Hello, hi beautiful folks 🌿
Welcome back to my podcast series on Instincts and Totems of the Nakshatras.
After a short hiatus and a much-needed break, we now continue with the ninth Nakshatra — Āshleṣā (Ashlesha).
This is a powerful and often misunderstood Nakshatra — subtle, psychological, psychic, and deeply emotional.
Āshleṣā is ruled by Mercury, which is why you’ll often see it represented with a green color.
Yet it falls in the zodiac sign of Cancer, ruled by the Moon — making emotional intelligence, memory, and instinct central themes.
Temperament: Rākṣasa Gana
Drive: Tṛpti — grounding, containment, holding
Varna: Mleccha (unorthodox, unconventional)
Elemental tone: Water
Gender & modality: Satvic, movable, feminine
This combination makes Ashlesha naturally psychic, inward, perceptive, and emotionally alert.
🔥 Instinct Houses — Quick Recap
As always in this series, instinct expresses most strongly through:
• 1st House — Identity, survival instinct, self-expression
• 4th House — Emotional security, mother, inner peace
• 5th House — Creativity, romance, fame, identity expression
• 8th House — Sexual instinct, fear, power, transformation
• 12th House — Subconscious mind, dreams, psychic realms
If Ashlesha occupies any of these houses — or if their lords fall here — instinctual behavior becomes highly emotional, intuitive, and psychologically complex.
🌊 Ashlesha Nakshatra — The Serpent Mind
Ashlesha represents binding, entwining, seduction, and release.
Its life lesson is crystal clear:
“Live seductively without being seduced.
Embrace with dance — yet stay ready to change.”
This Nakshatra must learn to use charm consciously, not be consumed by it.
🐦 Bird Instinct: The Indigo Bunting
The Indigo Bunting brings refined, expressive instinct:
• Brilliant blue plumage for attraction
• Song-based territorial communication
• Seasonal migration — adaptability
• Independence and self-expression
• Seed-based, grounded foraging
Instinctually, this bird teaches Ashlesha how to express beauty without attachment.
It sings — then moves on.
🐈 Animal Instinct: The Cat
The cat adds Ashlesha’s deeper psychological layer:
• Solitary instinct
• Silent predatory awareness
• Territorial sensitivity
• Grooming and self-containment
• Heightened intuition and perception
• Comfort with unseen realms
Cats are quiet observers.
They wait.
They sense before they act.
This mirrors Ashlesha’s serpentine intelligence — emotional, watchful, and precise.
🔮 Totemic & Esoteric Meanings
Indigo Bunting Totem represents:
• Vibrancy and aesthetic magnetism
• Self-expression without dependence
• Joy and celebration
• Freedom and adaptability
• Graceful emotional movement
Cat Totem represents:
• Independence and self-reliance
• Mystery and intuition
• Feminine psychic intelligence
• Balance between play and rest
• Awareness of hidden dimensions
Together, they reveal Ashlesha’s true nature:
Psychic charm without entanglement.
Emotion without loss of self.
Seduction guided by awareness.
🧠 Instinct Integration — What Ashlesha Really Is
Ashlesha is:
• Emotionally intense
• Psychically sensitive
• Internally focused
• Highly intuitive
• Magnetically expressive
Its danger lies in over-attachment.
Its mastery lies in conscious detachment.
When balanced, Ashlesha becomes:
• A psychological guide
• A healer of emotional patterns
• A master of subtle influence
In the next episode, we step into Maghā Nakshatra, entering the royal fire of Leo, ancestral power, authority, and lineage.
Until then —
Live seductively.
But never forget who is dancing.
