Nakshatra
Shatabhisha
Ruled by Rahu
Shatabhisha means 'a hundred healers' — the nakshatra of hidden healing and mystic insight. Ruled by Rahu and energised by Varuna, the god of cosmic waters, Shatabhisha gives a gift for healing what is hidden or unconventional. Shatabhisha natives are original thinkers, natural healers, and deeply intuitive. They see what others miss and heal what others cannot reach. The shadow is isolation: the healer must also allow themselves to be healed. Connection is the practice.
