Always finding something to fight

Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra

Purva Bhadrapada, as per mythology, is ruled by Lord Aja Ekapada. This Nakshatra belongs to revolutionaries. Lord Aja Ekapada is known to be the one-legged unborn one and that one-legged form is compared to the power of lightning. He is represented by the single bolt of lightning or he's the lightning itself.

When lightning strikes it burns everything at once, it strikes rapidly, suddenly, that is the character of Lord Aja Ekapada. The native too, a Purva Bhadrapada native too, would have this power to bring a change on a large-scale, suddenly and quickly. The destructive power of the lightning or fire is highlighted by the main symbol of this Nakshatra and that is the front legs of a funeral cot which directly links this Nakshatra to themes of death and destruction. No revolution can occur without fighting a battle.

You can't have peace without bloodshed as they say and that is what this Nakshatra is all about, bringing a change even by force. It wouldn't be of any surprise to you that this Nakshatra has the nature belonging to Ugra which translates to fierce. The native would go all out, all eggs in one basket to achieve one's mission, one's goal. It's a good time for me to introduce that this Nakshatra is ruled by Jupiter.

Mars in Purva Bhadrapada

When Mars is in Purva Bhadrapada your passion and drive for the cause you're fighting for would be very visible. No revolution ever starts without passion and that comes from Mars and the native would not know when to stop. Once the native has found a goal, a mission to fulfil, the native would go on and on with a never-give-up attitude, not stopping until the goal is accomplished. In many ways the native would be an inspiration since Mars belongs to the caste of a Kshatriya, a warrior.

The revolution here can also be military in nature like the native is behind rallying people around oneself, commanding them to pick up arms and fight the system. This can happen even in the corporate sector where there is a question of unequal pay, the native has started a revolution. Here the battleground is within the company or it's in a courtroom or even in a sports field. The native would be a fighter and an excellent one, that's the first thing.

This can even translate to the native being behind scientific inventions, those engineering marvels. It's reminding me of Iron Man where he built the iron suit inside a cave. A Mars-in-Purva-Bhadrapada native would carry that optimism that anything is possible. The native would be technically very strong, particularly if Purva Bhadrapada falls in the sign of Aquarius and would also have this gift of knowledge to put one's technical expertise into practice due to Jupiter's rulership.

The native could also be an entrepreneur. Here the native would see entrepreneurship as a challenge, as a mission. If the native doesn't have a purpose, a mission, the native would feel very dissatisfied. This is a combination full of passion, full of energy, full of wanting to do things.

If that purpose is missing, the native can go to the extreme, finding something to fight for, and in pursuit of that the native can start fighting the wrong issue. Mars is known to have a tamasic energy, darkness. Here the native may pick up arms against the wrong kind of enemy, may take law in one's own hands. Proper guidance would be necessary with this position.

If the native is well guided, the native can accomplish things no one thought anyone could do. That is the capability the native would possess. Being single-minded, being uncompromising and going to the extreme are challenges a Mars-in-Purva-Bhadrapada native would need to overcome. That's my view.
