"The myth reveals the destruction is necessary for creation"

The tale connected with Ardra involves the demon Tarakasur. He practices severe discipline to receive the gift from Brahma of undefeatable power. After receiving it, he started to oppress the gods. The lesson here to look for is that power and intelligence is a double-edged sword that can lead to destructive fierce conduct.

Indications:: This is "The Star of Achievement"

Ardra is considered to be a balanced Nakshatra. Its balanced nature stems from its mental and intellectual acumen. Those who think, analyze and contemplate, don’t usually go to extremes. All of Ardra’s diffusion, chaos and storminess is nothing but nature’s way of restoring balance. If we are facing some tormenting situation in the present life, its only purpose is to dissolve and balance out our Karmas from previous lives. A thunderstorm is also a typical manifestation of nature’s way of restoring balance.

• Born Under Ardra

Ardra natives are intense and unrelenting observers of both themselves and others. This quality, coupled with the fact that they usually put their thoughts into speech, makes them appear impolite and critical. Ardra can create a whole lot of confusion and make Ardra natives scatter away their intellectual and mental energies in meaningless pursuits.

In lesser evolved souls, Ardra displays its childlike tendency to serve selfish ends through lying, unscrupulousness, etc. They are, however, courageous like Rudra and don’t mind any type of confrontation. It can also make them stubborn, arrogant and reckless

Any planets in Ardra Nakshatra have that quality of transformation, righteousness and defending the truth.
