Ardra is the brightest star in the Orion constellation. It is also known as the Star of Sorrow and the Star of Oppression. Symbolized by teardrop, Ardra natives are tested intensely, and their life lessons are hard-learned.
Their hardships hold testimony to their success, which comes during later stages of life. The presiding deity – Rudra and the ruling planet – Rahu brings confusion and chaos to the lives of people born under the star.
