Nakshatra in its Rashi Environment
The first two padas lie in Capricorn (earth element) and the last two in Kumbha (Aquarius, air element). In Capricorn, Mars (the nakshatra lord) attains exaltation, so they are extremely practical and hungry for authority. In Aquarius they show vision and an interest in social service.
The nakshatra lord is Mars and the sign lord is Saturn. The Mars-Saturn relationship indicates extreme friction. But it is this very friction that shapes them like a disciplined soldier.
This nakshatra has the remarkable power to overcome hardship and build an empire from nothing.
