Reading Bharani
Bharani — presided by Yama, symbol "Yoni", ruled by Venus. The temperament is a manushya (human) temperament — balanced, ambitious and pragmatic with a Pitta (fiery) constitution — driven, sharp and decisive, and a dignified and strong instinct (Elephant yoni). The Venus lordship lends love, beauty, relationships, comforts, art and refinement. Energies here favour forceful works (confrontation, decisive action).
