Bharani nakshatra traits
Bharani carries life through transitions: birth, death and rebirth. Its natives are intense, responsible and able to bear heavy loads.
Dasha at birth
If your Moon is in Bharani, your life begins in the Venus dasha, a 20-year period; how much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Bharani the Moon had travelled.
Bharani in the Panchang
When the Moon passes through Bharani, the day takes on a fierce quality, traditionally good for bold action, though not delicate matters or new beginnings. See today's nakshatra in the Panchang.
