Uttara Bhadrapada (26)Revati (27)

We are on the last stop of  our journey of Nakshatras.
The Nakshatras are Uttara Bhadrapada & Revati.

Last time we have seen the great square Pegasus or the great horse.

The two stars in the front are Poorva Bhadrapada & following two stars are Uttara Bhadrapada,26th Nakshatra.

The month is Ashwin.It starts on 3rd October,on the auspicious day of Ghatsthapana.

In this month Ashvini Nakshtra,the first one,rises at 8 pm in the night at East.
So our round journey of Nakshatras is completed.

 



Draw a straight line between 2 stars of Ashwin & Uttara Bhadrapada .
Then from midpoint of it extend one line to get 3stars in straight line. 
That's the Revati Nakshatra,27th & the last one.





I have written about it in my another post.

Hast, Chitra & Swati (13,14,15)

Image
 Welcome again to Nakshatra yatra.  The next Nakshatra is Hast,which is 13th in the order, also it's the last Nakshatra of mansoon. In this Nakshatra, the crop is nourished very well. It's shape is like hand,so the name Hast. First see Saptarshi in the North. If you extend the line from last star of Saptarshi on a curved path, you can see 2 bright stars .        The Red one is Swati (Arcturus) & the Blue one is Chitra (Spica). Extend the line further,then you get a pentagon in the shape of a hand, that's Hast. If we put a ball at Saptarshi,it will go on rolling on an imaginary line, till it is caught by Hast. The stars are very bright,so it's called as  necklace in the sky. So these are13th,14th & 15th Nakshatras. The Rashi is Kanya,the 6th one. It's called Virgo in English. Kanya Rashi consists of 3/4 Uttara Falguni (Denebola), full Hast(Corvus) & 1/2 Spica. When full moon is in Chitra, the month is Chaitra. 1st month of Marathi Calendar. On 1st day of

Mrug (Orion)Part 1

Image
15 December,2020, Tuesday,Dev Deepawali. Starting of Marathi month Margashirsh.(Head of a deer) In this month you can see Mrug Nakshatra in the East rising in the evening.It is Orion in English meaning hunter . It's the brightest & most beautiful object in the  sky. I personally like this Nakshatra very much. As we have seen earlier half of Mrug Nakshatra comes in Vrushabh Rashi & other half in Mithun Rashi. As the Mrug or Orion  is a big constellation it's story is also big,so let's divide it in two parts. In this part we will know about the story of the constellation & how to spot it in the sky. It's very easy to see because all the stars are bright of this constellation. At 8 pm , in the East, you can see 4 bright stars & 3 stars in straight line in between. According to Indians ,the 4 bright stars are 4 legs of a deer (Mrug) & the middle 3 stars arrow in it's pet.If you observe closely, you can see a triangle out side of the two legs towards

Sky in February( 12,3,4)Nakshatras Ashwini (1)Bharani (2)Krittika (3)Rohini (4)

Image
 See the beautiful Mrug Nakshatra in South-East corner at 8 p.m. It is a rectangle with 4 stars.At the boundary ,4 feets of Mrug & the arrow piercing through it's belly consisting of 3 stars. You can spot the 3 stars in line easily.  If you extend the line westward ,there's a red star which is Rohini. After a while when your eyes  are adapted for darkness the 'V' shape of Rohini Nakshatra can be seen.  If you extend it further just a bit offside a group of 6 stars  can be seen which is Pleiades (Krittika). After getting Krittika, go for a small equilateral triangle, all stars are faint in this triangle. It's Bharani Nakshatra.  Then go for 2 bright stars which are close to each other, the third star forms an abtuse angle. This is Ashwini Nakshatra.  Ashwini means horse.It looks like Horsehead in inverse direction,so the name.  These are first 4 nakshtras. Ashwini ,Bharani,Krittika, Rohini. There are 27  Nakshatras & 12 Rashis . Ashwini Nakshatra comes under
