About this entry
Anuradha lies in Scorpio from 3 degrees 20 minutes to 16 degrees 40 minutes, and its Vimshottari dasha, 19 years long, is Saturn's. Quarter by quarter, its navamsas, the ninth parts of a sign, are Leo, Virgo, Libra and Scorpio. Vishakha comes before it and Jyeshtha after.
In the Brihat Jataka, the Moon in Anuradha is paired with wealth and a life in foreign lands, and also with restlessness and an inability to bear hunger. The first two items are the mild part. The 1885 and 1905 editions give the same traits.
