Harsh penance if taken too far

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.

Saturn in Purva Bhadrapada

When Saturn is in Purva Bhadrapada, I think you'd be ready for a long-drawn fight to bring a change in the society and your fight would also be to serve the people. You'd do whatever you do on a large-scale, particularly if this position falls in the sign of Aquarius. Like the social workers who take to the streets to highlight the use of coal in our industry and how it's polluting the environment. You're serving the people by raising their concerns on a large-scale.

The quality to never give up and to endure the difficulties would be one of your greatest qualities. This combination can also lead to scientific inventions. Every such invention has many hours of hard work behind it. Perseverance comes from Saturn and this understanding of things comes from Jupiter.

Eventually the native could become such a master in one's field that the native may have the capability to revolutionise one's industry or work entirely. The native would lead by example, that would be the leadership style and the native would rally support. Due to that, the native would not consider oneself different from the team. This position can also lead to the native being very knowledgeable in an ancient science.

One of the major downsides would be going to the extreme. Earlier I'd highlighted that out of guilt the native might resort to harsh penance or severe asceticism of some kind and this position might be linked to that behaviour. This is one of the positions where the native would be a very wise and mature person. However, this would only happen after the native has gone through several phases of hardships.

It's going to be one's experience of life and experience of the hardships of life that would make the native what the native is. On the whole, the native would be an inspiration. The courage the native would display during difficult times would be an inspiration for people. That's my view of Saturn in this position.
