This is the only nakshatra who do not believe in revenging even their bitterest enemies....they say it loud (revenging) but would not follow through.They would leave it to God to sort them out. In a way, its a Godly nakshatra. Forget about being a policeman if you are born under this nakshatra. Your thieves would be blessed to high heavens if you are a policeman...haha
