Rudra Connection With Purva Bhadrapad Nakshatra

 It's so interesting that the last cycle of nakshatra from (Mula to Revati) lie in the signs ruled by heavy & slow moving outer planets Jupiter & Saturn. Starting from Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius & ending in Pisces. The planetary nature of nakshatras attains maturity under them. 

This makes Purva Bhadra pada an extremely critical nakshatra, especially in terms of spiritual progress. Because it is ruled by both heavy planets Jupiter and Saturn. PBP is ruled by Aja Ekapada, one of the forms of Rudra. There in total 11 rudras born to Goddess Aditi. 

Both in Ardra & Purva Bhadra Pada, one will notice Rudra energies. But I personally feel in PBP (Purva Bhadra Pada), this energy matures. We see a mature form of Shiva, the divine masculine. In PBP, Jupiter reaches its maturity. 

In this article further I will discuss about the nature of Purva Bhadra Pada nakshatra. In my personal opinion, natives of this placement share a lot of similarities with lord Shiva (bcz of Rudra connection). Most of them are extremely generous to a fault. 

Lord Shiva is known to be the most generous God granting boons to people who worship him. He is always surrounded by snakes and different forms of ghosts. Snakes who are yin beings are attracted to Shiva who is the ultimate yang form. PBP individuals have strong yang due to Jupiter. 

Another aspect of PBP natives is that  they resist spending much on their themselves, their homes or lifestyle. While they are extremely successful in the material world accumulate lot of wealth due to Jupiter influence. But like Shiva, chose to give away generously.

But their generosity is tested. Most of the time, they're taken for granted by people around them. People be misusing their kindness. They are often pushed beyond a point where they can't retain their goodness, then they become fierce like Rudra. 

One of the symbols of Purva Bhadrapada is of a man with two faces. This is best depicted through the character in the Dark Knight movie, Two-Face. It was played by PBP Sun Aaron Eckhart.

In the beginning, he was "Harvey Dent" who was viewed by everyone in Gotham, including Bruce Wayne, played by Christian Bale (Shravana Sun; Vishnu Symbolism) as a shining beacon of hope and goodness. He changes after his traumatic loss of his beloved Rachel in the movie. 

This is similar to the story of Shiva who became furious after losing his first wife Sati. Most PBP undergo major transformation in their lives. As I have mentioned before Saturn adds a lot of trauma and challenges in the lives of Aquarius & Capricorn moon, especially emotional. 

But in the Dark Knight movie, Dent's dark side is protected for the public. PBP have a strong humanitarian nature & are quite popular in public due to their wisdom & generosity. But their dark side is often protected. Sometimes people who are aware of their darkness, protect it. 

I love the interplay between Batman (played by Shravana Sun), Two Face(played by PBP Sun) Aaron Eckhart and Joker (played by Revati sun) Heath Ledger. It shows the interplay between the last three signs of Capricorn, Aquarius & Pisces.

Another good example of PBP is Purva Bhadra pada Sun Jon Hamm's character in Mad Men. Don Draper had a traumatic past and sad childhood which he carefully hid beneath his charming and successful personality. Few people knew of his other side, his other face.
