About Shatabhisha
Shatabhisha means "100 physicians" — this is the nakshatra of healing, cosmic law, and the deep understanding of what is hidden. Presided over by Varuna, the god of cosmic order and the keeper of oaths, and ruled by Rahu, Shatabhisha carries the energy of the healer who works at the level of root causes rather than symptoms. Those born here often feel called toward work that involves uncovering what is hidden — in science, medicine, mysticism, or psychology.

“I heal what is hidden. My solitude is the source of my depth, not the evidence of my separation.”
