Ideas that can be too grandiose

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.

Mercury in Purva Bhadrapada

When Mercury is in Purva Bhadrapada you'll draw attention to your views to your unconventional revolutionary thinking. You'd make an excellent storyteller like a journalist explaining what is wrong in politics and what can be done to change things. How to remove corruption. You'd be able to put your revolutionary ideas succinctly.

Here's something interesting. Mercury and Jupiter do not share the best relationship so at times your views can be seen as too grandiose and most people may feel your ideas are impractical. Any project that requires careful analysis I think you'll do an excellent job. Your future can be in data analytics where you are given a task and you have to at the end of the task come up with meaningful actionable insights.

Anything that challenges you on an intellectual plane you'll take up that challenge and you'll never give up. That would be your greatest quality. Your views would be seen as extreme, harsh, rude. We must not forget that this nakshatra has an Ugra nature.

This can be a difficult position as the native can take on a controversial position on issues and may not know the consequences of taking such an extreme stance. Like someone says I don't agree with the politics in my country and I'm going to start another party and we are going to bring a change. This is a grandiose idea perhaps impractical as every step requires following through fighting for a long time and when Mercury is there that following through with one's plan of action might be missing. It's a combination where the person may have big thinking but not have the necessary resources to follow through one's thinking to convert one's idea into action and lastly I think this position can lead to a heightened curiosity to learn about different things.

Mercury and Jupiter coming together and if it's falling in the sign of Pisces I think it's an even stronger position. The native can even use one's imagination to tell creative stories. This combination can lead to a fiction writer. In that case the native might revolutionise the fiction writing industry.

It's a fascinating position.
