Purva Bhadrapada - Ascendant Nakshatra Life Pattern

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 Bhadrapada 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 Bhadrapada Nakshatra – Purva Bhadrapada is from 20.00 degrees of Aquarius to 3.20 degrees of Pisces. It is a nakshatra related with mystical events and experiences. It is also nakshatra of duality. Please check this link for more info on Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra - https://www.astrosaxena.com/pbnaksha.


Effect of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra as Ascendant Nakshatra – Purva Bhadrapada is related with our very initial spiritual interests or experiences. It also shows our initial teachers on spiritual path. It shows spiritual pursuits like Yoga. It also shows people who can be a cheat or liar or deceiver. It is more a spirituality oriented nakshatra than materialism. This nakshatra also shows a leg injury or split of any kind.


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 Bhadrapada Nakshatra which (any of them) can become Life Pattern for someone if it is person’s ascendant nakshatra. Now, in whichever House/Sign Purva Bhadrapada lord Jupiter is placed in a Aquarius/Pisces Ascendant's chart, person may get Purva Bhadrapada’s and Jupiter’s results as life pattern. Additionally, person’s life pattern involving aforementioned activities can be exhibited from the house/sign wherever Jupiter is placed in chart.


Here, going through Jupiter’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, Jupiter in 9th house/Libra for Aquarius ascendant shows that person can be involved in sharing their knowledge which can be more of spiritual nature. They can be working as Yoga Guru or Meditation Teacher. They can be having multiple businesses of this nature. Person can be a very good guide/counsellor and they can work as relationship counsellor. Most of their clients can be at far distant lands or among people of different ethnicity. They can have split opinion in matters of belief system, religion and philosophy. As Jupiter is in enemy sign, person can be feeling frustrated about the overall result, especially in personal life.


Whereas, Jupiter in 7th house/Virgo for Pisces ascendant shows a person who is healing and serving people through their knowledge and business. This healing can be in medical/spiritual field both. They can be highly perfectionist in their business matters and dealing with people. Same perfectionist behavior in relationship is going to create troubles and split in relationship. It will be better if person expects perfectionism from Self rather than others. As Jupiter is still in enemy sign, person can be feeling frustrated about the overall result, especially in personal life.


Final example, Jupiter in 10th house/Sagittarius for Pisces ascendant shows a person whose life pattern can be to serve people as teacher/guide/counsellor. They can be seen as teacher in the field of spirituality, religion, philosophy, yoga or other rituals. This also shows a professor type of role in career. Person can have split belief system or kind of double image in society. As Jupiter is in own sign here, person can be feeling content about the result.


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. So, we can expect better or more satisfactory results if Jupiter is in friendly signs (Aries, Leo and Scorpio), own signs (Sagittarius and Pisces) and exaltation sign (Cancer). But results can be frustrating one if Jupiter is in enemy signs (Taurus, Gemini, Virgo and Libra) or in Saturnine signs (Capricorn and Aquarius).


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


Hope this helps, Thanks,
