Personality & Character

Ashlesha is the nakshatra of the Nagas — the serpent beings who guard the secrets of the deep earth and water. Natives born here possess hypnotic presence, penetrating intuition, and access to hidden knowledge. They are the analysts, the therapists, the researchers who go deeper than anyone else dares. Like a serpent, they shed their skin completely to be reborn.
