Deep reading of Vrishchika

Vrishchika is the most secretive rashi - the home of death and rebirth. Ruled by Mangal but differently than Mesha - here Mars is a water-warrior moving beneath the surface. The Moon is debilitated in Vrishchika (3°), making emotions intense and sometimes painful. The nakshatras here are the 4th quarter of Vishakha, all of Anuradha and all of Jyeshtha. Anuradha brings discipline to friendship; Jyeshtha brings seniority and responsibility. Karmically Vrishchika learns to release control and accept the death-rebirth cycle. Upayas: red coral, meditation, tapasya (fiery discipline), serving those in distress.
