Shatabhisha

Rahu · Varuna, god of the cosmic waters and law

Shatabhisha means 'a hundred physicians' or 'a hundred stars', a nakshatra associated with healing on a vast scale, secrecy and the mysteries of the unseen. Ruled by Rahu and governed by Varuna, guardian of cosmic law and the vast oceans, it favours deep, often solitary, investigation into what heals or what's hidden. Shatabhisha natives are frequently drawn to medicine, research or fields dealing with the unconventional, preferring depth and privacy over public visibility.
