Negotiates a network of profitable connections via dealing with money and pleasures.

Often a businessperson in finance, arts, design, diplomacy, balancing devices, religious vestments, or matters of interest to women.

Generally a somewhat easier placement for a female.

Earnings according to natal characteristics of Shukra.

Shukra-ruled Pūrvāṣāḍhā can be less easy for masculine nativities.

The early victories of Pūrvāṣāḍhā may produce glorious success in the first half of life. However, the masculine-valence Pūrvāṣāḍhā nativity tends to sputter and flutter in the second half of life. Thus the Pūrvāṣāḍhā male is advised to invest wisely.

Masculine nativities are apt to have catalyst via excesses involving self-destructive change via feminine agents

• due to Pūrvāṣāḍhā effect + Dhanus indriya-lagna : Shukra = rogesha-6 + Chandra = randhresha-8

Generally an easier placement for feminine nativities , who may enjoy voluptuous figures and accumulated treasury via the Vriddhi-pati-11 Shukra. The feminine figure may develop a stout framework in the later years, while treasury remains robustly stout as well.

Collections, hoards, accruals, financial asset storage is developed, expanded, enjoyed.

However, a feminine-valence nativity featuring Dhanus indriya-lagna may have some catalyst regarding catastrophic changes or upheaval in maternal behavior WRT one's own mother due to Chandra = randhresha-8 for Dhanus indriya-lagna

Feminine Nativities

Pūrvāṣāḍhā - Apah

Asadhash - Pooraadam - Purvasharha - Ambudaiva

BPL commentary

For Pūrvāṣāḍhā births of a feminine valence, the condition of sweetly musical, artistic, harmony-seeking, negotiating, balancing, arranging, designing, matching, pairing, sensually pleasuring akarshana-karaka Bright Beautiful Bhrigu may considerably affect the outcome.

For those born into the Shukra-ruled paradigm of Ambudaiva, feminine figures such as sisters, aunts, and wives, along with partnerships, sensual pleasures, arrangements, valuation, pricing, equity, bargains, trades, treaties, trusts, adjustments, justice, finance, artistic beauty, treasuries, alignment, attunement, harmonies , and music, may be especially influential.

Instructional guidance is provided by emissaries from the civilizations of Sinnuntu. Their purpose is expansion of inspirational beauty and melodious sound.

Inspirational diplomatic grace

Feminine births in Pūrvāṣāḍhā carry a special benevolence for music, beauty, treasuries, ornaments, design, and gracious relationships. Pūrvāṣāḍhā ladies are often dramatists, musicians, and entertainers. Often, they sing beautifully and play stringed instruments. They love to travel and serve as a muse to creative partners.

Feminine births in Asadhash tend to benefit from the sweetness and relationship orientation of Shukra. In addition to Shukra endowments in diplomacy, beauty, and finance, they may be splendid singers, theatrical designers, and graceful fashion models. Pūrvāṣāḍhā are often lyricists and poets, with a gift for playing many instruments. Their tonal arrangements may appeal to everyday folks. These ladies are self-indulgent and pure of heart.

Brihaspati represents their typically generous husbands and their characteristic faith. Typically, apah-born are attracted to sacred doctrine. Guru-influenced humanism and compassion often expands the range of inspirational roles that benefit women, musicians, and creative artists. Their complexion may feature a Guru-golden glow.

Like all Shukra-governed births, Apah-born must take care to avoid the misuse of drugs and alcohol. Ambudaiva's true purpose is inspirational guidance which leads to natural states of balance and pleasure. Yet, Shukra's sweet-seeking may also attract the false balance of intoxication.

Themes of generous arrangements, affluence, favor, harmony, blessing, beauty, artistry, and luxurious indulgence may contextualize Apah's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Pūrvāṣāḍhā - Apah

BPL comment:

Pūrvāṣāḍhā-pada-1 radical lagna

• Dhanus = indriya lagna (bodily baseline)
• [Simha - Leya] = Svamsha
• [Vrishabha - Urisha] controls the 10th-navamsha

Vrishabha on the 10th-navamsha suggests that the Pūrvāṣāḍhā-pada-1 nativity is typically professionally engaged with matters of Vrishabha such as visual arts, illustration, beautification, women's ornamentation and fashion, eyes-hair-face, mouth-teeth, flowers, perfumes and aromatic oils, sensual pleasures, speech, song and music, facial beauty, eyesight, banking and financial treasury, sweets and liquors, dairy foods and cattle.

As Shilpande notes, the genius of Apah often has an earthy, populist quality.

Any graha located in Vrishabha - Urisha 10th-navamsha are definitive for professional portfolio and public service. The public career may be subject to revaluation and reassessment because Professor Shukra indicates historical, financial, and aesthetic value.

If, within the Simha Svamsha , the nakshatra of the navamsha-lagna lies between 13:21 and 26:39 (Purvaphalguni) then the Shukra-ruled artistic, musical, beauty. and finance indicators are further strengthened.

• Dhanus = indriya lagna (bodily baseline)
• [Kanya - Parthya] = Svamsha
• [Mithuna - Dvamdva] rules the 10th-navamsha

The Pūrvāṣāḍhā-pada-2 nativity shows many of the typical Kanya - Parthya traits of service-ministry and orientation to health care, unbalanced arrangements, and mitigation of pollution (cleaning).

The Pūrvāṣāḍhā-pada-2 nativity is typically professional engaged with matters of communicative Mithuna - Dvamdva such as

• writing and editing, publications, conversation, announcements, declarations, documentation,
• media-messaging, evangelism, cinema, radio-television-internet, books-magazines-journals-blogs, travel itineraries,
• scheduling, planning, meetings, business administration, project management, conferences, seminars, presentations, instructional delivery,
• description, explanation, diagrams, photography, drawings, hand-craft, tool-use, apprenticeship.

Any graha located in Mithunaya 10th-navamsha are definitive for professional portfolio and public service. The definition of the public career may be subject to re-describing and re-explaining because Professor Budha indicates chattering.
