Description
The Purva (initial) Bhadrapada (good\lucky\blessed foot or step) lunar mansion gets its name from one of the Rudras (storm gods), Aja Ekapada (‘one footed goat’), who is often seen as a parable for lightning hitting the ground. This multifaceted mansion has three different symbols: The first is a sword that symbolizes both the determination and drive as well as the destructive nature of this mansion. The second is a man with two faces that symbolizes hypocrisy and duplicity on the one hand and a hidden, secret side on the other. The last one is the front part of a funeral pyre, literally embodying the adage “one foot in the grave”, and showing this mansions ability to walk between the worlds.
Famous people with Purva Bhadrapada prominent in their charts: Hillary Clinton, Catherine Zeta-Jones, George Soros, Steve Jobs, Hugh Hefner, Martin Luther King Jr. and Hiram Maxim (Moon), Ulysses S. Grant, Casanova and Queen Elizabeth II (Venus), John D. Rockefeller and Marilyn Monroe (Mars), Johannes Kepler and J. R. R. Tolkien (Jupiter), Isaac Newton (Jupiter and Saturn) and Mata Hari (Rahu).
