Purvashada
1 One born in Purvashada will have a good and pleasant wife, proud and a steady friend.
2 One born in Purvashadha will derive sexual pleasures (only) from his spouse. He will be skilful, firm in friendship, will incur grief, be heroic and honourable.
3 Purvashadha is ruled by the Waters (Apas). Its power is that of invigoration (varchograhana shakti). Its basis above is strength. Its basis below is connection. Through these three one gains lustre. Purvashadha brings about purification and regeneration, like the energy gained through taking a bath in water. It provides us additional energy for our efforts. These effects flow from the Waters, which in this instance are heavenly in nature and can provide inner purification.
