Ardra means moist.
The symbol of Ardra is a teardrop. Ardra is ruled by Rahu, the North Node, which shows you seek to harness subconscious forces and hidden powers. You will be oriented toward achievement, action, self-negation, and self-sacrifice.
Mythologically, Rudra, the storm god, prevails here. The elemental gods conspired to make Lord Rudra in order to stop Prajapati, the creator, from trying to mate with his daughter, Rohini. The lesser gods were not strong enough to defeat Prajapati themselves; thus their most menacing qualities, including their weapons, were assembled to create Rudra. He was one powerful character! Rudra fulfilled his mission and stopped Prajapati from the shameful union with his daughter, thereby protecting integrity and honor of his daughter. Yet the lesser gods, and Lord Rudra, lacked understanding. Prajapati sought union with his daughter in order to create perfect, divine beings, not satisfy desires or bring disgrace.
Strengths: You will act powerfully in defense of a just cause. There will be a protective quality to your actions. There will be high ambitions and desire to expand. You possess a keen ability to anticipate societal trends, making you good at marketing and planning for the future. You will have a fierce and stormy side to you, an obsessive and tempestuous psychology. Much like a cyclone, this is necessary to destroy and regenerate your life; much spiritual potential is hidden in these moments.
Shadow issues: You must be careful with abuse of power and having the means justify the ends when fighting for a just cause. You may appear ungrateful, haughty, and excessively willful when pursuing your goals. At times, you may lack the vision necessary to see the bigger picture, especially in defense of the righteous. You must align your destructive nature with the right cause - destroying darkness and ignorance, rather than destroying the positive things in your life.
hmmm...thought provoking...but I'm sleep deprived and staying up too late.
