Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra: Meaning
Purva Bhadrapada, the twenty-fifth nakshatra, is ruled by the one-footed goat Aja Ekapad; its dasha belongs to Guru and lasts 16 years.
Aja Ekapad, the goat with a single foot: the ruler of Purva Bhadrapada is one of the most obscure figures of the archaic pantheon. The name of the asterism also evokes a foot, built from the words for beautiful, happy and foot. It was once called Proshthapada.
It is the first half of a pair. The two Bhadrapadas share the four stars of the Square of Pegasus between them, two each. As for the image, you can see a bed or a two-faced figure, evoking twins. You can give the bed to the pair and the double figure to each half. Having two faces is not being deceitful.
The twenty-fifth nakshatra, it begins at 20 degrees of Kumbha and ends at 3°20 of Meena, with three quarters in the first sign and the last in the second.
Guru leads its dasha, which lasts 16 years.
Your Moon in Purva Bhadrapada
Handing your goods over to your partner is the most singular trait of the Moon in Purva Bhadrapada. Tied to it is precise, articulate speech, which is also read as "gifted at earning money". It further notes a leaning toward keeping rather than giving, as well as a share of sorrow to endure. These last two traits are inclinations, nothing is predicted.
Think of the couple where one manages the accounts while the other signs without reading. Your Moon stood on the stretch from 20° of Kumbha to 3°20′ of Meena, and the portrait holds just as well for either sign. Your life opened in a Guru dasha. None of this comes about fully without a strong Moon.
Its ruler is Guru: life begins in the Guru dasha. It sits in Aquarius sidereal and Pisces sidereal.
