Shatabhisha Nakshatra

All four padas are in Kumbh (Aquarius).

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 Shatabhisha are Go, Sa, See, Su, 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.

Kumbh rashi baby names

Shatabhisha means 'a hundred physicians', and its deity is Varuna, lord of the waters and of cosmic order. Its symbol is an empty circle. The tradition reads it as the star of healing and of secrets: natives are described as independent, scientific, philosophical and private, drawn to medicine, research and technology. Rahu as lord adds unconventional thinking. The caution is isolation — a reserve so complete that others cannot reach them.

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. Shatabhisha is Aadi (Vata) 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: Ashwini, Ardra, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Jyeshtha, Moola, Purva Bhadrapada. Several traditions list exceptions that cancel the dosha; read the full 36-point report rather than one koota.

Yoni. Shatabhisha is Horse yoni. The same yoni — Ashwini — scores the full 4 of 4. Its sworn-enemy yoni is Buffalo, so Hasta, Swati score 0 of 4 in either direction.

Gana. Shatabhisha is Rakshasa 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 Doha. 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.
