Being based in India, I have a keen interest in Vedic astrology and I am currently a professional astrology practitioner. Snakes (serpents) are mystical creatures that have a very healing property and they are also associated with secretive activities or secret wealth. With my Rahu placement in Ashlesha, I have had very intense experiences with respect to the social connections that I have attracted in my life and my experiences have been life-changing. There is some level of toxicity or venom associated with Ashlesha nakshatra, which have manifested very intensely and often, traumatized me as well as people around me. From my early teenage years, I have been obsessed with snakes, serpents and dragons and made numerous drawings of the same. The drawing "Serpentine feminine" and "Snake baby" also refer to the relationship I share with my mother as my Rahu is placed in Cancer sign in Ashlesha star, Cancer being the sign of the divine mother and we both carrying the energy of the divine feminine, yet being toxic or manipulative to each other in some way, and still being protective about each other.
