Life, Death & Rebirth [Part 2] Bharani, U. Bhadrapada & U. Phalguni
See Part 1 for the intro of Bharani (13:20-26:40 degrees Aries Vedic/Taurus Western) & Uttara Bhadrapada (3:20-16:40 degrees Pisces Vedic/Aries Western) Nakshaktras.
HASTA NAKSHATRA is explored in Part 3
RECAP:
Previously, we looked at the main three characters (Daniel, Maura, Eyk) of 1899, including Jonas from Dark.
The actors for Daniel & Maura both have Taurus Suns (Aries—Bharani Nakshatra)
The actors who play Eyk and young Jonas from Dark both have Taurus Moons (Aries—Bharani)
These characters go through a journey of forgetting and remembering, just like the cycles of life, death and rebirth.
They're seekers, and they wish to understand the macrocosm of their situations. They're brave enough to go into the depths of the darkness and go on deeper, and deeper, down the rabbit hole.
In the intro of 1899 we hear a remixed iteration of "White Rabbit" by Eliot Summer.
Themes of getting lost, distortion of reality, shifts of perception, expansion of understanding the self, and facing the illusory dangers of unknown lands and foreign territory.

In these lands, it's easy to discover tempting delights, that can trap us deeper into the web—
BHARANI is called "the star of restraint," emphasizing the need for self-control, as the ruler of this nakshatra is VENUS.
(13-26' Aries [Vedic]
7-20' Taurus [Western])
There's a natural tendency toward self-indulgence with this planetary rulership.
Self-indulgence can come in many forms:
ARIES—impulsive desire, seeking control/dominance, initiating ideas & taking action.
TAURUS—physical pleasures, tangible accomplishments, and material possession
Aries North Node & Libra South Node (Western) with both Andres (Eyk/Stranger) & Aneurin (Daniel) having Uttara Bhadrapada Rahu, Andres has it as his Sun placement too.
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
3 - 16' Pisces [Vedic]
27' Pisces - 10' Aries [Western]
An all-knowing, pervasive presence, like the omniscent perspective of God, an ease of trust in the plan and all that has happened and is to come.
"Those born under the star of Uttara-bhadra are thoughtful and far-sighted souls. They understand that all actions have consequences, and they think their plans through carefully. This characteristic makes them much more self-controlled than other Pisceans."
There's a polarity with Saturn (Ruler of Nakshatra) & Jupiter (Ruler of Pisces) here, the serious analytical mind of these natives are balanced with innate wisdom and an ease of effort. Uttara Bhadrapada coils and tightens, like the serpent symbol, strong, yet moving effortlessly through its journey, while still wielding the power to strike at any moment.
They are the epitome of natural power and grace.
UTTARA PHALGUNI 26:40 degrees Leo & 10:00 degrees Virgo [Vedic]
20' Virgo - 4' Libra [Western]
This is the guiding light, the faith that leads at the end of hope.
This nakshatra is ruled by the Sun, and in the sign of Virgo it's influenced by Mercury here as well. With consideration to the ARIES/LIBRA axis in Western, there's an exploration of relationship to self and others, and the lengths we'll go to sacrificing ourselves or others for the ultimate cause, where we stake our commitment.
In the show, this theme is the core magnetism of the character's story arcs.
How far are we willing to go to save another?
And who, or what, are we willing to sacrifice in order to save the ones we love?
From the Vedic perspective, we're taking a look at the PISCES/VIRGO axis—the freedom, surrender of oneness consciousness, of trust, faith and unconditional love versus the rigid structure of reason that categorizes right and wrong.
It's interesting that the symbol of UTTARA PHALGUNI is represented as a BED. It's where we rest and recharge, and it's also where we may provide a warm hearth for others to feel safe in our care.
Giving & receiving.
Characters in both shows (1899 & Dark) are often seen waking in their bed, usually from a dream. Partly, it alludes to the existing alternative realities and tests our sense of perception.
What's real? What's not? Which one's best?
Living in a dream can feel more satisfying to some, gripping onto another illusion as a "better" alternative, a deeper trap of the karmic cycle. RAHU & KETU, the serpent eating itself (ouroboros).
The lesson here is in facing the surrender of one's ego, the impulsive desire to attach onto pleasures and selfish gains, in order to achieve freedom for all (collective awakening), and release from samsara.
Uttara Phalguni emphasizes the polarity of independence and co-dependency. One can succumb to loneliness, and fear the weight of relationships, but desire it, chasing it within a fantasy. Or they can feel lost and scattered without an anchor to bind them to the web of life's drama.
