bharani or "the bearer" is symbolized by the yoni, or the cosmic/divine vulva which generates and brings forth life.

from a culture that heavily emphasizes reincarnation, the birth canal acts in a way as the gateway between life and death, as the soul which has passed from one life is now being reanimated & reembodied in birth.

this point is emphasized as the ruling deity of bharani is yama, the god of death. as the god of death, yama as a psychopomp is responsible for taking the soul to their next destination. this point also makes for a good argument for bharani being the last nakshatra.

bharani is said to be very strong and fierce in nature...it takes a serious amount of strength to go through the birthing process and similarly in moving through the life, there is a degree of persistence to continuously generate the means to accomplish their ends.

the fixed stars that comprise of bharani are the cluster of stars that comprise & are above the body of aries. these stars being in aries are described to be martial in nature with stars like botein near the tail of the nature of venus which coincides with rulership.
