father was killed by the Nag named Takshak he got so furious that he promised to end the entire clan of Nagas.

Hence he started arranging a sacrificial fire for snakes where all Brahmins were reciting powerful mantra and snakes were falling on that fire place flying from the sky. On the 28th day Takshak started getting pulled and to seek the help he went to Indra.

Takshak clinged himself on the throne of Indra to safeguard himself. But the mantras were so damn powerful even the Singhasan along with Indra and Takshak were getting pulled towards the sacrificial fire of Janmejay.

It was the mother of all nagas who cursed also mantras recited were too powerful so whole thing were out of the control of Indra.

Later Astik Muni, who was the nephew of Takshak, came and started reciting the glorious story of Kuru dynasty infront of Janmejay.

That made the king so happy that he requested Astik Muni to ask something in return for such glorious recitation of Kuru clan and his forefathers. At that point Astik Muni asked Janmejay to stop this Sarpa Yagna and that’s how Takshak was saved.

Hence if you have many planets in Ashlesha, if you have Moon or Lagna or any prominent planet in Ashlesha, keep praying to Astik Muni, he may show you the safe path for you. He had a boon to save Nagas.

COILED SNAKE - Maya is like a serpent, it clings us like a snake. Ashlesha is full of such serpent energy, hence very hard to handle Ashlesha, rather it grips you badly.

Ashlesha works completely on mental plane, so it can ruin you or make your mental plane strong enough to face the harshness. This symbol of coiled snake has quite a lot of impact on most of the Ashlesha people. They love to sleep coiling on floor or bed.

A coiling snake looks like sleeping or lazy resting but it is cold blooded, so it can attack you when you least expect. Similar traits you can see in Ashlesha human as well, attacking without much provocation.

Coiling is all about bending your muscles, so Ashlesha natives have muscle pain or muscle ligament tear issues quite often. Life of an Ashelsha native is never a straight line or never that simple mostly goes quite circular way or complex.

Mars is Bhumi Karak, and when this Mars is in Ashlesha, native starts staying in other’s house. It could be that your ancestral property has some negative ashlesha energy which happened due to killing some snakes on that.

Or someone from your ancestor or you in your past lives reconstructed your property and while doing so many snakes were killed.

Many will suggest you to do Garud Asan to balance your Ashlesha energy specially when Mars is debilitated in Ashlesha.

Cause in battle field when Indrajit (son of Ravan) tied up the whole army including Laxman with Nagpasha ( Shiva Gave him Nagpash as weapon) Garuda arrived from Vaikuntha and devoured the Nagpash. So Garud is the one who can set you free from this Ashlesha energy.

Balaram and Lakshman are believed to be human manifestations of Adi Shesha, the first Naga. So one can understand the basic aim is to do the service of Vishnu for Ashlesha natives.

Marilyn Monroe, Indira Gandhi, M. K. Gandhi, Pandit Neheru,all had prominent Ashlesha in their horoscope and except Neheru all were murdered,by conspiracy theory.

▪️Coiling is the contraction of body where as Ashlesha creates fear & fearful mind means contraction of human mind.

▪️As Mercury is the nakshatra lord that gives very inquisitive or curious nature since childhood.

▪️When Moon or Lagna is in Ashlesha, native becomes a very good observant with curious mind, just like Mercury has.

▪️As mercury never had any institutional guidance or lesson, It was his observation and inquisitive mind which made him smart. Similar story line you may see with Ashlesha people as Mercury is the nakshatra lord here.

▪️They are not actually much intelligent; rather they are very much observant that’s what appears to be intelligence.

Ashlesha natives can hardly take a stand against any unethical norms just the way all the nagas could’t take a stand against their mother’s deceptive plotting.

▪️Wherever your Ashlesha degrees will fall in your horoscope, you may feel some mysticism or deceit.
Shlesha to Ashlesha means not sufficient, so their Sadhana or austerity, study was not sufficient in past lives.

▪️Perhaps they did this break half way running for materialistic stuffs. In this life they are bound to participate in various mystic things and occult science. Until they do so, life is never that balanced for them.

▪️Psychic, mystic, dentist, astrologer, hypnotic, those who work on anaesthesia, dealing with any sort of poison, chemist, healer, tantric, all are under this Ashlesha domain.

▪️They at times go for gambling cause they feel they have very good intuition which they can cash on during speculation or gambling.

▪️If we can keep ignoring all these negative traits of Ashlesha just for the sake of being diplomatic or to give them a feel good factor, you may never be able to understand or analyse this nakshatra truly in horoscope. That will lead to poor prediction ability too.

▪️High potential of strategy and deceit if they can use it positively for mankind can give them good respect.

▪️Too much of starving and regular starving brings huge transformation in Ashlesha native’s life.

Snake cannot hear anything all they have huge sense, they go by their sense and vibration.

▪️Naag Panchami in Shravan was the day when Janmejay's Sharpa Yagna was stopped by Astik Muni. So keep doing Naag Puja on that day every year to get the blessings from Nagas.

MUHURAT - All types of short term activities are under this Nakshatra. Planning and plotting against your enemy suits Ashlesha a lot in Muhurat shastra. If you want to start any short term Sadhana, Never ever choose Ashlesha Muhurat for starting any business or travel.

Remember, we never welcome snakes, we just get scared of them, if at all visible nearby your home or backyard, and pray they go away automatically.
