Bharani

Bharani (भरणी) is the second nakshatra (lunar mansion) in Hindu astrology. It spans from 13°20' to 26°40' Aries. The symbol associated with Bharani is the yoni, representing the female reproductive organ, and it is ruled by Yama, the god of death or Dharma Raja.

In Vedic astrology, Bharani nakshatra is associated with themes of transformation, sacrifice, and the journey through hardship to achieve a higher purpose. People born under this nakshatra are often described as strong-willed, independent, and capable of enduring significant challenges. They may have a strong sense of duty and a desire to help others, though they can also be prone to stubbornness and a desire for control.

The ruling deity, Yama, signifies the karmic consequences of actions and the inevitable transition from life to death. This association imbues Bharani with a sense of finality and the potential for rebirth. The planetary ruler is Venus.
