Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra · Lord Jupiter · Aquarius and Pisces · Astrovene
Purva Bhadrapada crosses from Aquarius into Pisces, from three hundred and twenty degrees to three hundred and thirty-three degrees twenty minutes. Jupiter lords it and Aja Ekapada presides. Its symbols are a two-faced man and the front legs of a cot.
Aja Ekapada's name describes something standing on a single foot, and the image attached to him is a column rising upward. Jupiter as lord gives that rise a direction and a discipline. The tradition reads the nakshatra as intensity pointed somewhere rather than intensity for its own sake, which is what keeps the two associations from cancelling.
The two faces are not duplicity. They are the gap between what is shown and what is kept back, which every closely held conviction has. The front legs of a cot say it structurally: this is the leading half of a pair, and the trailing half belongs to the nakshatra that follows. Asceticism and thought that outruns its company are the associations.
Three padas fall in Aquarius and the fourth in Pisces, with the navamsa moving through Aries, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer. Because the rasi change and the navamsa change land on the same quarter, the fourth pada reads distinctly against the first three. It also places the nakshatra in Pisces, the sign its own lord owns.
Jupiter's share of the hundred and twenty Vimshottari years is sixteen. A Purva Bhadrapada birth begins inside a Jupiter mahadasha and moves from there into Saturn's nineteen, so the first two periods of the cycle are both long ones. That is a description of the sequence, not of a person.
Purva Bhadrapada belongs to the manushya gana. Its lord, deity and gana are the same wherever the subject is taught. The lion yoni, the bird and the tree vary between schools and appear here as attributions.
