One is emotionally oriented toward ensuring connection through being Absorbed into the Source, as water is absorbed into the ocean. the Shukra-ruled Purva-Ashadha Chandra native is attractive; the eyes (Shukra-2) are quite entrancing . Adolph Hitler, OSHO Rajneesh, Aishwarya Rai, Josemaria Escriva, Pat Robertson. Delusion in the Deluge Sweet success (Shukra) comes to this native easily and often on a very broad scale (Guru). yet Shukra-Guru influence upon Purvaashadha Soma contains significant potential for self-deception and delusion. Sensually luxurious Shukra = the great deceiver! Ultimately one may become absorbed into sensual overload. This can even happen in meditation and prayer of a particularly sensual type, esp adoration of the deity as love partner. One may become addicted to the pleasures (Shukra) of religious satisfaction (Shukra-Guru), believing that a human (oneself) is so attractive to the higher powers that one has negotiated an equal relationship with the divine. the native is called to one's vocation Early in Life usually with several remarkable Early Successes which raise the confidence high and give the native a confirming experience of being Attractive to people Higher truth can get twisted when inclusive and compassionate Guru must express His will through the auspice of Brihaspati's enemy the self-pleasuring Shukra. Successful as these folk often are, there is nearly always some issue of incomplete understanding of the Truth, due to the gross conflict between Guru's expansive, cosmic, inclusive anti-materialism vs. Shukra's sensual, body-based materialistic pleasures. They sound like they know what they're talking about - many are convinced Shukra = daityaguru, teacher of the demons. Shukra seduces the native toward indulgence in the drugsof sensual experience and self-satisfaction. Shukra uses Guru's influence of belief in great truthsandguidance by a holy priesthood, to convince the native that one is the path and proof of unassailable righteousness. Without sufficient consciousness, the Purva-ashadha native may become a victim of this nasty trick. Purvashadha Chandra enjoys a feeling of Accomplishment. There is pleasure (Shukra) in believing (Guru) that one's early victories in life, which have brought luxury (Shukra) and expansion (Guru), are "proof" of the righteousness of one's path. Aside from the interpersonal annoyance caused by Purvashadha's typical arrogance, the biggest problem facing the native who wishes to achieve consciousness while born under the Purva-ashadha Moon = self-isolation from negative facts or criticism. If the supporting graha are indeed inauspicious, one may sink deeper and deeper into Addictionto the feeling of self-righteous satisfaction, particularly in matters of religious conviction(Dhanushya). It is possible for the Purvaashadha Chandra, supported by two contradictory benefics (Guru and Shukra) to achieve a sensually driven emotional addiction to self-justification. the native wants to believe (Guru) that one is a chosen "eugenic" leader whose words provide nourishment for the people. As one Chosen to the the Special Facilitator between the people and the Divine, or between the people and Celebrities, one may treat others - one's spouse and children, one's community, one's nation or the world -- with any degree of dehumanizing disregard. When criticism, contradiction, principled disagreement, or other Antidotes to the emotional drug of divinely approved self-satisfaction come along, the native may reject the humanity of others. There is risk of extreme isolation from any source of realistic, correcting input that might disturb the righteous-pleasure state. It is easy for Purva-ashadha to dance merrily down the path of dehumanizing self-righteousness, while believing that one has been granted some sort of divine privilege, based on "early victories". Toward the end of WWII, Adolph Hitler became increasingly hostile to negative reports from the field. His response was not to make corrections, but rather to isolate himself from the voices of criticism. Hitler died in an iconic state of self-isolation: in a reinforced concrete underground bunker, surrounded by a small team of worshippers. Note: Hitler's Purvashadha Chandra + swakshetra Guru (tremendous expansion of the power of belief) + Ketu (extreme emotional detachment). Mrs. Barbara Bushwas negatively famous her disregard for thecharitable social servicewhich is traditionally undertaken by wives of USA Senators and Presidents. Her most notorious dehumanizing comment was made when she was asked her view of the human cost of war in Iraq (being declared by her son G.W. Bush at that moment). She said, "why should we hear about body bags, and deaths ... and how many ... why should I waste my beautiful mind on something like that?" Mrs. Bush also has Purvaashadha Chandra expanded by the swakshetra Guru (in lagna!) and her Soma receives drishti from Kuja, Shukra, and Shani. This native, however wrong-headed one may be, will resist any change of course on their destined movement toward the Source. Faced with a challenge, this one cannot easily change strategy or tactic; but Purvashadha will never give up the pursuit of the goal. One achieves "early victory" through being in the right place at the right time to take skillful advantage of a grassroots social movement, a sudden marriage or business Opportunity, or a sea-change in public tastes. The early advantage is generally maintained throughout life. When damaged by hostile effects, Purvashadha Moon creates religious fundamentalists, ideologues, and tyrants. Pursuit of personal aggrandizement often manifests as a lack of compassion for others. When supported by friendly effects, Purvashadha Moon gives the power to sustain religious vows, and stay loyal to fundamental principlein any undertaking. The key to success with Purvashadha Chandra is, indeed, to choose one's commitments carefully. Because after making the first, early commitment, one will be emotionally unable to change course for the rest of one's life. Should one's initial viewpoint turn out to have been wrong, Purvashadha moon will die trying. I.e., hoist by one's own petard, caught in his own web, and goes down with the ship. Yet: when steady, loyal commitment to an early-life vow, Or a simplistic, one-size-fits-all ideological solution to a complex human problem, Are the keys to success, this native will achieve the pinnacle. Positive traits include personal determination, work ethic, fierce loyalty to a person or a cause, and unshakable commitment to reach the goal regardless of its validity. May be tremendous supporters of religious institutions, ideologies, and fundamental moral principles, especially in a dogmatic form. Negative traits are more famous for Purvashadha. Considerable difficulties in accepting professional and collegial advicefrom those holding a higher viewpoint. Associated with low birth (esp. for males; see Adolf Hitler), constitutional stubbornness, and abuse of relatives including incest and embezzlement of family funds. For Purvashadha, The ends will justify the means.
Tibetan Tradition	Chu-do
Prenatal maternal narrative of Shukra and Born into Shukra Mahadasha Strong planetary animosities: Guru greatly dislikes Shukra However Shukra feels neutral toward Guru. Chandra has no enemies.	From Dhanushya-Chandra lagna, Shukra rules the ripu bhava (6) and the labha bhava (11). The parents are often significantly concerned with earning an income and they may be in marital conflict emotionally at the time of the prenatal epoch and the native 's birth. Purvashadha natives are born into a narrative of pleasure-and-treasure-accumulation (Shukra) - wealth and knowledge - and they keep that script close to their emotional hearts throughout life. The script is diversified by the application of Shukra's sensual talents to the tasks of logical argumentation (6) possibly exploitation and accusations (6) and the practice medicine (6). the native is often drawn into exploitive (6) situations which are nonetheless quite profitable (11). Extreme example = Adolph Hitler kept up high levels of armament productions despite the expense of a losing war by using slave labor in the WW-2 German prison camps. The devotees of OSHO Rajneeshwere asked to sell all of their property and give the proceeds to the commune, where they then worked long hours without pay The mother would have been especially concerned with matters of complaints and litigation (6) medicine and drugs (6) disappointed promises in relationships (6) as well as obtainment of earnings and income in the marketplace (11). Meeting material goals, esp financial ones (Shukra) would have been important to her. Due to Shukra's influence she would have been thinking about her own attractiveness, worthiness, and beauty. All of these concerns remain part of the native 's psychic narrative throughout life.
Ketu yuti Chandra	If Ketu is yuti Chandra in a nakshatra of Shukra, the native may slowly lose the hair, teeth, or voice. There may be separation or abandonment in relationship during Ketu periods. If Chandra is yuti Shukra the native the mother indulges the Purvaphalguni child in sweets and treats; which spoils the child for life. Being spoiled does not harm the career and may in fact enhance it, as one will work hard for the luxuries. However the entitlement to sweet treats becomes unshakable when Chandra + Shukra, esp in a nakshatra of Shukra.

Wealthy Collections and Design Arts	As with all the Shukra-ruled nakshatra (Bharani , Purvaphalguni, Purvashadha) this one is a collector and hoarder; therefore material wealth (Shukra) is usually abundant (rashi of Guru). T the native enjoys a natural affinity for the broad study (Dhanushya) of fine arts and design [Emilio Pucci, Aishwarya Rai] (Shukra) and global diplomacy (Shukra). Religious art (Dhanushya-Shukra) is a particularly engaging study for this native, and if other graha support significant wealth the native may attract (Chandra-Shukra) to oneself a substantial collection of beautiful and valuable religiously themed works of art. Even the demonic Adolph Hitler was notably interested in religious art and symbolism; he arranged major collecting campaigns to acquire precious religious objects from the most ancient symbolic traditions.
Dehumanization	Dehumanization is the poisonous antidote to compassion. It is probably the most demonic trait that a human being can manifest. Purvashadha's victorious end is some sort of dominant power, and Purvashadha's ideologically-driven instinct can result in dehumanizationof the human "obstacles" blocking the path to a triumph of orthodoxy.
Mother	the mother feelsa need for relationships which deliver religious-ideological validation She may place orthodoxy above nurturing. the native will be comfortable in relationships with ideologues, high-priests, philosophical teachers, and dogmatic personalities. Parenting style responds to the native 's need for priestly recognition before attending to any concerns of children. Females only Because Guru is the kalatrakaraka for a woman's first marriage, a female native with Chandra in Purvashadha may find that her priestly affinities are expressed more vividly or more publicly via her husband. The female tends to be a loyal and unquestioning spouse, unswervingly committed to her husband's programme. The male tends to find a devoted wife who shares his philosophical beliefs.

NavamshaMoonin PurvaAshadha(intimate relationships). Brad Pitt Elvis Presley Paul Newman	In order to mirrorone's own subconscious emotional patterns, one attracts a core partner who expresses Purvaashadha behavior. Under emotional stress in relationships, the native with navamsha Chandra in Purvaashadha can experience anxiety reactions that manifest as compulsive merging and clinging And obsessive repetition of claims based on vows or statements of commitment from the past. Navamsha Chandra in Purvaashadha indicates a deep resistance to "mid-course corrections" in the native 's own psyche, which if personally unacknowledged must be expressed through the partner's actions. The partner needs clear sense of direction in the relationship, and a simple set of working principles or vows to ground the commitment.The partner cannot handle too much complexity and the partner may be unable to adapt or change his/her life strategy if and when life circumstances require adaptive change. Partner is hard-working, mono-focused, typically quite beautiful (Guru-Shukra) typically with lovely eyes. Depending on the Nakshatra of the native 's radix Moon, the partner's emotional resistance to change may be a source of conflict and eventually separation in a relationship. Due to its sense of merging and flowing toward a fixed destination, Purvaashadha Nakshatra is a good place for sustaining vows and partner commitments, but excessively rigid or legalistic interpretation of the early promises can cause resentment along the path of spiritual growth. It is good to introduce more compassion into the ongoing interpretation of early promises, if humanly possible.
