Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra

Purva Bhadrapada is the twenty-fifth Nakshatra, bridging Aquarius (Kumbha) and Pisces (Meena). Spanning from 20°00' Aquarius to 3°20' Pisces, it is ruled by Jupiter (Guru) and embodies the energy of purification through sacrifice and extreme intensity.

Symbolism and Meaning

The symbols are the Front Legs of a Funeral Cot or a Two-Faced Man. The funeral cot signifies the transition and the process of "dying" to the old self to be reborn. The two-faced man represents human duality—the struggle between the material and the spiritual. 'Purva Bhadrapada' means "the early beautiful step."

Ruling Deity: Aja Ekapada (The One-Footed Goat)

The presiding deity is Aja Ekapada, an ancient form of Lord Shiva. He represents the "unborn" foundation of the universe. This connection gives natives a unique, often eccentric, but deeply powerful spiritual foundation. They have the intensity to undergo significant internal "storms" for growth.
