General Characteristics

Rahu rules over Shatabhisha Nakshatra. The word Shatabhisha can be translated as 100 doctors or medicines. The symbol of Shatabhisha Nakshatra is a circle, which symbolizes the restrictions or limiting oneself within the boundaries. At the same time, it gives some protection to the natives from the outside world in terms of diseases or from enemies. There is an inherent nature with these individuals not to go beyond these restrictions. These individuals are confident and very focused in their approach. Normally they will be very calm people but at times they get hyperactive. They will be very generous and liberal. They will be very principled and selfless people.

Natives with Shatabhisha Nakshatra are hardworking and very focused on their goals. They want to achieve many things in life and will be ambitious. Sometimes desires overpower them and end up doing harm to others. They are very sociable in nature and will have many friends. They possess organizational and interpersonal skills with them. Another interesting quality observed with these people is that they are methodical and face the problems head-on.

It is said that Shatabhisha individuals are dominated by secretive and deceptive characteristics. Sometimes they become too defensive in their approach. The other negative trait of these people is that they are unpredictable and reckless and will become difficult to trust easily. Sometimes there will be sudden outbursts of temperament and at such times it will become difficult to calm them. Another problem with them is that they get addicted very easily. Since the Moon is placed in Rahu Nakshatra and Saturn’s rasi, they are vulnerable to emotional disturbances. Moreover, as an airy sign, the imagination can go wild and turbulent.
