Mythology

Anuradha "following Radha" — walking in the footsteps of Radha, Krishna's beloved. Its deity is Mitra: god of friendship, of accord, of light-companionship. Lotus symbol: the flower that rises from mud yet stays pure. Saturn rules — patience and long-term loyalty.

Astrological reading

Moon in Anuradha carries a capacity for deep friendship; few but loyal bonds. Group facilitation, quiet leadership, international relations. Risk: loyalty given to the undeserving; trampling own limits for friendship.
