Ashadha Su-Ati

The Ghandarans have readily accepted the pantheons of other peoples. Their gods are found in the forces of nature. Like the Cetoilais, Ghandarans look to the starry sky for guidance. The constellations hold significance to the Ghandarans, representing imbalances in nature, the rise and fall of elements, of life and death, of history and culture. Among them is Ashadha Su-Ati, a bipartite constellation that represents wind and water. These are the elements of life in classical Ghandaran belief, representing change and nurture.

Representing water and wind, the constellation Ashadha Su-Ati is tied to compassion, growth, nurture, incipient chaos, and both hardship and succor. Four stars comprise the constellation, making a rough curve shape. The outermost stars of the constellation represent wind, and the inner pair the water gathered by the wind's force. The constellation is rendered as intertwined elephant tusks in iconography, tinctured with pale blue and green. Like the elements associated with this constellation, the elephant is associated with life and growth. Those who are born beneath this sign are considered destined for lives of compassion or chaos, and have a lifespan that is conspicuously long or conspicuously short.
The constellation is considered by some new-age astrologers to represent Dhanush, the bow of Sarva, the Ghandaran deity of fear, storms, strength and healing. According to these astrologers, those born beneath the sign will become mighty warriors or famed healers. Some scholars have recognised that the destiny of children born beneath the elephant tusks is similar to those born beneath the bow. The implications of an instrument of war as opposed to an elephant's tusk have been attributed to the revival of militant Ghandaran imperialism.
