What Sun in Purva Bhadrapada nakshatra means
Jupiter rules Purva Bhadrapada, the front legs of the funeral cot and the sword, and Aja Ekapada is its deity. Three padas lie in Aquarius and the fourth in Pisces. The Sun leaves Saturn's sign for Jupiter's at Meena Sankranti at the fourth pada. Jupiter is the Sun's friend, and the graha's ease improves as the stay goes on.
Aja Ekapada, the one-footed goat, is counted among the Rudras in some lists, and the nakshatra is austerity taken to its edge. Over a stay of about two weeks the Sun's significations turn severe. A father is strict, government punishes, and the person in authority must hold a line at personal cost. Purva Bhadrapada is ugra.
Tapas is the positive use. Fasting, a vow of silence, a hard discipline of the body for a fixed term, all go well with the Sun here. The heart should be checked in anyone doing severe practice, and anger is the fault that undoes the merit.
In the Aquarius padas, Sagittarius, Virgo, Taurus and Aries Moons hold the third, sixth, tenth and eleventh. In the Pisces pada those houses pass to Capricorn, Libra, Gemini and Taurus Moons. Aquarius and then Pisces Moons carry the Sun in the first, and Aries Moons meet it in the twelfth once it enters Pisces. The lagna is counted the same way.
How the person uses severity is what the fortnight shows. Turned on oneself as tapas it purifies. Turned on others it becomes cruelty with a reason attached.
Water to the rising Sun and Om Suryaya Namah. For Aja Ekapada, a Shiva abhisheka and a day of fasting. Give copper on Sunday and keep speech mild.
