I'm getting a lot of valuable information from your videos, you deserve a lot more views and recognition. Thanks for sharing your wisdom with us!

[@VicDiCaraAstrology]

I appreciate that!

[@user-js3ze2mg3o]

I agree! I will definitely be donating and purchasing all your charts as soon as I can!

[@cosmicawakeningswmaria3721]

I appreciate your ability and style of teaching. To the point, well organized and easy breakdown of the ancient text. The Nakshatra’s have now transformed how I understand myself and people. Taking my passion of learning about the human psyche and my personal transformation to an entirely new experience! I so appreciate your focused content

[@VicDiCaraAstrology]

Thank you Maria

[@gwendolinechione]

Just causally dropping truth bombs on us with this one Vicji 🙏🏾😊🙏🏾

[@archanakumaridasgupta5536]

Chitra are super swweeet. ❤️ My lil nephew is Chitra, and he's a heart throb. Beautiful sweetness❤️

[@spiraldaddy]

I deeply appreciate your sharing of knowledge and wisdom. The Nakshatras have fed Soma to my Mgrishirsha Mercury. I feel you have given me something that goes beyond a birth chart but a narrative that forms a complete whole, a circle like Purnavasu / Aditi - I want to get a star reader on my phone and start spinning tales of the Vedic Gods as I point to them to my children. You have created a legacy Victorachaya - thank you!

[@AshleeCampbell]

your videos are incredible. so easy to understand. broken down perfectly. and the tone of your voice is beautiful

[@charm1.]

Moon in purva bhadrapada, Ketu in purvashadha,Venus in uttarashadha, mercury in anuradha first house, Chitra mars artmakarka, fierce but soft at the same time.

[@gusto1505]

As much as the content is thoroughly informative, the illustrations are sublime! Really love that part of all your videos. So thanks a lot and keep 'em coming Vic!!

[@tarifaurangzeb1]

I would say my favourite Nakshatras are: 1. Uttara Ashadha (Sun dominant): Bhishma's nakshatra. 2. Rohini (Moon dominant): Krishna's nakshatra. 3. Dhanistha (Mars dominant): Kalki's nakshatra. 4. Uttara Bhadrapada (Saturn dominant): Padmavati, wife of Kalki, nakshatra, 5.. Uttara Phalguni (Sun dominant): Arjuna's nakshatra. 6. Punarvasu (Jupiter dominant): Rama's nakshatra. 7. Pushya (Saturn dominant): Sita's nakshatra. 8. Purva Ashadha (Venus dominant): Vyasa's nakshatra. 9. Shravana (Moon dominant); Balarama's nakshatra, 10. Hasta (Moon dominant); No examples at the moment. Swami Vivekananda had this nakshatra. 11. Kritthika (Sun dominant); Asvathama's nakshatra. 12. Mrigashirsha (Mars dominant); Karna and Parashurama's nakshatra. I am a Uttara Ashadha male and in grade 7, my Social teacher was a Uttara Bhadrapada male and my Science teacher, a Uttara Phalguni female. As well as my Math teacher being a Rohini male.

[@tulikakansal9274]

Amazing content, Vic! Only a learned person of various subjects can connect all these dots and present it in such a compact yet with so much of richness in it. I take not just lessons on nakshatras from your videos, but also see psychological symbols more clearly, and more than often times, it has helped me in accepting myself and people more, and also in my profession on how to deal with different situations. This is definitely not something that one may learn one part, and is done with it. It’s complex and beautiful in it’s entirety and almost like a fractal- you explore one thing- and there’s other 100 things inside it waiting to be explored. How beautiful! Also, I love how it points to such a whole number of variety, that I want to learn more and more of it. Definitely buying your book!:D

[@studentanjaneya]

Excellent, Vic! I love your style of teaching and I especially like your graphics and the colour combinations to put into your artwork. It's just amazing. I mean the whole effect of your voice combined with the background music and visuals and the pedagogy has a haunting appeal...at least to me. Keep up the good work! I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos. 👍❤️

[@evelynzeda1974]

Thank you very much. Love your perspectives and the way you deliver information. ❤️

[@katinthekno7]

Awesome. Thank you. I am so pleased to have now introduction into your teaching and wisdom. I appreciate your softness, gentle nature, strength, methodology, and reference to ancient text/scripture. I hope for your well-being. 🙏 ❤️ Your transparency is pure and radiant.

[@GentlemanGhost1]

Vic, I truly love the background music. I've rewatched this video over 10 times just for that. Wish you could upload these pieces or rather this, separately. I am sure I am not alone in my love for the music^^

[@angelastars27]

This was so beautiful. Perfect. Thank you, friend.

[@graciegracie9187]

Thank you. Not only helpful but in and of themselves the knowledge and how you presented is as Manu said, enchanting. I'm sharing it with people who love to write stories and they are open to it. They don't even have to be about astrology. The archetypes and ideas are fascinating on their own. It is as you say about life. The distinctions you make are new and so profound.

[@Sarah-Arlow]

I freakin' love you man!!!!!!!!!!😀 Your interpretation of the Nakshatras has (as always) been very healing for me! Thank you for everything you do ❤

[@perly0153]

Thanks so muchfor sharing!! Nakshatras are the keys for the big puzzle

[@swetamalakar3945]

The only authentic nakshatra knowledge could be found here. 🙏❤️🙏

[@marinashytova2569]

Thank you so much for all your videos, for sharing your knowledge. ❤

[@jayar4456]

Shree Vic DiCaraji! beautifully explained. Now it's easy to differentiate the nakshatras., easy to memorise. Thankyou. It's the most simplified explanation to understand.

[@sheilamurray9197]

Very good and informative. Easy to understand. Looking forward to more. Thank you. Namaste.

[@pedrojoffily8401]

this video helps a lot with understanding naksatras "all at once", something I have always struggled with

[@mzphitslave]

Love your tasteful presentations, thank you!

[@OptionBuyerSeth]

Lovely video vic.. Very nice knowledge on Nakshatras.. Thanks for sharing..

[@debisou7051]

Thank you Vic. Enjoying learning from your videos.

[@shreyasharma7433]

Thank u for this valuable information! i actually wrote this down in my diary!

[@frankmeyer1202]

This structured way of categorizing the Nakshatras enables one to see them in their greater picture, like and eagle from above. It is so beautiful that (when started from Ashwini) the Nakshatra towards the "end" started from Shravana accelerate their speed of movement Chara, Chara, Chara, than being severe, like a deepening process, Ugra, fixating that with Dhruva and in Revati finally Mridu and that's it. Life. Also, amazing, Vic!: the dark and quiete setting of your surrounding together with this tranquilly soul-penetrating music, add to the very mysterious touch of the topic of Jotish. It is like carefully steping into the darkness with your light, Vic. Shani and Surya domain. Thank you for your memorable videos!

[@oneofakind2633]

This is quite an interesting video Thank you for the lesson

[@sumatisalian6716]

Forgot to mention why I thanked you. I was looking for this categorization of Nakshatras at various places

[@ahimsaalexander9004]

Thank you for sharing your wisdom with us. I’ve never heard it broken down as such, but was looking for information on how nakshatras relate to other nakshatras in a similar fashion of how planets relate to each other (such as Saturn and Venus being good friends, but Saturn and sun are not so much). This helps explain a great deal. I shall now go look at your other lessons as this is quite brilliant. Namaste

[@lisalarosa9454]

Thank you. Learned something new today.

[@AcamaGirl]

You're a great teacher! I like your videos a lot!

[@juggle_g7579]

Learned a ton, Thanks Vic. Asc in svati, mars in purnavasu and I went to school for dance, it all makes sense now.

[@fiorelaakciu3536]

I was wondering how i loved so much to dance, meanwhile having mars in cancer in debilition, but its actually in purnavasu nakshatra and it all makes sense

[@seerenita]

I thank you sir for this knowledge! 🙏🏼

Very nice video!!! You are charming and well studied with this Astrology stuff! You look like a combo of Tommy Lee and a younger Warren Beatty....true🙂

[@anniem1111]

Loved this Vic! Was wondering toward the end if I'd gotten distracted and missed my Nakshatra 😂 and then along came sparkly Krittika ✨️ My youngest son (19) is Revati, he's kind, generous, and loving, also very good at making coin (unlike his ma😂) Thank you as always 🙏 you are such a gjfted sage and we are blessed to have you ❤

[@khempokhrel3071]

Thank you vic..Excellent.:)

[@neelamjain1765]

Loved this video!! But I am nit sure, if I am really happy with the nakshatras in my birth chart... I have all the 4 Bitter nakshatras in my birth chart... Moon in Jyeshta, Saturn and Ketu in Ardra, Ascendant in Ashlesha and Rahu in Moola!!!

[@biancatransylva8606]

Excelent ! Thank you ! Now I understand better why Venus in Uttarashada , the ruler of my Moon nakshatra Bharani , always drives me into creating something of a lasting value , of permanency...so much so that my only motivation for doing anything towards material pursuits has to be dedicated to spiritual acomplishments .Otherwise I have little interest because nothing else is permanent in the material world.

[@adityajoshi8035]

swati nakshatra(moveable) soo truu i have my lagna lord venus in swati nak and i’m quite good with dancing and performing arts!

[@Missunlimitedabundace]

Im new to the nakshatras and just learnt my moon is in uttara phalguni pada 1 have not gone into depth with padas yet as i dont even know the other nakshatras Lol thanks vic for sharing your knowledge 💫

[@FunwithBobo]

Sir great video. Thank you 🙏🙏 Can you please give the album name of the background score. It's enchanting.

[@MarkBH70]

Great! A little complicated but I like it and that's what makes them good.

[@MarkBH70]

Thanks. Yes, moving into the Age of Aquarius. Aquarius isn't very flexible.

[@royanimesh5192]

I am mixed type with ascendant & moon in two mishra nakshatas

[@ud1235]

Hey vic, I hope you will someday do synergies between nakshatra video...in your uniquely jaw dropping way (color coded) of revealing secrets...:) once I settle down in my career, am contemplating to become your student 🤞

[@prachivideos]

You have an extremely charismatic personality Mr Vic. You are very magnetic.. is that your Venus, Rahu..

[@susansmart7727]

Uttarancha bhadrapada moon....drives me crazy regarding change. Always seeking the infinite, enduring..

[@nancydeutsch4751]

What about a Magha Moon and Krittika Moon....would they be compatible since Krittika isn't in one set group??

[@aliceyee6998]

Love this!

[@jasio1170]

On the Astro Bytes channel there is a video titled Nakshatra Ganas. The astrologer explains the movement patterns of each nakshatra. He explains that Shatabishakt moves upward. You've indicated a downward motion. Are these 2 patterns referring to the same aspect or quality of the nakshatra or are they different characteristics altogether? For example, he also says that Vishaka moves downward. Jyestha moves straight or forward, and so on for each nakshatra. Your teaching style is quite elegant and eloquent. This information feels essential to understanding the heart of Vedic astrology.

[@amalahealthcarecenter2578]

Could u give the name of the track that's getting played at the bg?

[@byssabyss]

This information is worth its weight in gold. Thank you! Just one thing though... I have a special connection to Varuna (my Venus is in Shatabhisha and my Moon is in Anuradha). I feel like it is unfair to Varuna to characterize him only as the god of downfall. Varuna was the original Narayana... and his downfall was only in the eyes of the people who decided that another god had supplanted him. Over time he became associated with the nighttime waters below the earth, but he was originally understood to be god of celestial oceans both above and below. And he remains as such, but is hidden. Hiddenness does imply something underneath, but it also implies being behind something. In my view Varuna remains as a hidden cosmic being, and if his movement is downward, in its purest form is about descending numinosity, not merely downfall.

[@bconni2]

very informative. thank you

[@ilcapitanoalexandr8698]

Hey Vic, thanks for your work. Genuinely I do appreciate all of it and naturally the songs or mantras. Could you please share where can I find this one? <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="25">00:25</a> Best regards

[@sumatisalian6716]

Thank you. Can you suggest any learning material for Sarvatobhadra Chakra ? Dr. Vijay Sachdeva has one in Hindi language. I feel SBC is a good supplement to analysis made in other streams like Parashara, Jaimini or Nadi.

[@sarutucigash]

What is the song playing in the background? it's so mystical and relaxing

[@satyanarayanjena6287]

Background sound love ❤️

[@will-rr1bw]

Since you follow the tropical zodiac, do you use that to determine the nakshatra or the vedic sidereal calculations for the nakshatra? If so how does that work since nakshatras are meant to be tied to the decans of the moon?

[@MCee_Savage]

you are goated my g thx you, certified hood classic

[@margaretvalentine5957]

Please tell me what you meant about Vishaka being “mixed” at the end of your video. You have a unique approach to the nakshatra informative videos! Thank you! Please keep going! Oh, do you have one video for each Nakshatra? I love the long long long videos where you can really tease out each nitty detail of each point about a Nakshatra. If you are not already doing that, would you consider it? And most importantly, thank you!!!🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸

[@PawanNogariya]

What was the music in the background? It was so soothing

[@pikaravi7592]

Thank you 😊

[@muraliraghavan8057]

interesting Video. I am not able to access your software.

[@krashkrow8042]

Can we consider the Nakshatras in which Uranus, Neptune and Pluto are sitting in for the calculation. -Thanks 😊

[@pennypcc]

Excellent!

[@Nimish03]

your video are like drugs totally addicted to it .... awesome knowledge, can you please make some more video on how to implement this nakshatra information to read birth chart, and how dasha and time event can be related to nakshatra..

[@rakshitharshwardhan5479]

Hi dear respected sir, could you please tell me which music you are playing in backside , it's very pleasant and relaxing..If you share music name much appreciated,your knowledge regarding astrology is unmatchable.thanks

[@crazay3983]

I have sattabisakha as my ascendent Does this mean I'm gonna have a downfall as soon as I reach my goals ?

[@GentlemanGhost1]

would love to know the name of the music... pls let me know? Would be neat to have a channel with all your vedic music :))

[@proyc95]

Very helpful :-) 🙏🌸

[@AnandVL]

Thank you for the knowledge these are very useful. 🙏 I have a question which is personal, me being from Revati which is mridu and a girl from Rohini a Dhruva-mridu, would our stars be marriage compatible? Kindly answer

[@machataegems6319]

Thanks for info!

[@MikeBaas]

Hi Vic! Wikipedia poinst to XVI of Brihat Jataka (Rikshasiladhyaya) as a chapter related to the Nakshatras, but when I looked, there's no "grouping" as you have it in that book. Is that grouping your own or is it in there somewhere?

[@michaelmcclure3383]

I'm learning more about nakshatras here than anywhere else. Its a really fascinating and overlooked area. My ascendant lord is Jupiter in the 8th in ashlesha. Does this mean I'm more defined by this Nakshatra? My old teacher gave a lot of importance to the ascendant lord. Or is it to the far lesser extent that moon uttara Bhadrapada, sun pusya and ascendant Uttara Ashada? Sadly i don't have much influence of sweet Nakshatras..only my SaturnR in Revati. How sweet can Saturn really be haha. My 7th lord lord mercury in the 7th in punavasu. Interestingly my wife was a dancer! In my spiritual life there was a long phase where everything impermanent was stripped away in a neti neti direction until there was a crisis leading to a complete dissolution of all phenomenal existence, it was terrifying at the time, but also blissful once it happened because it revealed the groundless ground which is the true permanence. The eternal, deathless being behind it all. Once that happened there has a shift to a more inclusive approach. Like the need to strip everything bace to the essential is satisfied or something. Its interesting considering what you say about Uttara Bhadrapada.

[@paradisebird7196]

Vic, if a person's ascendant is less than a degree from the next Nakshatra, do you consider the influence of the next Nakshatra for that ascendant?

[@dr.srividyanair1919]

vic...could u make video on ruthu jatakam

[@AS-cp1wt]

Great video. I feel like this combines temperament + quality (ex: cardinal, mutable, fixed) in a way. It's interesting how stuff is grouped too....Enduring with Sweet, Strong with Bitter and the like. I wonder if the more "mixed" nakshatras would relate better to the overall group than a more extreme Nakshatra (like Uttara Bhadrapedra and being "fixed" vs Uttara Phalguni which is more mixed between Enduring and Sweet).

[@Hari-kx2er]

'Mixed' nakshatras are similar to the 'strong ' ones, but more capable of being sweet if the situation demands it. Just my interpretation.

[@StevetheHunter560]

Wow, my ascendant, moon and AK are all in that last moveable group.

[@MattyDRx]

I wonder if Bharani could also be seen as part of the 'enduring' types?

[@annakh9543]

great!❤💙💚
