Purvapadrapada Nakshatra

Who is Purva Bhadrapada?

You are here to transform the mundane darkness into the celestial light. As one of the symbols, a two-faced man suggests, there is always a fight between the demon and angel hidden underneath your smile. Not only do you understand the turmoil within yourself, you also understand the darkness of humanity, while functioning in the world just like everyone else. You strive to show people the imperfections and extremes of our existence and the transformation that comes from recognizing them. You are very philosophical, independent, opinionated and able to express your thoughts in an eloquent manner. This makes you a great preacher and a revolutionary, who creates changes in society and raises people’s awareness. On the other hand, you are the best secret agent, who is extremely skilled at researching and working under the surface. You wrap your calculative mind and daring nature in very amicable mannerisms and work your way up subtly and secretly toward your target. Just like the deity, Aja Ekapada, the goat form of Lord Shiva, suggests, you are able to sublimate the unwanted aspects in yourself through artistic expression or spiritual discipline. Your motto is “Destroy, destroy, destroy and what is left is the answer!” You are also very interested in the world beyond, and always looking for a spiritual path. You are faithful to those whom you admire and respect, and you have the ability to give everything to them without any doubt or hesitation. Purva Bhadrapada is ruled by Jupiter and lies in Aquarius and Pisces, ruled by Saturn and Jupiter. You need to be careful not to indulge yourself in restrictive and destructive thoughts. You could be a criminal mastermind if you don’t discriminate. You could impulsively harm yourself or someone around you if you stop releasing the fire within in a positive manner. Remember, sex, drugs and alcohol are only temporary relief. Distill the darkness, express it in higher forms, and rock this world with your passion!
