Exploring 1899 & Dark [Part 1] Bharani & Uttara Bhadrapada
The actors who play Daniel & Maura both have Taurus Sun (Bharani [Aries] Sun),
and the captain, Eyk, played by Andres Pietschmann, who also plays one of the main characters of 'Dark' has a Taurus Moon (Bharani [Aries] Moon)
Their sun/moon placements all land within 6 degrees of one another.
Bharani Nakshaktra is in 13:20-26:40 degrees Aries.
Bharani derives from the Sanskrit word "भार (load or burden)"
The ruling deity of Bharani is Yamaraja—the lord of death & the underworld, also the lord of dharma. If you've seen the shows, you know how deep the exploration into the psyche, death & karma/dharma goes.
Bharani's power is also associated with transporting the soul from one body to the next.
The characters are all in pursuit of fulfilling a desire, impulsive and determined, sometimes taking things to extremes.
Personal Note: I may be projecting, and I know the show is going for this as an overall vibe, but I notice that they all have this intense and somewhat dreary look, but more so in the eyes, they look like people who have seen into the depths of darkness, and not much could shock them.
Bharani is also connected to the womb, with its symbol being the female reproductive organs. Cycle of life, death and rebirth.
There's a huge emphasis on this theme in both 'Dark' & '1899'
"The dark side of Bharani is a feeling of struggle and suffering. Much of this suffering may come from your own mind. Like many artists you are a deep thinker, and it sometimes feels like your mind is tormenting you."
Other similarities are Aries North Node & Libra South Node (Western) with both Andres (Eyk/Stranger) & Aneurin (Daniel) having Uttara Bhadrapada Rahu, Andres having it as his Sun placement too.
(the two creators of the show have theirs in reverse—see below)
The director & the actor who plans Jonas share the same NN & SN, Rahu & Ketu. (They're about ~20yrs apart in age) Uttara Phalguni Rahu, Uttara Bhadrapada Ketu
UTTARA BHADRAPADA
Symbol: Snake
Deity: Ananta—"an expansion of God in the form of a great serpent who holds the unlimited universes upon his hoods."
Planetary Ruler: Saturn
"You may wish to isolate yourself and withdraw from the world if you cannot see a favorable path forward."
The main writer Jantje Friese & the actress who plays Maura both have HASTA MOON (Virgo). [Will explore in Part 3]
I'll definitely go deeper with these themes and nakshatras, explore other characters and the overall storyline in connection to its astrology, but this is just a quick observation for now!
