About Bharani Nakshatra

Bharani is ruled by Venus and governed by Yama, the lord of dharma and death. It carries themes of creation, transformation, restraint and the bearing of burdens, with strong creative and reproductive energy.

Each nakshatra spans 13°20′ of the zodiac and is divided into four padas. The Moon's nakshatra at birth (your Janma Nakshatra) seeds the Vimshottari Dasha and the auspicious starting sound for naming.
