It corresponds to the line of stars formed by β, δ, π and ρ Scorpii in the constellation Scorpius, which also form the Chinese lunar mansion Fang (Room).[1]
In astrology, Anuradha is ruled by Shani (Saturn).[2][3] Mitra is the deity for Anuradha Nakshatra. Anuradha is a fragile nakshatra with the shakti power of granting abundance. Anuradha rules the breasts, stomach, womb and bowels.[4]
