Purvashadha, for females:
"Lovely eyes set in a beautiful face, with small cupid's bow lips and brown, naturally curly hair, describes the native with Purvashadha rising at birth. She is also to be distinguished by the small well-proportioned feet.
She has a generous positive character and should be successful in some occupation which would enable her to employ her natural ability as an organizer & manager. She is apt to have been born in an influential family."
-- Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 99.
Chandra in Purvashadha: [Barbara Bush, singer Tammy Wynette]
Purvashadha, for males:
"... corresponds to rather a low type of character. One who does not wish for and does not get the gracious things out of life. Stupid, yet ostentatious & vulgar, with very few educational advantages. Quarrelsome and low in appearance & manner.
While he must, because of educational handicaps, go through life as a servant or at best an underling, he vainly considers himself above his station in life and will be harsh & dominating but ineffectual if put in authority."
- Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 86.
Chandra in Purvashadha: [Adolph Hitler, Ernest Hemingway]
General Description of Purvashadha characteristics
General
You will have a lean & tall body. Your teeth will be very beautiful, ears long, eyes bright, waist narrow & arms long. In other words you have good attractive physical features.
Your intelligence is exemplary, but there is a tendency to jump to conclusions. No one can defeat you in arguments. You have extraordinary convincing power. You will not, under any circumstance, submit to others, whether you are right or wrong. On the one side, you can give a lot of advice -- but you cannot hear advice from others.
While you pretend to be courageous you cannot reach that state unless forced either by circumstances or by persons to show the requisite courage.
In decision making you are lacking. You find it difficult to make a decision even on small matters. Once aroused by instigation or argument you make decisions without thinking of the pros & cons of such action & you stick to that decision till the end. Even if you are completely wrong, nobody can change your decision. Such is your obstinate character.
You like to do a lot of things for others for nothing in return but you will be subjected to a lot of criticism. You derive maximum benefit from unknown persons. You cannot keep any permanent relationship with anybody.
If you can work with a particular aim with full sincerity you can reach the top of life. You hate external show. You are god fearing, honest, humble & far from hypocrisy. You can never think of doing anything which will disturb the progress of others.
You will be highly religious & always interested in religious acts. You are a good collector of antiques. You may also take interest in writing poetry.
Even though you can shine in almost all fields, you are particularly fit for a doctor's profession or fine arts. You are advised not to venture for any business unless you have dependable employees or managers. You will be attracted to the studies of occult philosophy & sciences. Up to 32 years of age will be a period of trial & error. Thereafter you slowly start climbing the ladder of success. Between 32 & 50 years of age will be very good.
You cannot enjoy any benefit from your parents. However, you will be lucky to have benefits from siblings, particularly from brothers. You will be spending most of your life in a foreign land. Your married life will be more or less happy. Your marriage may be delayed. In some cases, it has been noticed that marriage takes place in a most competitive way.
You are more inclined towards your spouse & in-laws. Even then, there will be frequent disharmony between you. At last, you find peace in the company of your spouse. You will be lucky to have talented & respectful children, who will bring name & fame to your family. There may be at most two children.
While your outward appearance is extremely good, your internal constitution may not be good, your health may not be good. It is quite often noticed that you are prone to a particular incurable disease. Still you will not care for your health.
You are prone to severe breathing trouble, bronchitis etc. Even in the state of critical illness you will not hesitate to jump into work which you feel should be completed. You may face problem with your thighs. You must take care about your lungs as you are liable to suffer from rheumatic pains
