Nakshatra #6 | 66.7-80.0 | Gemini | Water | Tamas
Ardra is the 6th lunar mansion, governed by Rudra (Storm God/Shiva) and ruled by Rahu. This water nakshatra targets the Eyes, back and front of head through its shakti of yatna shakti (power of effort). The following sequence channels that energy into a complete practice -- asanas, breath, mantra, and meditation.
Shakti: Yatna Shakti (power of effort)
Basis Above
hunting or searching

8 poses targeting the Eyes, back and front of head through water energy.
Parivritta Vinyasa
From downward dog, step right foot forward into a lunge. Twist, placing left hand outside right foot, right arm up. Return to downward dog. Repeat other side. Flow rhythmically.
The storm-like intensity of this dynamic twist matches Rudra's transformative, cathartic energy.
Simhasana
Kneel, hands on knees. Inhale deeply. On exhale, open mouth wide, extend tongue toward chin, widen eyes, and exhale forcefully with a "HAAA" sound. Repeat 5-8 times.
Releases tension from the eyes and face (Ardra's body region) with the primal force of Rudra's roar.
Parivrtta Utkatasana
Stand in chair pose, bring hands to prayer. Twist, hooking lower elbow outside opposite knee. Keep knees aligned, chest open.
The wringing, storm-like action matches Ardra's Yatna Shakti (power of effort) and Rudra's transformative intensity.

Upgrade to unlockThis sequence is most potent when the Moon transits Ardra nakshatra (66.7-80.0 in Gemini). The Moon spends approximately one day in each nakshatra, cycling through all 27 every lunar month. Practice during Rahu's hora (planetary hour) on any day to invoke Ardra's energy outside of its direct transit. Check the daily panchang for current Moon nakshatra position.
This preview shows the foundational poses. The full Ardra sequence includes all 8 asanas, complete pranayama, deity mantras, guided meditation, and dietary alignment -- calibrated to Rudra (Storm God/Shiva)'s shakti.
