The Lady of Shalott

by John William Waterhouse (1849-1917)

is based on the poem The Lady of Shalott, by Alfred Lord Tennysonr.

" And down the river's dim expanse

Like some bold seer in a trance,

Seeing all his own mischance --

With a glassy countenance

Did she look to Camelot.

And at the closing of the day

She loosed the chain, and down she lay;

The broad stream bore her far away,

The Lady of Shalott."

Jyeṣṭha Nakshatra belongs to the Nakshatra Trikona of Messenger Budha the Announcer

those born into these three nakshatra are particularly gifted in all varieties of communicative endeavor, to name only a few:

  • conversational, naarrative, signaling, reporter, announcer
  • itinerary, planning, scheduling
  • coupler-joiner, sexual, manipulative, interactive, collaborative
  • cohort, teamwork, ensemble, management, commerce, business
  • logical, explanatory, instructional, explanatory, interpretive,
  • diagramming, drafting-drawing, handcraft, technology-tools

  • inter alia

COMPATIBILITY

  • Applies to nakshatra of indriya-lagna AND nakshatra of Chandra. For emotional relationships, nakshatra of Chandra is more influential on compatibility and ease of interaction.

Psycho-socially compatible with Revati * Pushan =

Nakshatra of Budha * mercantile, conversational, collaborative

Nakshatra of Surya * center-stage, sparklingly exceptional, brightly self-reflexive Surya-style is pleasantly compatible with Budha's chatty messaging style

Nakshatra of Shukra = materialistic, accumulating, sensual

Psycho-socially neutral with Revati * Pushan

Nakshatra of Shani * materialistic, structuring, status-oriented Shani has no natural conflict with Budha's need to explain, instruct, describe, and diagram. Mercantile, conversational, collaborative, shopkeeper Budha is friendly with economic-systems regulator Shani. Budha may indicate the junior partner, the salesperson, the explainer while the Shani partner is more concerned with longevity and continuity of the operation.

Psycho-socially uneasy with Revati * Pushan =

Nakshatra of Mangala * Budha considers Kuja to be neutral; However, moving Mangala sees Blustering Budha as an enemy. Kuja likes to get things done whereas Budha is not a doer but rather a talker. This pair has too much friction to be truly compatible.

Nakshatra of Brihaspati * Guru and Budha are mutually neutral. Brihaspati welcomes every experience into the full totality of awareness, and Budha provides the messaging mechanism to preach the good news. Budha looks at Guru and sees a neutral. All would seem to be well with this pairing. However, when Guru looks at Budha, professor Brihaspati sees Budha as an arch-enemy. Guru likes to preach on the widest humanistic principles whereas Budha chats about the technical details. This pair has too much friction to be truly compatible.

Nakshatra of Rahu or Ketu * whether highly exciting [Rahu] or deeply observing [Ketu] the fascinating yet disruptive nodal styles are acceptable to neutral news-announcer Budha who is always open to an interesting story.

Most catalytic (challenging) nakshatra for Revati * Pushan

Nakshatra of Chandra * caretaking Chandra's rhythmic, parenting, routinized style recognizes only ancestral, intuitive, emotional sources of knowledge, and this conflicts with Budha's focus on logical argument with unbiased information delivery. Broadcasting Budha considers Professor Chandra to be His arch-enemy

Revatika belongs to the Nakshatra trikona of conversational, analytical sexual, manipulative hands-on Budha

However, in each case Professor Budha holds an unfriendly relationship to the rashi-pati, and this often results in the communicated messages being somewhat adversarial or abrasive in nature:

  • [Aśleṣa - Naga] Karkata ruler Chandra. Although Chandra the Glow has no enemies, and Somana is patiently parental toward young whippersnapper Budha, the quietly rhythmic, intuitive, routine-loving Chandra is disliked by chatty conversational Budha. Aśleṣa are often willing to represent, describe, discuss, or write about squeamish sexual-emotional (Budha-Chandra) topics, particularly matters of sexualized parenting, or binding, leashing, or tied restraint. Aśleṣa - Naga the Coiling Ones are famed for their remarkable capacity to mentally manipulate [Budha] the vulnerable human feelings [Chandra].

  • [Jyeṣṭha - Antares] vṛścika ruler Kuja. Although Professor Budha feels neutral toward do-it-now Kuja, professor Mangala is supremely frustrated by bantering Budha's habit of talking rather than doing. Mangala explicitly dislikes Budha. Unless Budha is very well placed, Jyeṣṭha natives are not known for their interest in entertaining alternative points of view nor do they normally feature a tolerance for ambiguity. However Jyeṣṭha excel in matters which combine words with vigorous movement, such as action-cinema, politically motivational writing, inspirational talk that provokes an active response (such as change-oriented psychological counseling), and preaching mixed with physically energized liturgies (for example, declaiming rituals, glossolalia ritual. lit-urgy = " words with actions" .)

  • [Revatī - Pushana] Meena ruler Guru. Brihaspati, the Professor of Theory, principle, and the Big Picture, explicitly dislikes detail-oriented, technology-fixated, scripted and chattering " street-talker" Professor Budha. Revati may struggle to precisely express their ideas in normal conversational mode, where they may wander off-message. However, revati can flourish in way-showing communications by using big-picture sensing modalities, such as imagistic, dreamlike fine-arts painting and sculpture, or any variety of music (often splendid singers).

QUOTATION from Dennis Harness, The Nakshatras: The Lunar Mansions of Vedic Astrology

"27. Revati: The Wealthy (Pisces 16 40 to 30 00 )

The symbols for Revati are a fish and a drum.

  • The fish is a symbol of deep spirituality as well as the twelfth sign of Pisces.
  • The drum is a marker of time reflecting the final lunar mansion according to the constellations.

This auspicious nakshatra has a deva temperament with a primary motivation of moksha, or spiritual enlightenment. The deity is Pushan, the nurturer and protector of travelers and animals.

Revati is ruled by the intellectual planet Mercury, residing in a constellation ruled by benefic Jupiter.

The animal symbol is a female elephant.

The shakti is the power of nourishment symbolized by milk . Revati is one of the most benefic nakshatras for spiritual growth and development of psychic abilities." [end quote]

Revati Nakshatra

QUOTATION from Pdt. David Frawley

  • Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra --- https://www.vedanet.com

" Pusha desired, "May I become the lord of the animals."

  • One who makes the appropriate offering to Pusha, to Revati,

  • becomes lord of the animals.

Revati gives lordship over domestic cattle, richness of harvest and fertile fields.

Those born under this Nakshatra like the good things of life

  • but as are in harmony with nature." [end quote]

Revati Nakshatra commentary by BPl

Pushan the Conductor

- the trail-guide

- the wayshower

- the ferryboat captain

- the shepherd

Guru and Budha have a somewhat adversarial relationship because they both compete for the mental attention.

  • Professor Guru wishes to call one's attention to theoretical, ideological philosophy and inclusive reality

  • Professor Budha wants to call the attention to the minutia of daily life and worldly business.

Naturally Guru dislikes Budha the Teenager who has no view of the long-term future However, budha simply disregards Wise Teacher Guru therefore Budha is not bothered.

As a result the Revatika native is Typically, rather lucky, able to move freely from one mental engagement to the next, like a monkey with long agile arms swinging from one tree branch to the next.

Revatika are often entertainers. They have a message to deliver [Budha] via dance, song, recitation, choreography, and the spoken or gestural arts. Revatika are typically unconcerned with matters of the distant past, and although capable short-term planners due to the Budha influence Revatika are not worried or even much aware of broader philosophical issues.

  • As always with the impressionable Budha -ruled nakshatra, chattering Kumara rashi ruker and bhava lord will determine the behavioral outcome.

  • As a general rule, revatika the Shining Light = very nice, but not very deep

Beast-whisperers

Revatika's special hearing intelligence interacts mainly with herd animals and cetacean pods but also potentially with seed-bearing trees and plants which migrate, move together

Pazu = flock of animals, or any source of "moveable wealth" . Revatika = The one in possession of treasury, the one with financial well-being.

Pushanya natives often display a deep affinity for animal life. They may be found in the musical sound specialties modernly called for example " horse-whisperer" or " cetacean-swimmer" wherein their innate sound sensitivities to prosody, rate, rhythm, intonation, and fluctuation of the sonar wavelengths gives a powerful gift of intuitive communication [Budha] with second-dimensional creatures.

Professionally, revatika natives with scientific abilities may find vocations in animal medicine, veterinary sciences, and eco-tourism such as safari travel (Revatika the shepherd) which focuses on interaction with higher-order beasts.

Pashupati (Shiva) the lord of animals calls attention to the freedom, alacrity, and grace of animal movement from one small concern to the next. Animals are blessed by a lack of engagement with the larger truths of existence. Animals are focused on the minutia of their immediate environment [Budha] and seem to be protected by God from the suffering caused by complex human problems.

Pushan = the ferryman, yearning to cross over, shooting in great curves like a star, agreat arch, arainbow, or a bridge, or the suckers of a wide-spreading plant.

Revatika likes to guide + rescue the vulnerable, those who deserve special protection

esspecially children and animals

  • Pashu-born may be found in pediatric and veterinary medicine, social work, family law, emergency response.

  • Also animal protective shelters and activism.

[Chandra in Revatī - Pashu] soothed by wayfaring rhythms * protector of poetic interpretations, wise familiar lyrics, soothing dreamlike songs, ancient folk narratives

Pushana * Pashu * The Pied Piper = particularly strong in the child-rescue activity, following their dharma to lead children on a path away from harm

Under influence of Shani (laws and social programs), the Budha-ruled Revatika may serve as Advancers of child-safety laws, infant-care education, and family-support programming.

Loves one's own children passionately, but need not produce own children to enact the Revatika dharma of caring for, protecting, leading children out of harm's way (and animals and the weak) .

Revatika often realizes it is necessary to save or protect the mother in order to rescue the child, so engagement with mother-child social activism is common in this Nakshatra

Revatika males may go to the extent of marrying the mother in order to help the child.

Husbandly-companions with Revatika in either the indriya-lagna or the navamsha lagna are frequently adoptive parents, adopting children either by preference or as a supplement to producing biological offspring.

BPL COMMENTARY

For Revatika births of a feminine valence, the condition of conversational, discursive, explanatory, instructional, argumentative, commercializing, evangelical Kumara may considerably affect the outcome.

Pashu the Pastor may be sensitively attuned to the signals of the animal kingdom. Hearing [Budha] the voices of mineral, plant, animal, and human worlds, antyabha-born often work for the welfare of all creatures. Many veterinarians and animal-welfare activists are Revatī-born. These way-showers are also found in all aspects of music and dancing, producing melodies, beats, and lyrics.

Whatever the Pashu folk say, others will follow and believe.

For those born into the Budha-ruled paradigm of Antyabha, siblings, cousins, schoolmates, bandmates, team-mates, castmates, classmates, entourage, ensemble, neighbors, managers, cohort, coterie, collaborative group, publishers, messengers, merchants, commercial agents, reporters, writers, scripts, plans, schedules, instructions, radio-television-internet, news-media, conferences, committees, discussions, travel itineraries, and texts -- and beasts of every description - may be especially influential.

Budha's amsha favors business of all types. Revati may produce imaginatively talkative attorneys especially commercial lawyers. Partners, siblings, and companions may also follow the logical argumentor's trade.

Instructional guidance is provided by emissaries from the civilizations of stars clustered near Zeta Piscium. Their purpose is to shepherd the flocks in safe passage, calling them to follow with an imaginative, sweet sound and rhythm

The Way-Shower

Revatika ladies expresses the natural tension between Busy Bantering Budha and Guiding Generous Guru. Commercially oriented Budha is a master of writing, reporting, cinema, and detailed communication. Kumara naturally matches the vibration of chatty students and a younger audience. Yet, brihaspati much prefers to preach on broad-scope topics, ideology and inclusive doctrine.

Revatī-born often find themselves in shepherding roles that require delivering a message to their herd of followers. The usual delivery style is musical, oratorical, or imagistic-imaginative, but any method of Showing the Way may be chosen. Pashu the Pastor combines a broad humanistic vision with a beckoning repeating signal frequency such as a slogan, ajingle, or a melody.

Themes of pastoral guidance, musical or imagistic messaging, and benevolent outreach to all creatures may contextualize Revatika's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Revatī - Pashu .

QUOTATION from Tenzing Gyatso

Dzogchen: The Heart Essence of the Great Perfection. by . (2001). Thupten Jinpa and Richard Barron (Trans.), patrick Gaffney (Ed.), foreword by Sogyal Rinpocher.

" Question: How can Dzogchen help us in our daily jobs and careers?

Dalai Lama: ...it is quite difficult to have an experience of Dzogchen,

but once you do have that experience, it can be extremely beneficial in dealing with your day to day life, your job, and your career.

This is because that kind of experience will give you the ability to prevent yourself from being overwhelmed by circumstances, good or bad.

You will not fall into extreme states of mind: you will not get over-excited or depressed.

Your attitude toward circumstances and events will be

  • As if you were someone observing the mind, without being drawn away by circumstances.

For example, when you see a reflection of a form in a mirror, the reflection appears within the mirror

  • but it is not projected from within. In the same way,

  • when you confront the situations of life, or deal with others,

  • your attitude too will be mirror-like.

Also, when a reflection appears in the mirror, the mirror does not have to go after the object that is reflected

  • it simply reflects, spontaneously, on the surface.

    The same with you: since there is no attachment or agitation at having these 'reflections' in your mind,

    you will feel tremendous ease and relief.

You are not preoccupied by what arises in the mind, naor does it cause you any distress.

You are free from conceptuality or any form of objectifying.

And so it really does help you,

in allowing you to be free from being caught up in the play of emotions like hatred, attachment, and the like." [end quote]

QUOTATION from Tenzing Gyatso

The Path to Enlightenment , edited and translated by Glenn H. Mullin. p. 97

" Seeking a Place of Refuge.

A spiritual aspirant requires a model, something he or she can look up to as an ideal and thus find guidance and inspiration. In Buddhism this is the Triple Gem, or the Three Jewels of Refuge: the Buddhas, dharma and Sangha.

When we think of the fully enlightened Buddhas--the beings who have purified their minds of all stains and obscurations and who have expanded their wisdom to the limits of existence--we feel very attracted and awed; but somehow there always seems to be a great distance between the Buddhas and us.

  • Therefore, there is the refuge of Sangha, the community of spiritual aspirants, the assembly of practitioners dwelling in the various stages of practice and attainment.

These beings provide us with a perspective on the path. We have to look up to the Sangha, but not as far as to the Buddhas. The Sangha make us think,"This person is not that far ahead of me. If I just make a bit more effort...." They give us confidence for spiritual practice. Sometimes they make us feel like we can even race them to enlightenment.

  • These are the Sangha of spiritual friends.

Thoughts of the Buddhas make us numb with admiration; thoughts of the Sangha cause us to jump to it and to apply ourselves with zeal to the spiritual path. This path and the methods for traversing it are the third Jewel of Refuge, the Dharma.

  • This is the collection of teachings to be practiced and the realizations to be attained."
