Purnima is on 8 November 2022, in Bharani Pada 2, in Aries. This particular Full Moon will meet Rahu in transit, in Aries. Natives with Lagna, Atma Karaka, Sun or Moon in Bharani will feel this influence the most. Those with Gulika or any papa graha in this Nakshatra can find best remedies on this particular day.

Dina: Tuesday Tithi: Purnima Nakshatra: Bharani (Yama) Yoga: 17. Vyatipata Karana: Bava

Bharani is the second Nakshatra „of the beginnings” (after Ashwini). Its main symbol is yoni or feminine sexual organ, representative of „giving birth to Beings that die”. It is the first, lowest form of Venus energy, preoccupied with Reproduction. "Bharani" can be translated into either "Bearing" or "She who Bears" and indeed is a Nakshatra directly related to the woumb. It relates primarily to the feminine side of nature and its capacity to receive, hold, nurture and destroy. The Head and Bottom Parts of the Feet are the body parts related to this nakshatra. In childbirth (a Bharani activity), it is either the head or feet which come out of the womb first. It is a primarily "pitta" (fiery) nakshatra.

Yama (the Binder) is the ruler deity of Bharani and is the god of death, the sovereign of the infernal regions. The wrathful one who judges the dead whom his messengers drag before his throne. He is the embodiment of righteousness (Dharma) and the king-of-justice (Dharma-Raja). Yama is the son of Sun god Vivasvat, the representative of social morality seen as one of the aspects of the Sun and knwn as the progenitor of humankind. Yama's brother is Manu, the giver of the very first Laws of humanity.

This Full Moon is in Pada 2 of Bharani, located between 16° 40' and 20° 00" in Aries, a section related to Virgo, ruled by Mercury. The emphasis here is on service and hardwork, in newly born projects. Planets here function in an altruistic way. A certain degree of organisation is seen even in typically extreme and chaotic Bharani mode.

Bharani relates to the second and seventh houses in a chart, also known as maraka or killer houses. Bharani is related to the Chaturtithi S4 / K4 tithi of the waxing and waning phases of the Moon's monthly cycle. To prepare for this Full Moon, the day of 27 November should be carefully observed under conditions of strict fasting and meditation on Uttara Ashadha elements. The results of this Full Moon will be recorded on 12 November.
