Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra
Intense idealists — they burn for causes and see further than comfort allows. Purva Bhadrapada is the 25th of the 27 nakshatras, ruled by Jupiter, with Aja Ekapada as its deity and two-faced man / sword as its symbol.
The four padas
| Pada | Moon sign | Navamsa | Naming syllable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Purva Bhadrapada pada 1 | Kumbha (Aquarius) | Mesha | Se |
| Purva Bhadrapada pada 2 | Kumbha (Aquarius) | Vrishabha | So |
| Purva Bhadrapada pada 3 | Kumbha (Aquarius) | Mithuna | Da |
| Purva Bhadrapada pada 4 | Meena (Pisces) | Karka | Di |
Purva Bhadrapada straddles two moon signs, so the pada — which needs the birth time — decides the rashi. Each pada is also one navamsa, the ninth-division sign astrologers read for marriage.
