What Sun in Purva Ashadha nakshatra means
The winnowing basket of Purva Ashadha lies in Sagittarius, under Venus, and its deity is Apas, the waters. Venus is the Sun's enemy, and Jupiter, lord of the sign, is a friend. The nakshatra is called the unconquered one. The Sun is here about two weeks, and the stay falls within Dhanurmasa.
The Sun's significations take on the quality of the winnowing basket. What is light is blown off and the grain remains. A claim to authority is tested by argument, and government makes declarations that are hard to withdraw. Purva Ashadha is ugra, and the fortnight favours a firm stand over a gentle one.
Apas purify, and the heat of the Sun in the waters' nakshatra gives cleansing: a fast, a bath at a tirtha, a confession. The eyes benefit from cold water, and the heart from less speech.
Libra, Cancer, Pisces and Aquarius Moons hold the third, sixth, tenth and eleventh, the houses Phaladeepika favours for the Sun. Sagittarius Moons carry the Sun in the first house and Capricorn Moons in the twelfth. Taurus and Virgo Moons have the eighth and the fourth, and should take care of health and the home. The lagna is read the same way.
What the person will not surrender is under test. The Sun in Venus's nakshatra can defend a position out of pride or out of dharma, and the fortnight makes the difference plain.
Water to the rising Sun at dawn, and Om Suryaya Namah. For Apas, waste no water, and offer some to a river or a tank. Give jaggery on Sunday, and hold firm only where one is certain.
