భరణి

Symbol: Yoni

☽ Lord: VenusMesha Rashi →

Bharani Nakshatra (భరణి నక్షత్రం) is the second nakshatra in the Vedic system, spanning 13°20' to 26°40' in Mesha (Aries). Ruled by Venus and presided over by Yama, the god of cosmic justice and dharma, Bharani carries the dual energy of intense creation and righteous destruction. The yoni (womb) symbol represents the power to bear and transform — just as Yama presides over the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, Bharani natives carry great creative and transformative energy within them. They are passionate, disciplined souls with a strong moral compass and the endurance to carry significant responsibilities.
