lunar eclipse enters hasta nakshatra on march 25th @ 4am EST
Tumblr media
We currently are experiencing a Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Hasta (हस्त), the nakshatra that pierces the veil of illusion through discernment. This nakshatra fully resides in the sign of sidereal Virgo, in the center of an earthy and materialistic sign. For the next six months, we are focused on obtaining our goals by refining our skills and sharpening our intelligence. Eclipses bring our attention to what is ending so something else can begin. Lunar Eclipses ask us to let go of our deep emotional baggage (likely feelings that have been building for months or even years) and release them so that we can make room for positive change. Lunar Eclipses can be emotional times that heighten our senses, perceptions, memories, dreams. Odds are, the eclipse will trigger an unexpected event either perceived as good or bad that you will later understand in-depth why it happened the way that it did. The purpose of an eclipse is to shine light on the truth when you’re blinded by your emotions and desires. Eclipses clear away all obstacles obscuring your vision so that you can see your life path clearly. Lunar Eclipses tend to lead to the end of bad friendships, draining careers, and all other setbacks. There is little to no chance of getting things reversed. Eclipses demand that we move forward.
Hasta is embedded with sthapaniya agama shakti—the power to place things directly into our hands. Hasta’s goal is to attain the never-ending knowledge of the divine and explore the world around us with humility. It has the ability to bring goals to life quickly and place tangible results in our hands. The overall purpose of Hasta is to find spiritual liberation, or moksha, through the journey of naming a goal and then accomplishing it, the ability to speak what you want into existence. Although Hasta is in the materialistic sign of Virgo, it has the deep desire to transmute the spiritual into the material and back again. It craves to understand the connection between the two planes.
Tumblr media
Hasta (हस्त) can mean “hand,” indicating skill, artistry, and a hard-working nature. The common English language words like hand, handy, hassle, haggle, haste, hard, harness etc are said to be derived from Hasta or Hastha. Hasta is ruled by the stars α Crv, β Corvi, δ Crv, γ Crv, and ε Crv, all residing within the Corvus constellation. The constellation of Corvus is supposed to be a crow. In Greek mythology, Princess Coronis was the lover of Apollo. When Coronis became pregnant, Apollo appointed his personal messenger, a white raven, to guard Coronis for the duration of her pregnancy. While carrying Apollo’s child, she became sexually involved with Prince Ischys, a mortal. When the raven realized what had happened, it brought the news to Apollo of his lover’s infidelity. Apollo became so angered that the raven didn’t peck out the eyes of Prince Ischys on sight that Apollo cursed the raven’s pure white feathers to be scorched black. Apollo then kills Prince Ischys and sends his sister Artemis to kill Princess Coronis in a funeral pyre. But before she was murdered, they removed her baby, Asclepius, from her womb. And afterwards, Coronis was tossed to the heavens to become the constellation Coronis. This tale warns the listener of the consequences of ego, ill speech, lying, infidelity, and disloyalty, all vices of the nakshatra Hasta. The Lunar Eclipse in Hasta inspires us to believe that we can achieve all that we put our minds to, and that we can manifest anything into the material realm.
Hasta is symbolized by hands, fists, and open palms. This represents power, dexterity, communication, and blessings. Our hands possess the fate of our souls. It acts like a map that translates the cosmos into lines on our palms (e.g. palmistry). This is because the hand symbolizes creation, craftsmanship, hard work, and skill. Hasta blesses us with a lot of skills that help us to survive in this material world, especially problem solving and putting things in order. The symbolism of the hand suggests the grasping nature of Hasta, and an ability to grab and hold on to all sorts of things. This grasping nature can be material, spiritual, mental, emotional, or physical. The symbolism of Hasta is a representation of attainment of the end or material object over the procedure of the attainment. The very symbol refers to the fact that Hasta holds the promise of immediate acquisition of the desired object by dint of sheer skill. This nakshatra also symbolizes agreements and greetings as represented by the hand shake. Hasta represents our urge to serve the Divine through being of service to others and nature. Mudras are positions that we can place our hands in that have various meanings. You can find mudras in all types of religious symbolism from Hinduism, to Buddhism, to Christianity. Most of the type you will find Divine beings with mudra hand placements that represent bestowing blessings and peacefulness. The hamsa symbol is also associated with Hasta nakshatra. Hasta can also represent the fingers, rings, wrists, bracelets, and bangles. Rings can represent beauty and even love and marriages. Rings and bangles represent the eternal commitment that comes with marrying someone. Both rings and bangles can be used by married women in times of hardships. When getting a divorce, annulment of a marriage, or death of a partner, rings and other jewelry have been used in place of a proper dowry to help a woman who has lost her main form of income (her husband).
Hasta is related to the anahata chakra (अनाहत), or heart chakra, because of its association with the hands and arms. This chakra is said to be connected to our feelings of compassion, understanding, kindness, and love. It is at the seat of one’s life force energy. In the Upanishads, it is described as a small flame residing within the heart. Anahata chakra is also said to have the ability to make decisions outside the realm of karma. One can make decisions based on the heart or one’s higher self, not the unfulfilled emotions and desires of lower nature. Meditation on this chakra is said to bring about siddhis, or psychic abilities. As such, Hasta has a connection to the mystical realms and usually has an understanding of the esoteric and occult. But first, one must leave behind their old way of thinking before being able to accept that esoteric knowledge and occult understandings are real to begin with. Hasta can also be symbolized by the sun, sunrays, and bright stars in the night sky. And just like our hand has five fingers, the most popular modern depiction of stars are five-point stars. The sun’s thermal energy sustains all life on earth and keeps it nourished. When humans first moved from the hunter-gatherer lifestyle to farmers, the most important part of this transition was our ability to use tools and our ability to care for livestock. Animal husbandry changed the way we farmed the land, and thus cattle and sheep are considered to be symbols of life and even civilization. All modern civilization revolves around livestock. We owe our technological advancements to our ability to care for animals. The potter’s wheel can also act as a symbol of Hasta, representing hard work, refinement, and the time required to achieve perfection. Another symbol of Hasta are cattle and buffalo. Cattle is the animal of life while buffalo is the animal of self-sacrifice. Both animals give until there is nothing left to give. This represents the sacrificing and giving nature of Hasta, often donating to charity and volunteering their time to the collective. Hasta feels the best when others put their faith in them and think highly of their abilities. Hasta enjoys being in service to others, however it must not give away all of their light.
Hasta is ruled by Savitar, the god of the Sun and its light. Savitar dispels the darkness of ignorance from our mind and infuses it with Divine intelligence. He shines as the light of intelligence, skill, health and positivity within us. He inspires us to see everything in a more positive light. He blesses us with the power of recognition and understanding of things. Savitar has the ability to manifest what we are seeking and place it in our possession. He is also the source of the creative and procreative energy of all beings. Yet, strong intellect, if not balanced by an open heart, can also make us too self-centered, insensitive or even greedy and egoistic.
Hasta is also connected to the Moon. Bhuvaneshvari (भुवनेश्वरी), or Parvati (पार्वती), is the Mahavidya associated with the Moon. Bhuvaneshvari is a compound of the words Bhuvana Isvari, meaning “Goddess of the World” or “Queen of the Universe.” She is mother of the world, or whose body comprises all of the fourteen lokas (syncretized with the seven circles of heaven and seven circles of hell) of the cosmos. She embodies all of existence, acting as a representation of the material, mental, emotional, and spiritual planes. Bhuvaneshwari is the creator of the five elements. Bhuvaneshwari is the creator of the five elements. The Saptha Matrika, the Seven Mother Goddesses) are said to have emanated from her beeja mantra: Hreem (Hreemkara). Just like how there are 7 days in a week (seven solar cycles, or days, in every week), there are seven powers that Bhuvaneshvari possess, symbolized by the saptamatrika.
This particular Lunar Eclipse has the Sun, Mercury, and Rahu on one side with the Moon and Ketu on the other. Mercury is the signifier for Hasta, so Mercury being involved is a good sign. However Mercury is opposing the nakshatra of Hasta. So this Lunar Eclipse is all about balance: balance of the mind and body, balance of the mental and emotional, balance of the upper and lower. The Moon being with Ketu allows for us to reach new emotional and spiritual heights, but we have to be willing to remove ego from our feelings. We must not get caught up in judgements, critics, and negative opinions. We must remove ourselves from the need to belittle others or ourselves verbally. When we can detach from our primal emotions, we can unlock our ability to see beyond that which is in front of us. Both the Moon and Ketu are in Hasta nakshatra. However, the Sun is in Uttara Bhadrapada while Mercury and Rahu are in Revati. We are getting to the root of what allows us to feel like we have purpose in life. But we might become entitled and blinded by what we want if we aren’t careful. We can slip into our ego state easily with Rahu irritating the Sun. And Mercury might accidentally say something it doesn’t mean if we aren’t careful. We need to  keep up unnecessary comments and complaints to ourselves or we risk saying something that creates setbacks in our goals. Our words hold more weight and meaning than we may realize at this time.
Individual Interpretation
Full Moon Lunar Eclipses are connected to our emotions, feelings, moods, and needs. Hasta Lunar Eclipse intellectually creative and able to come up with original ideas and new ways of doing things. Our speech and writing are more thoughtful, allowing us to express how we feel more effectively. It helps us to interact with the world and engage in its game with a little bit of healthy detachment and sense of humor. It encourages us to take things more lightly and look at difficult situations in life or obstacles with curiosity of a child, rather than taking it too seriously. Challenges, after all, are our opportunities to learn, progress and grow stronger. Your foresight and intuition are heightened. With Hasta and Virgo stimulating our mental faculties, we are becoming more aware of our surroundings and how we can move in order to get to our goals. You are making better decisions now as you are more capable at perceiving all angles of a situation and predict possible outcomes beforehand. You quickly find solutions and can convince people of your perspectives. You’re more aware of your surroundings, heightening your listening comprehension skills.
You may be excessively critical when under stress and lose your natural patience. You often do have to deal with stress in your life—you might feel overburdened or repressed, and may struggle with your self-esteem. If you start to indulge your every sensual desire, you could fall into a lifestyle that is morally and physically unhealthy. Spend more time enjoying nature as this can be a great healing activity. The serenity of nature can calm your mind. However, be mindful of your general environment both in and out of nature as you may be prone to getting yourself into hazardous situations.
Hasta Lunar Eclipse is encouraging us to find wealth and abundance in our everyday lives. Although it may not happen immediately, it’s likely that you will achieve success within the next six months. It is important to work towards a goal consistently. Consistently is the key right now. Hasta is great for anything involving the hands: skill, dexterity, craftsmanship. Hasta imparts the “midas touch” into all things that will put our full attention on. It’s important to develop our skills now so we can use them for success and achievement later. Finding a path that offers spiritual fulfillment, rather than just material success, will create a positive shift for you. Hasta could encourage a more competitive side that values winning at all costs even if it brings your undoing. Comparison is, however, the thief of joy. And getting caught up in what others are doing is merely a distraction from what you are to be doing. Hasta wants us to zoom in on what we are good at ourselves, not asking us to be good at what others are good at. This transit is for our own betterment. We are only in competition with ourselves. Avoid stressing yourself, overburdening yourself, or repressing how you feel. You may  struggle with low self-esteem if you don’t focus on yourself. Avoid being highly critical of yourself and others.
We are going to be more focused on our home, family, and close relationships, seeing our private life and being the foundation to all our successes. If our home life is peaceful and serene, we have the necessary basis to be able to focus on other important objectives. This is a time for you to dedicate to your family and close relationships. Hasta nourishes all that you love to pour your time and efforts into, and thus your family and close relationships can flourish with this eclipse. This is a time for letting go of what prevents you from showing up as your full self and other relationships that distract you from what is important to you. You’re re-evaluating who drains your light and who allows you to shine your brightest.
Those with Rohini, Mrigashirsha, Ardra, Pushya, Hasta, Chitra, Svati, Anuradha, Purva Ashadha, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Uttara Bhadrapada, and Revati placements will have the most positive experience under this eclipse (especially Svati). If you have Bharani, Krittika, Punarvasu, Ashlesha, Magha, Purva Phalguni, Uttara Phalguni, Vishakaha, Mula, and Dhanishta placements, this eclipse will be so-so for you. This eclipse will affect those with Ashvini, Jyeshtha, Shatabhisha, and Purva Bhadrapada placements the most negatively. You may find it hard to not focus on what isn’t working in their lives right now. There could be a tendency to get overly emotional as Hasta asks you to be honest with yourself about why you feel stuck and incapable of moving forward in life. You can’t escape from this feeling. You must sit with discomfort in order for it to pass. Be careful to not make promises that you cannot keep during this transit.
Collective Interpretation
We as a collective are becoming more compassionate and understanding to our peers. Spiritually, that is the direction we are mostly headed in at least, but some might become trapped in a critical way of thinking. There could be more personal projections going on. Some might feel comfortable trying to tell you who you are based on their own perspectives and ideologies. Be careful to avoid this! Focus your time on spreading the nectar of empathy and love towards all beings. And make sure to put your energy towards building up your auric field so as to not absorb the feelings and emotions of others around you. The goal is to remain sovereign in your own feelings and experiences. Hasta is all about energy exchange, but we must be mindful of when we choose to share our energy with others.
Hasta supports all artisans and craftsmen. If you work as an artist, creative, performer, writer, author, publisher, typist, jewellerymaker, beautician, manicurist, tradesmen, manual laborer, inventor, banker, accountant, housekeeper, maid, cleaner, gardener, and herbalists you will see more flow of income during the next six months. Art and expression, especially visual and linguistic, is becoming more appreciated. The healing arts are also going to be appreciated as people look towards alternative healing methods and practices to help relieve themselves of aches and pains. Hasta is also related to thieves and con-artists. It’s important for us all to be more aware of our surroundings and avoid getting into dealings with those who are trying to swindle us out of your wealth. Avoid people with sticky fingers.
The public is becoming increasingly more critical and observant of world news and how their national/local governments are making decisions. The collective may become more divided as each side gets deeper into their own world views, noticing how some of their needs and wants aren’t being met by world leaders. There is a possibility that we are getting more details on what political ideology we align ourselves with. We are asking ourselves if our government or nation actually serves the people or are they serving themselves. Are they making sure they have money in their pocket and food in their fridges before making sure the people are safe and secure? Are they making business deals behind the scenes at the expense of the population? Are the laws they are focused on passing related to what we are experiencing on a daily basis? The next six months will be eye opening for all of us. And this time is important because this is the biggest election year in decades. The people are highly watching their government officials right now so any wrong move or slip up will be focused on. Everyone will be talking about it and judging whether someone deserves to be an official again next year. This goes for both local and national elections. Pay attention to what’s going on in your town/city, county, state/provinces, territories, and country.
Both Virgo and Hasta encourage us to spend time giving to our community, volunteering our time or donating our money for the greater good. Hasta supports all giving and receiving to people, animals, and nature. The public needs to be focused on developing a sense of community and togetherness. We should all be focused on the greater good, and how we and the government can do more to service the community. We must all bear the burden of responsibility.
There could be a resurgence of spiritual and religious ideology as Hasta is associated with spiritual devotion. Hasta wants to gain material wealth by devoting itself to a higher being. This could encourage others to seek devotion as an access to God or a Higher Power.
This transit will last for a total for six months at least. At the most, it can last two years. This is subjective as the nature of the Moon, Rahu, and Ketu are subjective.

mars enters shatabhisha nakshatra on march 24th @ 6am EST
Tumblr media
Mars is now in Shatabhisha (शतभिषा) nakshatra, a nakshatra that fully resides within the constellation of Aquarius. It moved into this nakshatra @ 6am EST. For the next 18 days (from March 24th until April 10th), we are inspired to liberate ourselves from all obstacles and challenges that prevent us from going after our goals and aspirations. We are alchemizing the anger or fear that we have been holding on to and turning it into fuel for our desires. Shatabhisha is embedded with bheshaja shakti—the power to heal in the sacred waters. And with the transiting Mars relating to your need to face life’s challenges head-on while Shatabhisha helps you let go off deep-seated emotional baggage, we begin to learn that a lot of the things we perceived as major obstacles were really just small bumps in the road. The only one holding ourselves back is ourselves. We must change the way we see the world in order to change the way we see our own lives.
Shatabhisha comes from the Sanskrit words one hundred (शत) and remedy (भिषज्). One meaning of Shatabhisha is “a hundred cures,” indicating strength, perceptivity, and an aptitude for healing. Shatabhisha nakshatra is ruled by the stars of γ-Aquarii, a bright binary star system in the Aquarius constellation, asking us to accept the duality that exists within our reality. The constellation of Aquarius represents a person standing over a stream or river who is pouring water from a vessel that is infinitely deep, continuously pouring water in this body of water for eternity. γ-Aquarii symbolizes the actual water that is being poured from the vessel. The water in the symbol of Aquarius deals with the spiritual knowledge and understanding that comes with Aquarius. Aquarius is an air sign so there are cerebral and cognitive abilities like all other air signs, but Aquarius takes it a step further and connects logic with spiritual understanding. Mars in Shatabhisha encourages us to look at the mundane and spiritual when calculating how you want to accomplish your objectives in life. Look at the whole picture when deciding how you should be moving forward.
Shatabhisha is symbolized by an empty circle. The circumference of the circle divides the space into inner space and outer space of the circle. This suggests a sort of separation or containment. There is an idea of a circumferential fence that protects the inner being from outer space and any danger. It even signifies the prevent from joining the outer and greater whole by holding it captive and separate. This might be a time where you will have to leave a situation you have found yourself in and separate yourself in order to fulfill your purpose in the long run. We either have the choice of remaining in this cyclical state or transcending the confines of repetition. Shatabhisha represents the limitless possibilities. You either free yourself from the demands of others and the cyclical nature of life, or you drown in illusion.
Shatabhisha is ruled by Varuna, a form of Vishnu that presides over the vastness of the sky and ocean. As the sky and ocean are boundless, Varuna is the protector of the vast ocean of consciousness (not only individual consciousness but also collective consciousness). He awakens within us an understanding that we are all connected together, inspiring us to look at things from its all-encompassing and all embracing perspective. He imparts cosmic order and justice upon the world, washing away our sins in the sacred waters and allowing us to ascend towards the heavens. Shatabhisha is the protector of truth and righteousness. Varuna continuously tries to keep us on the right path. This is a nakshatra of penance and repaying for our karmic debts through action. Sometimes, in order for our earthly learning process to be successful, Shatabhisha also needs to give us back some of our less pleasant karma and make it manifest itself in our lives as disease, poverty, or loss. Often those so-called misfortunes become a turning point for an individual and allow us to finally learn our life lessons and heal ourselves on a much deeper level. This nakshatra inspires us to heal our mind from all polluting thoughts, so our inner ocean can become pure once again—and so the light of truth and Divine inspiration can shine through it. Because when our mind liberates itself from those limiting influences, the body automatically starts heading towards healing, too. Acceptance is the first step in that process. Shatabhisha will be inspiring them throughout life to have a little bit more faith in Divine justice and to realize that nothing ever happens to anybody without a reason – but it is merely a manifestation of our karmic lessons and debts, that we need to pay and go through in order to progress in life. Varuna does not see reality through the lens of “good” or “bad.” These descriptions do not even exist to Varuna, as he is the fluid being of water and akasha, or spirit. He will allow you to reach your fullest potential and guide you through earthly and material desires.
Tumblr media
Shatabhisha is also connected to Rahu, the lunar apogee of material attachments and the shadowy ego (and the cause of our eclipses). Rahu is the other half to Ketu. Together they symbolize the dragon with Rahu being the head and Ketu being the body. Rahu is seen as an insatiably hungry head that wants to consume all material things to fill the void of losing its body Ketu. Rahu is seen as angry and easily frightened. This lunar apogee is reactive, aggressive, and deeply insecure, but can be healed through understanding what triggered Rahu and learning how to integrate what Rahu represents rather than trying to ignore how Rahu makes us feel. So, Shatabhisha takes us to the deep waters to wash away the pain and trauma we’ve been holding on to so we can be born anew. This nakshatra encourages us to humbly accept all that life gives us, be it sweet or bitter, and to try our best to learn our karmic lesson and pay our karmic debts. Shatabhisha, because of its connection to the circle, can sometimes also symbolize ouroboros, the ancient snake that eats its own tail. The insatiable taste of Rahu and the cyclical expansion of the cosmic circle reminds us of ouroboros. This symbol is often interpreted as the eternal cyclic of life or the eternal cycle of death. This symbol has been used to describe the kundalini force, a concept that is also often related to Shatabhisha. The shedding of a snake’s skin also symbolized the idea of renewal of self. The snake biting its own tail is a fertility symbol in some religions and cultures; and the tail of the snake is a phallic symbol, the mouth is a yoni symbol. There are major sexual undertones throughout Shatabhisha’s symbolism.
Individual Interpretation
Mars is connected to our primal nature, behavior, attitude, and instincts. This planet describes our strength, endurance, stamina, and confidence. You are feeling more ambitious and driven during this transit. You are setting your sights high on a goal and working hard to achieve it. But this could be a project that you need to work on by yourself, without the assistance from others. It’s important to organize your thoughts, lay out your priorities, and proceed step by step in a systematic way, leaving no details out of your plan. Shatabhisha derives its power from secrecy and concealment. Shatabhisha Mars seeks things that are hidden and gains power from them. Spending more time in isolation and alone could be beneficial for your spiritual growth. And this does not mean isolation to the point of feeling lonely, but learning how to enjoy your own personal time by yourself (and even learning the importance of keeping secrets to yourself). This is a time to choose what you say wisely. You may not realize the consequence of saying too much to someone until it is too late. You are prone to feeling misunderstood, restricted, and lonely. This could negatively impact your mental health and lead to strong feelings of apathy and loathing. Shatabhisha Mars is a highly sensual and sexual transit. There could also be an influx of piercings and tattoos during this time as Mars associates blood and pain with accomplishment and Rahu enjoys the destructive creativity of the piercing and tattoo industry. Avoid the usage of harsh drugs as Shatabhisha Mars may also inspire many to escape the heaviness of reality through muddying their senses. Many are more prone to addictions and won’t be afraid to go to extremes, even if this has a negative impact on their health and well-being.
Mars relates to our physical fitness, nutrition, and overall health and vitality. Shatabhisha allows us to rid ourselves of our negative vices and habits. Thus, this could be a good time to get on a cleaner diet. You don’t have to change your entire diet overnight (which is highly unrecommended by most reliable doctors and nutritionists), but rather choose a few habits that you think you should change for the better and do the proper research to maintain these habits. Things like eating more fresh fruits and veggies, cutting down on your complex carbohydrate intake, increasing how much protein you consume, and drinking plenty more water can be helpful to this new lifestyle change. There could be an influx of people wanting to go to the gym to tone and build muscle. Bottomline is, you want to know more about your body and how it operates for you. Get to know what foods make you feel good, how much sleep you need to feel well-rested, and how much exercise you can consistently manage on a day to day basis. Self-care practices such as solitude, meditation, yoga, and spending quality time in nature can maximize your strengths while minimizing your negative tendencies. Finding a balance between physical strength and spiritual endurance is important.
Mars symbolizes our assertive nature, need for dominance, and how we approach confrontations.This is a time for healing your anger and aggressions. It’s becoming more clear to you now more than ever that holding on to your anger is not benefiting you nor are you finding yourself able to easily move on. Many people are dealing with irritations that are completely justified, but their reactions and what they say in the heat of the moment could’ve been expressed in a better way. Shatabhisha Mars is helping us tweak the way we approach what bothers us so that we can transmute these emotions rather than having to keep dealing with the same triggers. In some people, they may find that feeding their anger can actually lead to physical illness and conditions associated with the stress of agitation. You have a difficult time detaching yourself from your pain. You may want to spend your time doing therapy whether that means going to a licensed professional therapist or performing self-healing techniques on yourself at your leisure.
Collective Interpretation
Mars is connected to scientific discoveries and medical advancements. There could be some sort of scientific discovery pertaining to surgical instruments and technologies being innovated. Under this sort of transit, scientists are usually focusing their attention towards finding cures to various biological ailments and conditions. Unfortunately, some individuals will discover new diseases they didn’t realize they had or conditions they were aware of could potentially flare up if there are any negative aspects in their chart colliding with this transiting Mars. In the medical field, there could be more people looking to ease their physical pain or the symptoms of their mental conditions. If you are a scientist, biologist, chemist, engineer, doctor, surgeon, paramedic, pharmacist, pharmacy technician, drug dealer, or herbalist you may find an influx of discoveries or customers in your line of work over the next two and a half weeks.
Mars symbolizes civil servants (specifically those that are suppose to keep the public safe) such as firefighters and police officers. Mars, the planet of fire and blood, being in connection to Rahu could increase the public's need for safety. There could be an influx of accident, fires, electrical issues, and water damage (because of Shatabhisha's connection to water). At the worst, there could be more crime, riots, police brutality, and terrorism. Shatabhisha Mars could create more division amongst the people and the state as the state weaponize its police and military to suppress the public. There could be boiling tensions between world leaders and the people they are suppose to be leading. This is likely due to the world leader's inability to meet the needs and standards of the people they are to be ruling over. And because the world is feeling more desperate for safety and security, this encourages outcastes of society to look towards violence and crime to meet their needs. Thus stealing, scamming, and fraud.
Mars is also related to the military and war. And Rahu, at its worst, can relate to war as well but genocidal wars and various war crimes. Although Shatabhisha has the unifying energies of Varuna, Shatabhisha being ruled by Rahu is not the most promising sign for the collective. In order to Shatabhisha to not give way to the destructive tendencies of Rahu, each individual would have to accept that they are a part of a bigger collective. The collective is working through a lot of anger and trauma together, however the anger and trauma is caused by wanting to be separated. Mars representing (the perceived) enemies of the state and Shatabhisha being a nakshatra separate from what is perceived to be boundless, this could continue to encourage the genocides that are currently going on. Shatabhisha could inspire sides to further divide themselves and Rahu’s influence (especially with the eclipse in 24 hours) may blind the oppressive, genocidal side into thinking they are being attacked when they are not. This transit could inspire the oppressive side to also focus on technological advancements that they can weaponize against the defensive side. Shatabhisha rules oceans, lakes, rivers, streams, and reservoirs so there could be an offensive attack on water in order to drown people or pollute their drinking water. Shatabhisha also rules the sky and clouds so there could be more airstrikes. This negative influence will be the strongest between March 24 - 28 (when Shatabhisha Mars travels through the first pada and during the Lunar Eclipse in Hasta) and again between April 2 - 7 (when the Sun conjuncts Rahu and Mercury semisquares Mars).
