Moon in Purva Bhadrapad Nakshatra
Moon in Purva Bhadrapad simply is a sign that there is a great potential to progress on the spiritual path — provided the native is an evolving soul.
An evolving soul means a soul that is on the spiritual path.
An evolved soul means a soul that has been on the spiritual journey for many, many past births — he or she has spent much of their energy and life in deep penance and in seeking the ultimate truth.
Moon in Purva Bhadrapad works wonders especially when it comes to spirituality and wisdom.
Sanatan Dharma and Purushartha
The Sanatan Dharma — meaning the Eternal Dharma, the Eternal Religion, the Eternal Order of ancient India — had therefore emphasized on Purushartha.
Purushartha literally means object of human pursuit. It refers to the four proper goals of human life:
- Dharma – being righteous.
- Artha – earning money.
- Kama – enjoying sexual pleasures.
- Moksha – attaining liberation.
People who are not comfortable to listen or talk about sex have real serious problems with their sexuality. Such men and women should learn to accept the fact that sex is one of the four goals of life — the Purusharthas of Sanatan Dharma.
Moon in Air Signs
Moon in Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius is always good for material progress because such a Moon is more focused on attaining fame, expanding social networks, and — considering today’s networking age — such a Moon becomes an asset, provided Saturn is well placed in the birth chart.
The most striking quality of Aquarius is being vocal about issues that matter. And when Moon is in Purva Bhadrapad, the native is indeed very vocal and would never suffer silently but would voice out his or her concerns to the world.
One fine example is the famous revolutionary priest and American social civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr.
One of his famous quotes:
“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter.”
Another example is Hillary Clinton, also born with Moon in Purva Bhadrapad Nakshatra. She indeed has been a voice for millions of women across the US.
One of her famous quotes:
“We need to understand that there is no formula for how women should lead their lives. That is why we must respect the choices that each woman makes for herself and her family. Every woman deserves the chance to realize her God-given potential.”
Signs of Imagination and Communication
Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius are signs of imagination, intellectualism, and communication. Many great poets and authors are born with Moon in Purva Bhadrapad in these signs.
- In Gemini, Moon wants to communicate, interact, and impress.
- In Libra, Moon wants to make deals and form relationships.
- In Aquarius, Moon wants to make benefits from the deals and relationships that he or she has so cleverly nurtured.
Aquarius Moon definitely is focused on enjoying the benefits and perks — generally making one rich and famous if Saturn, Jupiter, Mercury, and Venus are strong in the birth chart.
When it comes to relationships, Moon in Purva Bhadrapad Aquarius can lead to many challenges.
It is possible that six months ago you may see a man and a woman in each other’s arms, and six months later you may see the same man and woman trying to cut each other’s throats.
There are many such “love marriages” that have turned into “hate marriages” and landed in court.
Relationship is always demanding.
But relating is never demanding.
Relating means: I relate with you, you relate with me. There is no obligation, no dependency. As long as you relate, you can be good friends. The moment you no longer relate, you can choose your ways apart.
Relating therefore is beautiful.
If you love a woman, if you love a man, then first see if you relate. Because as long as you relate, you will be good friends. And in love, friendship is very important.
Love may fade away after your first few honeymoon nights, but friendship will remain.
Buddha on Friendship
Buddha never told people to love each other. He talked about friendship.
Ananda once asked Buddha why he did not call it love.
Buddha said:
Friendship is deeper than love. Love can end, but friendship never ends. Love binds, but friendship gives freedom. Love can enslave, it can possess, it can become a master. Friendship does not become a master, it does not hold anyone back, it does not imprison. Friendship frees you.
Moon in Purva Bhadrapad understands this essence of friendship. Being a highly humanistic, socializing, and understanding sign, Aquarius qualities are more visible with Moon in Purva Bhadrapad.
The sacred tree for Purva Bhadrapad is the Neem tree.
- Watering, gardening, nurturing the Neem tree refines the good qualities of Moon in Purva Bhadrapad.
- Even eating two leaves of Neem every day will help improve health.
Purva Bhadrapad is the peak of Sri Guru’s wisdom.
And so I humbly prostrate before the wise, divine Purva Bhadrapad Nakshatra.
May its blessings continue to shower on me and on all my close followers.
The whole message of Purva Bhadrapad is:
- Do not try to perceive this world through reason or logic.
- God and this world can only be attained when you start moving beyond logic, towards the heart.
For the heart knows the way. God dwells in your heart. And the language of the heart cannot be known through reason — it can only be felt when you stop thinking and start feeling.
As Guru Nanak beautifully said:
One cannot comprehend Him through reason, even if one reasoned for ages.
And so, only a man of heart can truly feel and understand the language of Buddha, Krishna, Jesus, and Guru Nanak.
The Master is in search of such men and women who follow their heart — who don’t run by their legs but who run by their heart.
