Anuradha means "Following Radha" (Radha is the divine lover of Krishna). It implies devotion, following, and love. Its deity is Mitra, the God of Friendship and Contracts. Mitra is the gentle aspect of the Sun, the one who brings people together in harmony. The mythology of Mitra emphasizes loyalty, cooperation, and solidarity. Unlike Vishakha (which competes), Anuradha collaborates. It is located in Scorpio, ruled by Mars, but the star itself is ruled by Saturn. This creates a fascinating dynamic: The passion of Mars constrained by the discipline of Saturn. This is the energy of the "Spiritual Warrior" or the "Devoted Lover." The symbol is the Lotus. The lotus has its roots in the mud (Scorpio darkness) but its flower in the sun. This signifies that Anuradha natives can rise above difficult circumstances or trauma to become enlightened beings. They are the alchemists who turn pain into love. Another symbol is the Staff (Danda), representing the wandering ascetic or the sage. Anuradha natives often travel far from home or live in foreign lands. They are seekers. They are often rebellious against orthodox traditions (Saturn) but deeply spiritual in their own way. The friendship aspect is key. Anuradha natives will die for their friends. They form deep, karmic bonds. They are the organizers of groups and societies. They believe in the power of the collective.
