The Nakshatras

Purva Bhadrapada

Nakshatra 25 · ruled by Jupiter · Aja Ekapada

The twenty-fifth mansion, a sword under the one-footed fire-being Aja Ekapada — burning idealism.

Purva Bhadrapada is intensity aimed at a higher purpose: passionate, principled, and willing to be transformed. Its fire can purify or scorch, and its work is to temper conviction with compassion.
