Nakshatra Essences

Purva Ashada (aslo written as Poorvashada) energy gives us the freedom, fearlessness, and courage to follow our joy in the moment in an extravagant and unique way. In fact, it makes us feel invincible. This energy has the power to invigorate, renew, replenish. Here we get caught up in the excitement of the moment with little or no thought of past or future giving us a “just do it” attitude. It is associated with water, so it is an excellent energy to invoke while engaged in diving, sailing, surfing, etc, or going on a long boating trip. Just spending time on the beach or by the river helps to invoke Purva Ashada’s influence.

In a spiritual sense, this is a cleansing energy. It gives a daily renewal and rejuvenation when we follow a spiritual practice. Strong faith and spiritual wisdom are also indicated by Purva Ashada.

This is a fierce, severe and Rajasic (action-oriented) energy. Under this influence we like to surround our selves with an air of mystery to protect our freedom in any case, our unstoppable lust for adventure will make us quite unpredictable. Often, with our unique and daring optimism we will be an inspiration to those around us.

The final aim of this nakshatra is Moksha or spiritual liberation.

The 3 stars of Purva Ashada are Kaus Australis, Kaus Media and Kaus Borealis in the constellation of Sagittarius.

This is a star of fire and transformation, where we get the impulse to ignite the inner spiritual fire. We will feel a burning passion for the supernatural, and an innate interest in spiritual pursuits. This can lead to our first encounter with a Kundalini awakening experience, and this is not without danger if the body and soul are not sufficiently purified through practice. Past karmas will be burned quickly by this star energy and this may not always be a pleasant experience.

It is of utmost importance to seek a righteous spiritual path because Purva Bhadra (aslo written as Poorvabhadrapada) is often overwhelmed by impatience, it does not really care how this inner fire is generated.

Once a path or practice is chosen, this nakshatra will give us the devotion and passion necessary to accomplish our objective.

Self-reliance, passion, idealism and warrior-like qualities are attained under the influence of Purva Bhadra. We will also gain good intuition and a sense of adventure. It makes it possible for us to be engaged in intense practice behind the scenes, while it appears we lead a normal life like everyone else.
