The Nakshatras

Purva Ashadha

Nakshatra 20 · ruled by Venus · the Waters (Apas)

The twentieth mansion, a winnowing fan blessed by the invincible Waters — early triumph.

Purva Ashadha is invigorating confidence: the conviction that carries a cause and lifts others with it. Its optimism is a real force, and its work is to pair belief with the patience to see it through.
