Nakshatra 25 of 27
Purva Bhadrapada
Purva Bhadrapada burns for an ideal. It is intense and visionary, and it can swing between two very different sides of itself.
A nakshatra is one of the 27 lunar mansions of Vedic astrology. Yours is the one the Moon stood in when you were born, measured in the sidereal zodiac. Purva Bhadrapada spans 20°00′ Aquarius to 3°20′ Pisces.
Its ruler, Jupiter, also opens the first of your life chapters (the Vimshottari dasha) if your Moon sits here.
Each nakshatra splits into four padas of 3°20′, 108 in all. Each pada falls in a navamsa sign, so the same mansion can lean four slightly different ways.
