Devotion and friendship. Mitra’s star of alliance, discipline and loyal love — the friend who thrives far from home, building deep bonds through steadiness and care.

## 01What Anuradha shapes

Every nakṣatra colours the mind (the Moon) with its deity’s signature. Under **Mitra** and the discipline of **Saturn**, Anuradha leans toward the qualities above: strongest where the Moon is well-placed and dignified, strained where it is afflicted. The *lotus / staff* is the key image to hold: it is what this star is always, quietly, doing.

None of this is a verdict. It is the classical *tendency* of a birth star — a lens, read against the whole chart.

## 02Compatibility signature

For kundli matching (Guṇa Milan), Anuradha carries the **Deva** gaṇa (temperament), **Madhya** nāḍī (constitution) and the **Deer** yoni (instinctive nature). Classically, partners are matched for gaṇa harmony and, most importantly, *different* nāḍī — same-nāḍī pairings score zero on that koota and are traditionally avoided.

## 03Common questions

Which planet rules Anuradha nakṣatra?
Anuradha is ruled by **Saturn** in the Vimśottarī system — so a Anuradha-born Moon begins life in the Saturn mahādaśā. Its presiding deity is Mitra.

What is the gaṇa and nāḍī of Anuradha?
Anuradha is **Deva** gaṇa, **Madhya** nāḍī, with the **Deer** yoni. These three decide much of kundli-matching (Guṇa Milan) — same nāḍī between partners is classically avoided.

What are Anuradha natives like?
Devotion and friendship. Mitra’s star of alliance, discipline and loyal love — the friend who thrives far from home, building deep bonds through steadiness and care. Exact expression depends on the pada, the Moon’s dignity, and the whole chart — a computed reading resolves it.

How do I find my nakṣatra?
Your birth Moon’s exact position sets your nakṣatra and pada. Karma Jyotiṣa computes it free from your birth date, time and place.
