About this pada

Pada 3 of Bharani runs from Mesha 20°00′ to Mesha 23°20′ (3°20′ in all). This pada lies in Mesha; its navamsa is Tula, ruled by Venus. The nakshatra's lord is Venus, so a birth in this pada begins with the Venus mahadasha. In the avakahada chakra (tradition), the name syllable of this pada is 'ले' (Le).

What tradition holds

Tradition holds that Bharani feels deeply and is willing to carry responsibility. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: balanced thinking, courtesy, a gift for bringing people together, and a feel for art and beauty. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
