Jupiter, The Jeeva in Ardra Nakshatra
Ardra Nakshatra is 6th nakshatra in the 27 Nakshatra mandalas. Ardra Nakshatra spans from 6 degrees 40 minutes to 20 degrees in the sign of Gemini. This Nakshatra is ruled by Rahu and the planetary lordship goes to planet Mercury. “Ardra" is derived from the Sanskrit word "Ardra," which means "moist" or "wet as its linked with the element of water and is often linked to the monsoon rains and storms. The ruling deity of this Nakshatra is Rudra, a fierce form of Lord Shiva.
Ardra Nakshatra is the seed of the Rahu’s energy, Rahu and Mercury combination where intellect is born. Mrigshira was all about being curious but in Ardra it goes a step forward, it observes and try to understand and want to know the cause behind the effect of cosmos functioning.
If we observe closely Ardra comes at number 6 in the series of 27 Nakshatra. Six is a house of Virgo. Like Gemini, Virgo is also ruled by Mercury. Now 6th house in Kaal Purusha Kundali is of Daily routine life, Shadripus – disease, enemies, debts. And Virgo energy is all about logical and critical thinking, Healing, deep logic written communication and that’s why many doctors, healers, writers, auditors, lawyers have very strong Virgo energy. And in Ardra carrying the energy of sixth sign of Mercury, makes the native who does a lot of inner query and exploration because he has seen many transformations and struggle in life which make them later a guide or teacher to others.
And when Jeeva, the Jupiter goes into the Ardra Nakshatra it gives very interesting results to observe for Astro enthusiastic. The combination of Jupiter's spiritual influence with the transformative energy of Ardra can indicate a strong potential for spiritual growth and evolution. Mercury is our logic and Rahu loves to be in logical thinking energy and when a native have Jupiter in Ardra makes them very logical in their concept and ideas. But Ardra have the energy of Chaos, confusion and transformation. So, the Jeeva will experience in his life time chaos and many transformations which makes them successful later in life. We should not forget that Ardra have “Yatna Shakti” – the power to make efforts to result in achievements.
Gemini sign is of communication and Jupiter in Gemini make native guiding people on right path from own experiences in life. Jeeva in Ardra’s energy will go through tough times in relationships, trusting people, people might have betrayed them, used them for their own benefit, actually this is what happens with strong Ardra nakshatra natives and in the end, the native feel remorseful and howl for being betrayed, no one can understand the pain these people go through having tears in the eyes but all this has happened to make them a gem of a person and a true Guide or Mentor because they don’t want anyone to go through the pain which they have experienced.
Rahu is a charmer. Mercury is logic and communication so when Jupiter the Jeeva placed in Ardra will make native using their charm and logical communication to make way in everybody’s heart very easily. Mercury’s influence on Jeeva will make them look younger to their age, have a very innocent smile and popular among masses. But we also consider that Gemini is a sign of Twins. The duality in the nature of Jeeva is inborn and inherent. If the outer twin is calm, the inner one is feeling the turbulence. And if inner twin is calm the outer personality is very fierce and frustrated. The one part of Jeeva wants to talk about deep mysteries and cosmic energy of life and the other twin wants to have fun and carries a playful energy. The person will flip flop between the twin’s energy.
Rahu and Mercury’s influence over Jeeva will make the native having very good knowledge of modern technology, coded signals, devices, online skills dealing with a lot of information, messaging and social media, Lots of collaboration and group work, friends and acquaintances.
Jupiter Ardra natives are very responsible, polite and cordial in their behavior. They can easily fascinate the crowd by their public speaking skills. They have sharp mind and can easily understand other’s mind just by the body language. They are very quick in responding to any question. They are brave enough to face the hardships of life without making hue and cry about the problems. Outwardly, they may appear quite relaxed but there is always some storm going on inside their mind.
Now if Jupiter is in the 2nd pada which gets debilitated in the Navamsha can make native likely to be disheveled, intense, unusual and possibly uncivilized. Their wandering nature can have a negative effect on personal relationships as their partner may not feel they are anything special because native becomes too much of a social butterfly and look for open relationships. Their Independence is very Important which makes them not to settle in life.
Jupiter in Ardra native’s Father can be from a very humble background or have the link with the tribe family or the Father could be into the farming or associated with forests or nature in general. Father will be very fond of pet animals or Native himself is very much feel connected with animals specially Dogs. In nature they feel rejuvenated.
