Mythology

Shatabhisha "the hundred healers." Its deity Varuna: god of the cosmic ocean, of truth, of cosmic order (rita). The symbol — the circle of a hundred healers: hidden knowledge heals not in one formula but in a hundred ways. Ruled by Rahu — the foreign, the new, the unconventional.

Astrological reading

Moon in Shatabhisha is mysterious, prefers solitary work, deep researcher. Physician, chemist, mystic, programmer. Few but loyal bonds. Risk: habit of self-isolation; the belief "no one will understand."
