What a Anuradha Moon-day is like
Anuradha is a deva nakshatra — in panchang terms an auspicious, light day, classically favoured for beginnings, travel, ceremonies, and anything you want to start on a harmonious note. Its temperament runs to friendship, devotion, cooperation, under the rulership of Saturn.
