Purva Bhadrapada

Purva Bhadrapada is the 25th of the twenty-seven nakshatras (lunar mansions), spanning 20°00′ Aquarius–3°20′ Pisces of the sidereal zodiac.

Its ruling graha is Guru (Jupiter), its presiding deity Aja Ekapada (the one-footed goat, a fiery form), and its symbol the front of a funeral cot or a two-faced man.

Purva Bhadrapada is intensity turned toward the absolute — idealism, fervour, and a willingness to burn for a cause. Under Jupiter and its fiery deity, it gives passion, vision, and a double-edged nature that sees both worlds. A mansion of zeal and transformation.
