About this entry

Purva Ashadha covers 13 degrees 20 minutes to 26 degrees 40 minutes of Sagittarius. Venus gives it a Vimshottari dasha of 20 years. Each quarter is a navamsa, one ninth of a sign: first Leo, then Virgo, Libra and Scorpio. Uttara Ashadha follows it.

Iyer's translation of chapter XVI gives the Moon in this nakshatra an agreeable wife, a proud bearing and attachment to friends. It is a three-item entry and the book offers nothing else for it.
