This is the second Nakshatra of zodiac, ranging from 13°20' to 26°40'. The planet of art and beauty, Shukra (Venus), rules this Nakshatra. People born in this Nakshatra are generally harmless creatures. This is in stark contrast to Ashwini and Krittika natives, who are aggressive to the core. Bharani born are honest. They are frank in their opinions and do not want to modify their opinions to please others. They like to work by principles, because of which they have to face some difficulties in life.

Bharani born have a medium build and scanty hair, with a large forehead. Just like an ox, these people have a head that is broad at the temples and narrow at the chin.

Since changing the mindset is something really against their nature, they do not pay much attention to views and opinions contrary to their own. But the same steady mind and fixed views enables them to get to the core of any problem.

They like to achieve supremacy of any group and be the leader. They have to face many hurdles in their path and often face failure. Because it is in their nature to try to have their own way, they stand to loose the support of their followers and well wishers.

An interesting feature of those born in Bharani is that they are quiet fond of spreading rumors. This is especially true when Buddha (Mercury) is aspected by Shani (Saturn).

Their all round knowledge enables them to work in nearly any field. Arts, entertainment and ways and means of enjoying material pleasure give them their fixed stream of income. Surgery, especially plastic surgery is also a good career option.

These people are normally happy in their marital relations. Their life partners take good care of household duties. These people love their families and do not like to live away from their families. These people are prone to suffer from diabetes and teeth problems.

Females born in this Nakshatra are career minded. But they are seldom found occupying senior positions. In house, they act more like a leader of a group, rather than an ordinary family member. Because of their overconfident nature, these females tend to respect and obey only those people who are really superior to them.
