Shatabhisha Nakshatra

Shatabhisha is the twenty-fourth Nakshatra in Vedic astrology, located entirely within the sign of Aquarius (Kumbha). Spanning from 6°40' to 20°00' Aquarius, it is known as the "Star of a Hundred Healers" or the "Veiling Star." Shatabhisha is ruled by Rahu and embodies the energy of healing, mysticism, and secrecy.

Symbolism and Meaning

The symbols of Shatabhisha are an Empty Circle or a Hundred Stars. The circle represents the infinite nature of the universe and the power of containment and protection. The name 'Shatabhisha' translates to "requiring a hundred physicians" or "having a hundred healers," emphasizing the Nakshatra's connection to miraculous cures and complex healing.

Ruling Deity: Varuna (God of Cosmic Waters)

The presiding deity is Varuna, the God of the cosmic waters and the sky. Varuna is the guardian of the moral order (Rita). This connection grants Shatabhisha natives a deeply philosophical, introverted, and mystical nature. They have a natural affinity for the hidden aspects of life and the "vision" to see what lies beneath the surface.
