Ashlesha Nakshatra Characteristics, Karka rashi, four padas as per Indian Vedic Astrology

Ashlesha Nakshatra is ruled by Mercury and its deity is the Serpent or Shesh- Naag. Its symbol is like a circle or coiled snake. Ashlesha born natives have penetrating eyes, sharp insight, strong intuition, cunningness and secretive nature. Like serpents, they can cling around with an idea; or person exhibiting false intense love and affection. They have very strong sense of attachment with opposite sex and can go to any extent to meet their objectives. If required, they can use their poisonous cunning intellect to defeat their enemies. They have stout body and slightly pale complexion and hot temperament. They are over sensitive to external environment and do not trust people easily. They will always have something or the other to doubt everybody; and even their close friends and relatives are not excused. They are so suspicious in nature that they can hire detective to keep eye on their spouse. They appear humorous initially but actually they are cold blooded and ruthless. They have inherent quality of leadership and eagerness to grow very fast. They can manipulate any situation to climb the ladder of success. It’s very difficult to stop and compete with Ashlesha natives. They can sense the forthcoming problem quite early and will be well prepared even before the problem arises. Ashlesha as you know combines Moon + Mercury. This combination itself is clear indicative of the individual profile. This is one of the most mean and selfish Nakshatra of the zodiac and we should not expect any kind of emotional relationship from them. Although Ashlesha natives generally victimize others but if natural benefic planets are placed in this Nakshatra, they themselves are victimized by others.
