Nakshatras affecting Longevity

There are few positions of planets which are considered not good for longevity. As we know, planets are placed in various degrees of Nakshstras (27 Nakshatras occupying 13 degree 20 minute each to cover the whole zodiac of 360 degree) at the time of birth. Each Nakshatra is further divided in to 4 padas (quarters) of 3 degree 20 minutes each. In this post, I am mentioning degrees and/or pada (quarter) of Nakshatras in which placement if a particular planet is considered inauspicious for longevity.

It is to be kept in mind that these placements are indicators of longevity halters, however, overall longevity depends over a lot of other factors, such as combined strength of Lagna, planets and Yogakarakas in natal (Lagna) chart and divisional charts of applicable divisions. Each planet gets weakened, suffocated and adversely affects the native’s longevity if placed in specific degrees or specific quarters of specific Nakshatras.

I would again repeat that these placements are longevity affecting factors, however, determination of overall longevity takes application of several other principles combined with astute analysis, intuitive wisdom and years of experience.

Ek Nakshatra Dosh

Ek Nakshatra Dosh is a peculiar type of Nakshatra dosh in which we see the birth Nakshatra (lunar constellation attained by Moon on the day of birth) of two family members born just next to each other.

When two family members, born in succession (born just next to each other with no birth in the family happening in between) are born in the same birth Nakshatra, the younger of those born suffers adversely.

If both of them share the same Nakshatra pada (every Nakshatra has 4 pada of 3 degree 20 minutes each), then the health of the younger one suffers badly. If the padas are not the same and both of them share the same birth Nakshatra only (with different pada for both of them), the wealth and happiness of younger one suffers adversely.

A very important point is to note the timing of suffering for such an individual. The suffering would start, without fail, when the two natives are physically away from each other, i.e. when one decides to live away from the other. If they live together and start growing mental and emotional distance, then also the younger one starts suffering.

Example: I am posting 2 birth charts here, and those are of 2 sisters born just after the other, with no other birth taking place in between, in the family.

Elder Sibling’s Chart

For elder sibling, birth Nakshatra is ‘Magha’ in its 3rd pada.

Younger sibling’s chart

For younger sibling, birth Nakshatra is ‘Magha’ in its 4th pada.

When these sisters started living separately, younger one’s fortunes took a dive. At that time they had mutual acrimony as well, which was resorted and she shifted back to her elder sister’s vicinity to regain lost wealth and happiness.
