You go through life’s highs and lows with strength and determination. You have learnt to stay calm even in extreme situations. In this blog, we will explore more about the personality, career, and relationships of Bharani nakshatra natives.

Bharani Nakshatra Qualities

Personality

This nakshatra is often associated with transformative life processes like birth and death. So, if you are born under this nakshatra, expect to go through multiple transformations in your life. 

Unpredictable

You don’t usually express what you feel, and have high endurance. So, when you make a big decision like quitting your job to follow your passion, you come across as a very unpredictable person. Even if you’ve been thinking about it for a long time. Your moods and actions keep changing. So, it’s not an easy task to figure you out.

All or nothing mindset

Bharani nakshatra is all about maintaining the balance between two extremes. You’ll often find yourself stuck in extreme situations or swinging between extreme ideas. You can act like a child and still make mature decisions. You approach things with intensity and passion, and if things don’t go as planned, then you quickly lose interest as well.

Resilient

Facing emotional pain and losses early on in life develops inner strength in you. With time, you are able to work under high pressure and stressful conditions. You use your pain as a fuel for transformation and channel that pain into helping others or pursuing a meaningful goal. 

Creative

As the Bharani nakshatra lord is Venus, you are naturally talented at arts, music, dance, and other creative fields. Venus makes you desire a comfortable life surrounded by art and luxuries. You are easily able to connect with others by expressing yourself in creative ways.

Career

This nakshatra is the essence of the feminine energy and is associated with all things feminine. As a result, the professions that are mostly female-dominant are more compatible, as you naturally have caring, emotional, and nurturing qualities.

• Artists, creators, or musicians - you are interested in all things aesthetic, and your eyes search for beauty in everything. You are also good at expressing yourself through different media.

• Social workers or caretakers - you have a nurturing and selfless side to your personality. This is great for professions where you have to care for those who are vulnerable. 

• Management executives, leaders, or business owners - these roles bring out the best in you by allowing you to work under high-pressure conditions. And as you grow through the challenges, you become successful.

The professions that will allow your creative energy to flow and work with ease will be most suitable for you. Professions with demanding routines and strict structure will leave you feeling drained.

Marriage and Relationships

In relationships, you look for a partner who balances your intensity. Your assertiveness and dominant nature can make your partner feel unappreciated. As this nakshatra is influenced by the energy of both Mars and Venus, it makes your relationships feel intense and passionate. 

It takes extra effort for you to get into relationships and maintain a balance between the expectations and reality. The nakshatras that will match your energy are:

• Ashwini: The intense Martian energy of this nakshatra supports your passions and matches your energy

• Mrighashira: the explorative and fun-loving spirit of Mrighashira balances the intense energy of Bharani nakshatra 

Health and Physical Traits

As per astrology, each nakshatra rules specific body parts. And when the energy of the nakshatra is imbalanced, you are more likely to experience troubles in that area. If you are born under the Bharani nakshatra, then you are more likely to experience health issues related to:

• Headache: from carrying too many responsibilities or holding on to too much stress

• Eye strain: your eyes also hold an intense and powerful gaze. Your eyes can be more sensitive to light and easily get tired

• Reproductive issues: as Bharani represents fertility and the process of creation, when out of balance, it leads to hormonal imbalance in females

For balancing the energy of this nakshatra and experiencing its positive effects, you can follow these remedies:

• Worshipping Lord Yama or Goddess Kali.
• Chant the Venus beej mantra or “Om Yamaya Namah” to please lord Yama.
• Wearing a diamond gemstone.

Life as a Bharani native is not easy, the soft and nurturing energy of Venus meets the intense and karmic energy of Lord Yama (god of death). You are not built for an easy life, it’s your life purpose to go through intense challenges and carry burdens of responsibility. After going through extreme life situations, you eventually learn to maintain a fine balance.
