Bharani Nakshatra
Yama (God of Death/Dharma)
Bharani is the womb of creation and dissolution. Ruled by Yama, the lord of Dharma and Death, Bharani natives carry the weight of transformation. They understand that for new things to be born, old things must die - a profound spiritual truth. These natives often face heavy responsibilities from a young age. They may struggle with themes of sexuality, mortality, and ethics. Their gift is the ability to hold space for others during major life transitions. Spiritually, they must learn the lesson of Yama - that dharma (right action) determines the quality of both life and death.
