the beauty of magha

ketu is the exact opposite of rahu, this is the polarity of the rahu/ketu axis. rahu is obsession, ketu is rather detachment. ketu (being the south node) represents everything we’ve already mastered in our past lives, due to this mastery, natives tend to feel a detachment of desire from what they have already achieved or mastered. there is no need to obsess (rahu) over said objects or opportunity. ketu, being detachment from the material realm, invites and pulls the native towards spirituality. in magha, we see the semi-evolved state of ketu and ketu gravitating towards the ancestral astral realm (due to the ruling deity being the pitras). however, due to leo being the natural fifth house, we see magha being pulled towards the themes of this house as well (pleasure and creativity). this dichotomy between spirituality and pleasure may be why we see so many magha natives gravitate towards the usage of drugs, especially tobacco. for example, magha natives like helena bonham-carter in “fight club” and pamela anderson in “barb wire” feature scenes of both women wishing to escape their current situation and disassociate while smoking cigarettes. while this may not seem important to some, i find this to be interesting, due to ketu’s symbolism of already being smoky and tamasic in nature. when looking up some iconic smoking scenes, the native seems to always have magha/ketu placement/s. i.e. the iconic scene of the character mia wallace smoking in her home in “pulp fiction” was played by uma thurman (magha lagna).

all of the neuter planets (mercury, saturn, and ketu) tends to bestow their natives with a somewhat androgynous, slender physique. this is why we see so many supermodels/nepotism models have rashis/nakshatras ruled by these planets. saturn bestows a more long, elongated physique; mercury bestows a more smaller, elvish physique; and ketu bestows a more magnetic, whispy or waify physique (for example, krysten ritter). however, for some magha natives, we see the martian/solar (leo rashi) nature of magha dominating the individual and bestowing them with the typical curvy, busty physique many mars natives are famous for having (i.e. dolly parton and megan thee stallion). it truly depends on the aspects, 1st & 2nd houses, and other primary placements of a native to decide their bodily appearance.

one thing i noticed among magha natives is the prevalence of gold jewelry. gold is ruled by the planet jupiter. jupiter (the guru) symbolizes wealth, spirituality, education, and culture. wearing gold (being of the jupitarian-ruled color yellow) is said to remedy the negative effects of jupiter in one’s chart. i believe many magha individuals unintentionally wear gold to bring austerity into their often tumultuous lives, as ketu (being of dhumavati) may unfortunately bring much strife, loneliness, and unfulfilled desires to the native. the color opposite of yellow is purple. interestingly enough, ketu is said to be symbolized by the color purple, due to the combination of the red, fiery rashi rulers (aries, leo, sagittarius) and the cool, sublte vimshottari ketu-ruled nakshatras (ashwini, magha, mula). please note that @/kstdt88 on twitter has an amazing, in-depth thread on the purple symbolism of ketu!

magha individuals tend to have extremely dark hair or, much like many of the fiery mars natives, red/auburn hair. this is because mars and ketu are said to be extremely similar in nature. both planets possess the same subtle, fiery energy. both are known to convert lighter solar, external energy to serve their own internal, darker energy. this darker energy may reflect in its natives through auburn hair, darker/tanner complexions, and darker eyes/hair. due to ketu also being the dreamy, sleepy south node, magha individuals tend to have very large, dreamy, and lustrous eyes. we can also see many magha natives with plumpy, pouty lips, this likely being the effect of the yin undercurrent of the polarity of the nodes.

gandanta points are where fire and water rashis (signs) and nakshatras meet. gandanta means the “knot at the end”. according to vedic texts, these points are considered to be prone to have multiple issues in life and the native may be highly susceptible to karma. the gandanta point of magha ranges from 0’00-3’20 (in the aries pada). any planet placed in these points will struggle with feelings of low self esteem and worth. this warps and misconstrues gandanta point natives’ perceptions of their true self (if not remedied). the chandra appears to have the most difficult time in these padas. the chandra is, essentially, one’s soul. if placed in these padas, the soul must learn how to reconcile their karma (whether it be from a past life, ancestral, or from the native’s current life). there is a reason why all ketu nakshatras (ashwini, magha, mula) and mercury nakshatras (ashlesha, jyeshtha, revati) contain these points. ketu is the south node, representing our past lives and karma. whereas, mercury is the planet of awakening the discriminating intellect between benefic and malefic actions, essentially good and evil. the harsh, polar forces of water and fire (rashi elements) coupled with past lives and karma (ketu) and knowledge (mercury), explains the tamasic nature of magha native’s music. i.e. marina (and the diamonds), dolly parton, nancy sinatra, and the neighbourhood’s vocalist jessie rutherford. even though these artists’ genres range from pop country to alternative rock, we still see a common dark undercurrent. all artists have been known to touch on taboo subjects, such as drugs, abusive relationships, and eventually falling susceptible to the power of love. this is the nature of magha’s gandanta point; we see magha become heavily immersed in the veils of intoxication and craving for release from the physical plane. which is why many magha natives, if evolved, transcend this affinity. dolly parton was well known for her hit song “jolene”, in which she pleads with her best friend not to take her man. she essentially talks about craving the intoxicating love of her partner and wishing it to never go away. later on, parton evolves into singing about more positive subject matters like finding healthy love and beauty in her partner (in “islands in the stream”). the same appears to happen with the singer marina (and the diamonds). in marina’s first albums, “the family jewels” and “electra heart”, she sings about having a manic god complex, being a “washed up” teen, abuse, etc.. now, in her latest single, “man’s world”, we see her wanting a patriarchal change and calls for feminine sexual unity and love (this is also why we see so many evolved magha natives embracing their sexuality). these evolutions may sound familiar… going back to one of my last posts, in the ardra nakshatra, we saw this musical progression with ardra native lana del rey as well. this just goes to show the deep, evolutionary path that many natives of the nodes experience; from an obsession with taboo lifestyles to growing into their own being and choosing to open their anahata chakra.

as always, i am open to any constructive criticism! i tried to touch on both the appearance, fashion and habits of magha and i hope i did well! i am just enamored with magha’s feisty, dreamy, dark, and loyal nature if you are looking for more information about magha, get to know the overrulers and supreme deities of ketu, chitrakupta (god of karma) and brahma (god of knowledge), and surya, agni (fire god) and shiva (the supreme god)!! if any of my placements or information is incorrect please feel free to let me know! also, i am fully aware of the origins of vedic astrology and if i was in anyway disrespectful to hindu culture, i will take down this post immediately xx
*all of these placements were found using astrotheme/.com and/or astro-charts/.com. it is important to note that some chandra (moon) placements may be off by up to 6 degrees and lagnas (risings) as well, due to the fact that many websites do not have 100% accurate birth times for the given celebrities.
*i take absolutely no credit for the invention of vedic astrology-based appearance profiles. please watch claire nakti on youtube or look into @/cn0bles, @/lovejustlied, @/dh4nishta, and @/vanillemercure on twitter for more in-depth analysis on vedic astrology xx
