Alignment of Signs and Nakshatras

So, here is the thing. In my introductory video of Nakshatra - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dLlLg0yvRAw , I said that representations of a nakshatra gets aligned with representations of sign that nakshatra falls-in. Like, Cancer and Pushya represent same things, Leo and Magha represent same things and likewise we can see combinations of other sign-nakshatras.

A person commented on video then how come Swati is part of Libra as Swati is all about being independent and free whereas Libra is all about being in relationship?

I am glad that this question was asked just at the time when Venus is about to retrograde and many people are about to question the meaning of relationship they are in and partner they are with.

So, simplest response to this question can be the same thing which every spiritual being is trying to tell us, i.e. "Love is Freedom". Real Love or Real Relationship always brings Freedom and Independence to its partners.

The most eternal or divine love we all talk about is the love between Radha and Krishna. And it is because when Lord Krishna wanted to leave Vrundavan and go to Mathura on Hs path of Karma, at that time Radha never tried to stop Him for even a second. She let Him go on His destined path.

Same independence we could see between Gautam Siddhartha and Yashodhara where Yashodhara didn't pursue Siddhartha and didn't try to catch hold of him when Siddhartha decided to leave the palace and his family.

I understand that this philosophy of love is difficult to understand because we are taught by our families, friends, movies and societies that Love is all about capturing, controlling or possessing someone. But it is the act of the most unsecured person. Only an unsecured person would try to capture or control an individual in the name of love/relationship as it gives him a sense of power over other person's life. And we have to agree that we are an unsecured bunch of people, most of us. So, we agree and get aligned with any such theory but that won't change the eternal truth that controlling others is the biggest sign of weakness.

Also, it is not only about romantic relations but we can see the same insecurity even in relationship between parents and children or in any other relationship. It is interesting to note that parents are supposed to make children strong by giving them confidence but parents themselves are suffering from their own insecurities.

So, Swati falling in Libra is not wrong. Our perception and understanding of relationship is wrong that if you are in relationship then you can't be independent and free.

When Venus went retrograde in 2018, I posted some important things on Venus retrograde and relationships. I will try to find those posts and re-post them.

"If someone is trying to be possessive of you then he is not treating you more than an object as only objects can be possessed". - Osho.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
