A nakshatra is a stretch of sky, not a star sign. There are twenty-seven of them, each with its own long-attested character, and the Moon moves through roughly one a day.

The brilliant star, fond of form and design. Make the thing look the way it should, not only work the way it should.

A Rikta tithi in the waning fortnight — the emptiest of the lunar days. The tradition clears on these and starts nothing.

Try this: do the thing you keep re-reading, before you re-read it again.
