What tradition holds

Tradition holds that people with the Moon in Purva Bhadrapada can live for a larger ideal and put full dedication into what they believe. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: quick understanding, a gift for putting things into words, eagerness to learn, and the ability to adapt. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
