Kishori joins me to look at the second lunar mansion within the star sign (sidereal) Aries: Bharaṇī.

Bharaṇī means ‘she who bears’ and represents the power of creation, as well as the forbearance that is required in giving birth to something. The symbol is the female genitalia, and the ruling deity is the god of restraint. Something must be relinquished to achieve a goal. This is a very creative and lustful sign, but also very disciplined - a force to be reckoned with.
