What Anuradha means in Vedic astrology

Anuradha is the 17th of the 27 Nakshatra — the lunar mansions that divide the sidereal zodiac into finer bands than the twelve Rāsi. It spans Scorpio 3°20′–16°40′, is ruled by Saturn, and is presided over by the deity Mitra.

Its symbol is the lotus, and it belongs to the Deva gana. Your Nakshatra is determined by the exact degree of the Moon at your birth, which makes it far more specific than your moon sign alone — and it is what drives your Vimshottari Dasha, the timing system at the heart of Jyotish prediction.
