Bharani Nakshatra

All four padas are in Mesh (Aries).

Tattva here is the nakshatra's own element in the five-block scheme AstroSage also prints (Ashwini to Mrigashira earth, Ardra to Purva Phalguni water, Uttara Phalguni to Anuradha fire, Jyeshtha to Shravana air, Dhanishta to Revati ether) — not the element of the Moon sign.

The naming letters for Bharani are Lee, Lu, Le, Lo, one per pada. In the Namakaran tradition a child is named beginning with the sound of the pada the Moon occupied at birth, so the pada — not just the nakshatra — decides the letter.

Varna is given per pada because Ashtakoota matching scores the varna of the Moon sign (water signs Brahmin, fire Kshatriya, earth Vaishya, air Shudra). Some tables also assign a varna to the nakshatra itself; those lists disagree from source to source and matching does not use them.

Mesh rashi baby names

Bharani is the star of carrying: its symbol is the womb, and its deity is Yama, who keeps the law at the end of life. The tradition joins the two ideas — holding something until it is ready, and accepting what has to end. Natives are read as intense, loyal and able to bear heavy responsibility without complaint, with a strong appetite for life's pleasures under Venus. The caution is extremes: all or nothing in work, in love and in restraint.

A nakshatra describes the Moon's position, which millions of people share. It is read as a tendency to reflect on, alongside the whole chart — not as a verdict on a person.

Nadi. Bharani is Madhya (Pitta) nadi. When both birth stars share a nadi, Guna Milan's Nadi koota scores 0 of 8 (nadi dosha), so a match with any of these stars starts with that gap: Mrigashira, Pushya, Purva Phalguni, Chitra, Anuradha, Purva Ashadha, Dhanishta, Uttara Bhadrapada. Several traditions list exceptions that cancel the dosha; read the full 36-point report rather than one koota.

Yoni. Bharani is Elephant yoni. The same yoni — Revati — scores the full 4 of 4. Its sworn-enemy yoni is Lion, so Dhanishta, Purva Bhadrapada score 0 of 4 in either direction.

Gana. Bharani is Manushya gana. The Gana koota is directional — the score depends on which partner is the groom — and these are the engine's own values:

Nadi, yoni and gana are 18 of the 36 points; the rest come from the Moon signs and the count between the two stars. Full kundli matching · Matching by name · Nakshatra porutham

Times are for Bengaluru. The Moon enters and leaves a nakshatra at the same instant everywhere, so another city changes only the clock these are written in. The Moon takes about 27.3 days to come back to the same star and stays roughly a day each time.
