Anuradha

Anuradha is the 17th of the twenty-seven nakshatras (lunar mansions), spanning 3°20′–16°40′ Scorpio of the sidereal zodiac.

Its ruling graha is Shani (Saturn), its presiding deity Mitra (god of friendship and contracts), and its symbol the lotus.

Anuradha is friendship and devotion — the lotus that blooms even in deep, dark water. Under Saturn and Mitra, it gives loyalty, the capacity to work with others, and a devotion that deepens under pressure. A mansion of warmth disciplined into faithfulness.
