Qualities of Purva Ashadha

Sage Pulaha

Married Daksha’s daughter Kshama and had three sons; Kardama, Kanakapeetha, Urvarivat; and a daughter Peevari. He had three more sons with his granddaughter, Gati: Karmasreshtta, Vareeyamsu, Sahishnu. He helped create the wildlife as well as many of the mythical beasts, including butterflies, lion, wolves and lambs. Since his children were so poorly behaved, he adopted Agastya’s son, Drdhasyu. He practiced intense devotion to Lord Shiva on the banks of the Alaknanda river (the source of the Ganges). He was involved with talking Sage Parashara out of killing all the Rakshasas. When King Bharata renounced his kingdom he went to Sage Pulaha’s ashram for refuge. He had knowledge of theatre and drama.

It’s said that one of his sons, Kardama, was granted two boons by Lord Vishnu: The first was that he got a good wife, and he soon married Devahuti. The second was to have a son who is an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, and Sage Kapila was soon born. His nine daughters all married great sages: Anasuya (wife of sage Atri), Arundhat (wife of sage Vasistha) & Khyati (wife of sage Bhrigu), Gati (2nd wife of sage Pulaha, according to Bhagavata Purana). After their householder duties were complete, Devahuti went to study with her son, Sage Kapila, from whom she learned Sankhya philosophy. Kapila is identified with Agni and is known to have reduced sixty thousand sons of King Sagara to ash with a glance. Kapila is usually shown with jatamukha (a crown of dreadlocks), a beard, and four arms (two in yoga holding a pitcher, one holding a shakha and another with a chakra). According to Siva Purana, a Sage named Kardama was born from Brahma’s shadow to be an aspirant, but this may be a different Karadama. The word, ‘kardama’ means: mud, muck, dirty, and is sometimes used to refer to sin. Adi Parva describes him as a virtuous serpent and the grandson of Viraja. It’s said that Kardama was so pleased with his wife that he gave her an airplane with which they travelled the world.

His adopted son, Drdhasyu, was a master of scripture from birth as he memorised them from his mothers womb. He learned stick combat and martial arts from Lord Murgan, and he was also known as Idhmavaha for his ability to carry huge loads of wood from the forest. ‘Idhma’ refers to tinder that is ready to be burned (the perfect student).

Male Monkey

Most monkeys are polygamous and the males don’t usually have much to do with raising their children. The biggest, strongest and most flamboyant males tend to get the mates. He must also ensure there are enough resources to support the women and children or the women will not mate with him. If a new male defeats a rival he will often dispose of any children which are not his own. Some monkeys have a sex gland on their chest and Herpes B can be fairly common in monkeys; this can be transmitted to humans from a bite or even a scratch.

Ashoka Tree

Similar to a Hawthorn; Sacred to Yakshas and the fairies. Saskatoon berries and mountain ash are also close western relatives. Both Hawthorn and Ashoka trees have medicinal properties for cholesterol and heart conditions which is a common condition for Purva Ashadha natives.

Widely known to promote heart health. Sagittarius is widely known to relate with blood pressure. Apas, the goddess of the waters, Venus the goddess of love and pleasure. In the Ashoka tree we find the Yakshas (just as we find the Fairies in the Hawthorne). The forest spirits and nymphs who live in the tree worshiped by old ladies seek out the Ashoka and Hawthorns for protection.

Special Considerations

• Pushkara amsha 21º Sagittarius(Libra Navamsha). Nourishing point. Moons transit brings auspicious and nourishing results. Good time to plan auspicious events.
• Brihat Samhita says that when Saturn transits Purva Ashadha, the people of Anga, Vanga, Kosala, Girivraja, Magadha, Pundra, the city of Mithila and the town of Tamralipti get trouble.

The beautiful life is exalted above and beyond moral or ethical life. They highly value wealth, music, beauty, art & sensual pleasures as the keys to life. They can be self destructive in their pleasure seeking, they will usually have nice, pleasant, stylishly religious attire. Image counts a lot for these people and they have to be careful a about being pretentious, fake, and putting too much stock in the image of things. Their dress for success mentality typically gives them a winning attitude and the conviction they can’t lose. They are often found in advisory positions of finance, art, design. They might have a specialty dealing with luxury products, religious art, dance, music, choreography. They are balance seekers and may work in global industries that allow them to mix with different cultures and religions; they might have a great appreciation for the international or global business.

Their fine style and early presentation can open a lot of doors for them especially in their early years, or in the beginning of projects; but having focused too much on the surface details, they might lack substance or loose steam when it comes to actually comes to showing what they are made of. There is still much to be said for their ability to inspire, they can be very cooperative when working with others and they are not likely to hold prejudice based on race or religion or anything like that. They usually believe in fairness and equity and they can be compassionate, humanistic and generous.

They often end up working with water or watery products some how. They do well in shipping, sailing, water sports of all kinds. They can also get involved in clean up projects related to water and waterways. Their refined taste can be involved in the drink business and this kind thing; but we might extend this sense of taste to any field. There is often something sensual, seductive, flowing and feminine about placements in Purva Ashadha.

We cannot gloss over the spiritual and religious implications of this nakshatra. Nothing touches these folks quite like an exquisite cathedral, or an ancient temple. They would like the song and dance of the Hari Krishna cult; all that Sufi twirling, Theresa d’Avila’s “Interior Castle,” the seductive side of tantra, the Buddhist mandala’s and all that kind of thing. Morning arti, singing in the choir, the right music for the morning drive, little things like this can make all the difference in the lives of the native.

The flowing nature of Purva Ashadha is expressed in unique ways: plastic, cast-iron, 3D printing; anything that liquifies and takes a mould. The Venus rulership of this allows for reproduction.

Influences on this nakshatra by aspect or placement of the planets as well as the condition of Venus and Jupiter, and of course the house placement will all have an effect on the functioning of this nakshatra. These folks like to be pleasant, pleasing and agreeable so any influence upon them will have a strong effect. Such is the sensitivity of water.

Health:
Thighs & Back of trunk

Purva Ashadha is rajasic, of the air element, pitta dosha, balanced, and female.  male monkey. By nature they are fierce and severe, and seeking moksha.

The watery nature of this nakshatra suggest it has strong relation with the blood, they lymphatic system and the hormones; the watery parts of the body. The goddess Keta from western philosophy rules of the creatures of the water which we can relate to the things that are carried in the blood stream and the tides of the body. The fierce, rajasic, pitta nature of this nakshatra, and the Auto-immune disorder of the same name suggests a strong connection to the part of the immune system that is controlled by the lymphatic system.

Needles, injections, vaccination, insulin dependent diabetics, herion addicts, several pleasure drugs or date rape drugs, acupuncturists, various serums.

Blood pressure, cholesterol, the elasticity of the circulatory system can all be affected for natives with placements here. Of course these afflictions end up having a negative effect not he heart like Myocarditis. Blood poisoning is also common. This may be due to drug or alcohol use, environmental exposure, or poor diet.

Since these folks can be over-sexed, STD’s are not uncommon, and if we consider the monkey connection, herpes is likely to be common, but due to the private nature of this disease it can be difficult to research. STD’s often go on to affect the bladder & kidneys.

There is some suggestion that lung problems or breathing problems may also arise from planets placed here. They might have some unique sensitivities (allergies). This nakshatra is very feminine, watery and emotional. Water is not hard, but it is heavy. It’s soft but it’s destructive.

Thighs (hips): Billy Idol has Mars in 8th house Purva Ashadha was in a major motor bike accident that completely mangled his leg. Oddly enough, while he was unconscious his mind became aware that this whole universe is LOVE. Jupiters aspect likely saved his life and his leg. From another perspective, sciatica can also result from afflictions,

APAS: an autoimmune disorder occurs when the body’s immune system makes abnormal antibodies that attack and damage tissues or cells. Antibodies help defend the body against infection, but in the case of APAS, the antibodies attack the body. As an autoimmune disorder, APAS occurs when the body makes antibodies that mistakenly attack phospholipids, a type of fat that’s found in the blood. This then causes blood clots to form in veins and arteries, which can lead to numerous problems and complications. 70% of people diagnosed with APAS are women. The effects can be quite severe: difficulty speaking, visual disturbance, head-aches, pulmonary embolism. Blood clots can lodge in a lung causing sudden shortness of breath, coughing up bloody mucous. Oddly enough, people with APAS are typically advised to avoid many of the most advised foods for healthy life: no avocado or garbanzo beans or other Vitamins K rich foods like leafy greens, broccoli, brussel sprouts, or cabbage for these folks. It seems like a strange cosmic joke that there would be an illness directly targeting the kind of diet that the Aphrodites of our world tend to follow; but here we have it.

On the other hand, it also seems fitting that they might have some unique sensitivities.  This nakshatra is very feminine, watery and emotional. Water is not hard, but it is heavy. It’s soft but it’s destructive.

Gods & Symbols of Purva Ashadha

Her main symbols are the dove, the anemone and myrtle flowers as well as roses. She also has strong association with the sea and is said to rule over much of the water-fowl such as ducks, geese and swans and she rides on a chariot pulled by sparrows. Other products of the sea are used in reference to her such as the sea generally, conch-shells, sea-shells, dolphins and mermaids. Apples and pomegranate also find expression through her as they were eaten by women for birth control. She has much in common with the Egyptian Goddess Ishtar, and some suspect her stories may relate with baptism in some way.

Many stories praise her feats and give e warning against over-looking her worship. The women of Lemnos once refused to offer sacrifice to her. Aphrodite took revenge by making them all smell so horribly that their husbands stopped having sex with them; they frolicked with their Thracian slave girls instead. This led to the women murdering their husbands and their slaves and all the other men of the island. It was after this that Jason and the Argonauts landed on the Island to find it full of sex-starved women, and, with Aphrodite’s approval they impregnated all the women and repopulated the island. Those ladies never again showed disrespect to Aphrodite.    

Another story (part of a play) has Aphrodite causing Phaedra to fall in love with her step-son. But Aphrodite knew Phaedra would be rejected. After the rejection she killed herself and left a suicide note to Theseus falsely claiming that Hippolytus tried to rape her. Theseus preys to Poseidon to kill Hippolytus, which Poseidon does by having a wild boar spook his horse which cause a chariot accident. The play concludes with Artemis vowing to kill Aphrodite’s own mortal beloved, Adonis, in revenge.

Another story has the wife of King Cinyras of Cyprus bragging that her daughter, Myrrha, was more beautiful than Aphrodite. Myrrha was then cursed with insatiable lust for her own father, King Cinyras who she tricks into having sex with her in a dark room. Myrrha was eventually transformed into the myrrh tree and gave birth to Adonis in this form. It might be noted that King Cinyras had three other daughters: Braesia, Laogora, and Orsedice. For reasons unknown a curse by Aphrodite influenced them to have sexual relations with foreigners and live out their lives in Egypt.

When Aphrodite was pregnant with Priapus, Zeus’ wife Hera sought revenge against the child (who she may have believed to belong to Zeus). She rubbed Aphrodite’s belly with an evil potion that would make the infant into a hideous creature. When Aphrodite gave birth, she was horrified to see that the child had a massive and permanently erect penis, a potbelly, and a huge tongue. She abandoned the child to die in the wilderness, but a herdsman found the boy and raised him as his own. It was later discovered that Priapus could use his massive penis to aid in the growth of plants.

In another story, The Sun God Helios saw Aphrodite and Ares having sex in Hephaestus’s bed and warned Hephaestus, who fashioned a net of gold. The next time Ares and Aphrodite had sex together, the net trapped them both. Hephaestus brought all the gods into the bedchamber to laugh at the captured adulterers, but Apollo, Hermes, and Poseidon had sympathy for Ares and Poseidon agreed to pay Hephaestus for Ares’s release. Humiliated, Aphrodite returned to Cyprus, where she was attended by the Charities. Much later in the history of mythology, this story has Ares putting the young soldier Alectryon by their door to watch for Helios because he knew Helios would snitch, but Alectryon fell asleep on duty, Helios discovered the two lovers and alerted Hephaestus. Ares turned Alectryon into a rooster which always crows at dawn. Although there is no specific mention of it, the mythological history seems to be rewritten after this little affair: Aphrodite & Hephaestus are both written as being with different consorts as if they were never married. In later works, he is married to one of the Graces and she is married to, or at least the official consort of Ares. There is a famous vase (the François Vase for history buffs) with the the later two arriving at the wedding of Peleus & Thetis on the same chariot as Zeus & Hera and Poseidon & Amphitrite.

Hand-Fan 

Produces wind. Cooling in the heat. Also used as a protective veil to hide the face; like a face masks. A fan is also used to fan the flames and inject oxygen into the fire to make it burn even hotter. Decorative fan’s were also used to separate people into various classes depending on how ornate the fan was. These days, hand fans are popular as a prop with c cross dresses and transvestites.

Winnowing Basket

Used to separate the wheat from the chaff. In more traditional societies these winnowing baskets still get used on a regular basis to remove stones from the rice and dhal. There are may metaphors about shedding their outer layer, removing the shell, getting away from the protective shelter of the home.

If we consider this nakshatra in light of covid, we get face masks (the hand fan), the serum (apas) and the effect of separating people based on these things as governments sought to enforce ideological purity separating the complaint from the non-compliant (the winnowing basket).

Stars of Purva Ashadha

Sagittarii: Epsilon (Kaus Australis), Delta (Kaus Media), (Kaus Borealis)

The Lyre of Orpheus: Made by Hermes from a tortuous shell and given to Apollo. Orpheus could charm anything with his music, he used it to charm the Sirens to avoid crashing into the rocks when he was travelling with Jason and the Argonaughts. He used it to charm Hades so that he could retrieve his beloved from hell, but it was on the condition he didn’t ever look back until they were out. He looked back and lost her forever. This is a bit of a parable about how independent women want a man who will trust that she is following him; she doesn’t want him watching her. Any sign that he has lost faith will be enough to make her go away. To became a celibate but continued travelling around playing music. Of course many women wanted to marry him , but due to his refusal to marry, bands of women tore him apart while they were intoxicated by Dionysus.

This nakshatra is also known as King David’s Harp, King Arthur’s Harp, the manger of the infant saviour.

Ascendant in Purva Ashadha Pada 1, Leo Navamsha:
(Jupiter + Venus + Sun) Truth, justice, fairness. Bepin Behari suggests that these natives might loose their mother early in life (mothers longevity is decreased. I would expect certain amount of theatrical self-righteousness. Strong, active fit. Great dancers with high confidence.

Ascendant in Purva Ashadha Pada 2, Virgo Navamsha:
(Jupiter + Venus + Mercury): A bit of warrior mentality comes into these people. They may use ideology and progressive policies to fix things. More of an army officer than one of the guys in the trenches.

Ascendant in Purva Ashadha Pada 3, Libra Navamsha:
(Jupiter + Venus + Venus) “You may affect the uncle’s (mother’s brother) health and longevity. Danger to maternal uncle.

You will have ample money till the 40th year. thereafter, several unexpected expenses will take away a major part of your wealth.

[Many charts have not been confirmed so ascendant and even moon nakshatras may not be correct. There may be inconsistencies regarding the house placement of the planets as well. Use your own judgement. A healthy dose of scepticism should be applied to astrological data generally.]

Sun in Purva Ashadha

Most of these natives have exceptional intelligence. Some of the greatest minds of several generations have this Sun placement. Spiritual gurus and university professors are common.  Father is likely to be an orthodox religious man.

Bepin Behari: Sun in Sagittarius: allows a person to draw upon their experience from the past which allows them to easily listen to the voice of their conscience. They will have an innate understanding that this voice has a strength and rationale which must be listened too and respected.

Celebrities with Sun in Purva Ashadha

Sun in Purva Ashadha Pada 1, Leo Navamsha:
Sun in own navamsha. Celebrities who bring two things together. Some unique musician doing Rockabilly, or Punk Poet Laureate

Sun in Purva Ashadha Pada 2, Virgo Navamsha: Contrarian ideology. Their beliefs tend to be decisive. Good position for making and facing enemies. Interesting that I only have two women with Sun in this Pada and they are two of the most controversial women in history: Catherine of Aragon, whose divorce from Henry VIII caused a schism in the church, by no fault of her own. And Greta Thunberg, the most appalled and angry of young climate activists. There seems to be trouble from marriage, some tendency for addiction at some point in their lives, though they may also be born again.

Sun in Purva Ashadha Pada 3, Libra Navamsha:
Sun in debilitated navamsha. We find several spiritual powerhouses with this Sun. Libra is balance, union, yoga. They tend towards a balanced and inclusive belief system, yogis.

Sun in Purva Ashadha Pada 4, Scorpio Navamsha: Many of these natives excel in the scientific research as they blend faith and science.

Mars in Purva Ashadha

They can be very competitive for knowledge and the search for truth. They often think that they are the one with the truth. They tend to think they are invincible, especially after some early successes. Influences from other planets would have a strong effect on their education. Additional malefic influence might lead them to more technical fields, while benefics is more likely to lead them health, wellness, coaching. They seek to use knowledge and wisdom to defeat others. They think they are pretty smart, but Mars doesn’t think, he just takes action.

Since this nakshatra is ruled any Apas, goddess of primordial waters, there can be problems from alcohol consumption. And since this nakshatra relates with Aphrodite women with this Mars can easily weaponise the female form. Even in the Iraq war we find a weaponisation of women rights (which is theme of Purva Ashadha.)

Mars rules the brothers and boy friends in a woman life (the men who are more or less equal to her) she will be attracted to pretty boys, handsome, intellectual, broad minded and liberal; most often too liberal. It’s likely these folks have brothers who are spiritual, stylish and well travelled. The might enter competitive fields of higher studies: athletics, business, art or design.

Since Mars is our activities, Purva Ashadha becomes the main field of activity. They tend to move with a nice flow like water. They might like to learn and teach though direct experience and they can be somewhat aggressive competitive teachers. They might even find themselves in competition with their own students. Although there is a side to them that might seem open-minded and liberal, they only espouse these virtues for their own gain. It’s possibly that they have some military training, shooting and marksmanship, and perhaps even horseback riding, which, in modern times may be a bicycle. Since they are more than capable of “handling themselves” they can be quite adventurous. They can be good strategists in sports, military, policing.

They tend to ideology and emotion and will not change their views even in the face of evidence for the contrary.

Pada

Mars in Purva Ashadha Pada 1, Leo Navamsha: They like to show off in how smart they are. They will weaponise what they see as the truth. They are not nearly as smart as they think they are. I’m sure those of you with this placement are already ready to argue with me. Don’t bother, you’ll only prove my point.

Mars in Purva Ashadha Pada 2, Virgo Navamsha: They are all pretty shameless. They have no qualms about taking advantage of someone when they’re down.

Mars in Purva Ashadha Pada 3, Libra Navamsha:

Mars in Purva Ashadha Pada 4, Scorpio Navamsha: Mars in own navamsha.

Mercury in Purva Ashadha

Knowledge of spiritual art & music. Excellent for music, singing, spiritual bhajan. They communicate in a very artistic way. They do well in media and can create beautiful ideological or religious messages with nice style. They are usually well spoken and they can make good speakers. It seems women with this position tend to be lesbian or at least bi-sexual and were most likely sexually active as adolescents. There is a slight whiff of teenage postitution all around this position of Mercury, but perhaps it’s just a general openness and possibly even message of alternative sexuality. Mercury can swing both ways.

Pada

Mercury in Purva Ashadha Pada 1, Leo Navamsha: Confident communications, confident speakers, intelligent. Many are in the spiritual business, mystics, tarot. Several of them seem to be running some kind of secret organisation or even sex cult like Osho, Edgar Hoover, or Ghislaine Maxwell. They are somehow immature about the pleasures of sex. Maybe they themselves were into prostitution when they were young leading to an immature view of sex and prostitution. They might be story tellers, or word in the sensual side of media.   

Mercury in Purva Ashadha Pada 2, Virgo Navamsha: Mercury is in own navamsha. High level of logic and reasoning ability seems to be quite good for astrology, astrology. They have good foresight and ability to see and plan ahead.

Mercury in Purva Ashadha Pada 3, Libra Navamsha: This pada seems to have some magic of acting, putting on a little song and dance with heavy weight from 3 generations Robert Duvall, Paul Newman, Brad Pitt. Allan Watt’s perhaps described himself well when he called himself a philosophy entertainer.

Venus in Purva Ashadha

They love ceremony and will have good knowledge of music, dance, the arts, luxury and sensual pleasure. They can be in the fashion, beauty business, as well as yoga and wellness. They are typically do well in business or when dealing with financial matters. They usually have a pretty strong materialists side to them and will often take on a kind of sensual spiritual style. Erotic dancers can be found here, but also shakti dancers Bhakti yogis and folks associated with Kamakhya Devi of Assam. They like spiritual religious style and art, beautiful alters and this kind of thing. They try to put a price on higher knowledge or wisdom. They tend to believe in equity and fairness in an extreme way, the image is often more important to them then substance or true merit. This makes in hard for them to connect with the deeper, inner spiritual truths and relationships can suffer because they may do not value or appreciate one person more than the others. They are very equitable.

They typically have a love for water and the watery emotional side of life.

The women, sister, wife, and/or girlfriends in a persons life are likely to be spiritual, creative, intelligent, worldly with the beauty of an apsara. They may be involved with spirituality and wellness topics. Women with this Venus will express their own femininity in this way as well as having such women in their life. They might work

Pada

Venus in Purva Ashadha Pada 2, Virgo Navamsha: Venus is in debilitated navamsha. Rampant sexualization of the opposite sex, although it may seem to exalt women, only turns them into objects. They become addicted to sex and sensual life style.
