What Purva Ashadha means in Vedic astrology

Purva Ashadha is the 20th of the 27 Nakshatra — the lunar mansions that divide the sidereal zodiac into finer bands than the twelve Rāsi. It spans Sagittarius 13°20′–26°40′, is ruled by Venus, and is presided over by the deity Apas.

Its symbol is the winnowing basket, and it belongs to the Manushya gana. Your Nakshatra is determined by the exact degree of the Moon at your birth, which makes it far more specific than your moon sign alone — and it is what drives your Vimshottari Dasha, the timing system at the heart of Jyotish prediction.
