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: determination, deep insight, being trusted with confidences, and staying the course through hard times. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
