Bharani (Devanagari: भरणी)(Tamil: பரணி) is the second nakshatra in Hindu astronomy, corresponding to 35, 39, and 41 Arietis. [1] In Jyotiṣa, Bharani is ruled by Shukra (the planet Venus). Also, it is classified as a Cruel or Active nakshatra, meaning that, under electional astrological beliefs, works of a harmful or deceptive nature are best conducted while the moon is Bharani.[2]
Bharani is seen as being under the domain of Yama, the god of death or Kālī. [3] The symbol of Bharani is the Yoni, a representation of the female sexual organ.[4]
Traditional Hindu given names are determined by which pada (quarter) of a nakshatra the moon was in at the time of birth. The given name would begin with the following syllables:
- Li (pronounced as in "little")
- Lu (pronounced as in "look")
- Le (pronounced as in "levity")
- Lo (pronounced as in "local")
