Characteristics of an Ārdra born

The symbol of Ārdra is a tear-drop. It is called 'the star of sorrow' and is influenced by Rudra, the Lord of storms who controls destruction and dissolution.

Ārdra connotes the processes through which loss and disappointment take place. It stands for the 'power to make gains in life through greater effort'.

Therefore, this nakṣatra is sharp, fierce, and endowed with the clarity and emotional cleansing that happens after the native has gone through trials, difficulties and conflicts.

This nakṣatra reflects brilliant mental abilities and makes it fit to study the spiritual laws of the Universe.

As an Ārdra born, you are strong and earn by sacrifice, but are sometimes subjected to fear and anger. You can behave very coolly during times of extreme hardship. You can be insincere at times and ungrateful; you may also spend money foolishly.

You are very flexible and open to change, and sincerely strive to change yourself, leading sometimes to much inner conflict. You should be particularly alert to stress related-ailments, calm your nervous system and sensitivity, and welcome yourself as you are, without overly criticizing yourself constantly.

You have interests in being a writer, teacher, social worker, public relations expert, a good salesman, athlete or worker in the humanitarian field.
