Please refer to the introductory article here – https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/AscendantNakshatraandLifePattern to understand the theme and purpose of this series.


So, now we will try to understand that what will happen if Purva Ashadha Nakshatra is someone’s Ascendant Nakshatra and how it is going to impact the life pattern of person.


So, let’s cover this article under the following points –


Ascendant Nakshatra – There is something called the Ascendant Nakshatra. It is based on the degree of Ascendant (please find introduction of all the Nakshatras here - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/intronaksh)


If Ascendant shows the life path then Ascendant Nakshatra will show the pattern of life. It shows the activities we follow throughout life as pattern.


Purva Ashadha - Purva Ashadha Nakshatra is from 13.20 degree to 26.40 degree of Sagittarius. . So, Purva Ashadha Nakshatra is in front of Punarvasu Nakshatra from 20.00 degree to 26.40 degree of Sagittarius. It is a nakshatra of higher education, analysis and research. It is also nakshatra of giving care to others. For more information on Purva Ashadha Nakshatra, please read this - https://www.astrosaxena.com/panaksh .


Effect of Purva Ashadha Nakshatra as Ascendant Nakshatra – Purva Ashadha is related with early victories or early success in life. It is nakshatra of higher education, guidance/counselling/teaching. It represents rationalization and segregation between useful and useless material. It also represents teachers or anyone who provides early nourishment to others. These are main traits and characteristics of Purva Ashadha Nakshatra.


Ascendant Nakshatra Lord’s Position – Now, as ascendant shows our life path and ascendant lord’s position in chart shows the direction of life path; likewise, ascendant nakshatra shows our life pattern and position of ascendant nakshatra lord in chart shows that in which area of life, the life pattern will be exhibited.


Like, we have discussed all above traits and characteristics of Purva Ashadha Nakshatra which (any of them) can become Life Pattern for someone if it is person’s ascendant nakshatra. Now, in whichever House/Sign Purva Ashadha lord Venus is placed in a Sagittarius Ascendant's chart, person may get Purva Ashadha’s and Venus’s results as life pattern. Additionally, person’s life pattern involving aforementioned activities can be exhibited from the house/sign wherever Venus is placed in chart.


Here, going through Venus’s position in each house/sign can be repetitive or monotonous. So, for understanding the end result, we can rely on the Concept of Who, How, What & Where -https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/whww.


“Where” is the House where event is happening.

“What” is the Sign which is indicating towards event.

“Who” is the Planet who is bringing the event; and

“How” is the quality of event which depends on nature and dignity of planet.


For example, Venus in 4th house/Pisces shows that person can be nourishing towards mother or home environment. They can be providing love & nourishment to people at home, so that home environment can prosper. They can be very much of servitude towards their Mother. At the same time, it can give them a very dreamy approach towards love, life and relationship. As Venus is exalted, person can have better benefits in non-living significances of 4th house/Pisces, Venus and Purva Ashasha but when it comes to living significances like relationship etc. usual problems can come-up.


Whereas Venus in 10th house/Virgo shows that person can be serving or nourishing people at their work place. They can be very service oriented. They can also be in a career where they may have to use their rationalizing abilities or they can be naturally rational or analytical or perfectionist by nature and may direct that nature towards work or people at work. As Venus is debilitated here, native can be feeling frustrated with the benefits/results which he gets in work and relationship both.


Final example, Venus in 7th house/Gemini can show that person can be nourishing towards others or partner. Person can be in servitude towards masses in business or towards partner in relationship. They can be directing their rationalizing skills towards their business and their partner. This can be seen as positive trait for business but not so helpful in dealing in relationship matters. As Venus is in friendly sign Gemini, person can get better results in business but they can have some frustrations with partner due to disagreement.


Like this, we can understand about how and where the ascendant nakshatra lord is exhibiting the results of life pattern. In further articles of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern, I will cover other house/sign positions which would help us in learning interpretation of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern in a more holistic way.


Dignity –As always, Dignity of Planet has the highest say. If Venus is in exaltation (Pisces), Own Signs (Taurus & Libra), Friendly Signs (Gemini) and Neutral Signs (Aries & Scorpio), there is a potential that person can get results without much difficulties or obstacles. When Venus is in Enemy Signs (Cancer & Leo), Saturnine Signs (Capricorn & Aquarius) and Debilitated Sign (Virgo) then things can be difficult to achieve and extra hard work is needed to be done.


Conclusion – As I understand, this is how we can understand as to how ascendant nakshatra can setup the life pattern for people with Purva Ashadha Nakshatra as the Ascendant Nakshatra.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
