About this pada

What tradition holds

Tradition holds that people with the Moon in Purva Ashadha carry an inner enthusiasm that does not give up easily. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: balanced thinking, courtesy, a gift for bringing people together, and a feel for art and beauty. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
