Purva bhadrapada
Also called: purva bhadrapada nakshatra
Purva Bhadrapada, the 25th of the 27 nakshatras (lunar mansions), running from 20°00' Kumbha (Aquarius) to 3°20' Meena (Pisces) in the sidereal zodiac. Its symbol is the two-faced man. Its presiding deity is Aja Ekapada, the one-footed fiery serpent, bringing intense idealism and vision. Its ruling planet is Jupiter, so someone born with the Moon here begins life in Jupiter's dasha (planetary period). Its themes are intensity, idealism, transformation. Classically it is a fierce (ugra) nakshatra, for demolition and confrontation; the texts advise against beginnings under it.
