Fierce Water

Ends up proving they were right after all

Purva Ashadha · पूर्वाषाढा

Being told "it can't be done" makes your eyes light up. That conviction turns into words that move people, and often it actually happens.

Mythology and origins

Purva Ashadha is ruled by the Apas, goddesses of the waters. Water washes everything clean and revives it — and, when dammed, always finds its way over the bank.

It sits in the middle of Sagittarius. Ashadha means "the invincible," and this star pairs with the next. Its symbol is a winnowing fan, which blows away the chaff and leaves only the grain.

So tradition sees this star as one who gains strength from being told "it can’t be done" and ends up proving itself right. Its power to move people with words and persuasion is read here too.
