Ardra is the Nakshatra that tests the limits of society. Swati is the softest Rahu influence that displays politeness and social etiquette. Whereas, Shatabhisha enforces societal limits.
Shatabhisha is known as The Veiling Star. Meaning that it covers, hides, or protects the entire world.
The symbol is an empty circle. Representing groups, societies, subcultures, secrecy, isolation, restriction, and limitations.
Even the deity is Varuna. Varuna is the god of the cosmic ocean. Representing the water that covers and sets the boundaries of the world. Both on a cosmic and earthly level.
So, Shatabhisha is about providing justice and fairness to the entire world. This is a Nakshatra that supports the well-being of others and punishes injustice. It maintains the order of the world.
