ARE YOU BORN IN AAYILIUEM / ASHLESHA'S NAKSHATRA? (Star 9)

AAYILIUEM is represented in the night sky by a ring of stars in the constellation of HYDRA, known in modern astronomy as Epsilon-Hydrae, Delta-Hydrae, Mu-Hydrae, Rho-Hydrae, Sigma-Hydrae & Zeta- Hydrae. The brightest among them, i.e. Zeta-Hydrae has a visual magnitude of 3.12.

AAYILIUEM is a term normally associated with SERPENT imagery and can be translated as "COILING", "CLINGING", "EMBRACING" or 'ENTWINING". The name is probably derived from the serpent king/god "SHESHA". 

A "coiled snake" is the main symbol of this star. Most cultures see snakes as secretive, creepy, wily, cold-blooded, deceptive, insincere, hypnotic and poisonous creatures.  On the positive side, serpents are seen as semi-devine creatures with access to other worlds.  They are supposed to have great powers of insight, intuition, perception, wisdom, cunning, concentration, and sexuality.

In vedic mythology, NAGAS (half serpent/half-human creatures) and other types of serpent-beings abound throughout all the 14 (fourteen) LOKAS (realms of existence).  In some of the legends, these beings are supposed to reside on the earthly plane as well under lakes, rivers or ocean beds. 

Mystery, being one of the basic attributes of Aayiliuem; it is no wonder that all these beings are shrouded by mystery.

Aayiliuem is perhaps the most difficult of all nakshatra energies to handle and channel correctly, especially in the present day and age.  Even the ancient sages and scholars had very few kind words to say in relation to this nakshatra. It has its occult and esotoric significance.

In the universal scheme of things, Aayiliuem relates 'VISASLESHANA SHAKTI" - the power to inflict POISON. 

According to Varahamihira, those  born in Aayiliuem can be crafty, ungrateful & glutton.

This nakshatra is related to the SAGE VASHISHTA, one of the seven celestial sages looking after the affairs of our galaxy. The name of this sage translates into "possesor of wealth".  According to ancient Vedic mythology most of the celestial serpent deities are said to guard treasure and are shown as being enormously wealthy.  Thus it is appropriate that the sage who has most to do with wealth presides over this nakshatra.

It is a FEMALE nakshatra & a KAPHA (watery) nakshatra. It is considered a RAKSHASHA or demonic nakshatra.

Bone-joints like ELBOWS, KNEE CAPS, THE NAILS & EARS are the body parts related to this nakshatra.

Its DIRECTION covers the NORTH-WEST to the NORTH.
