Strengths
Persons born in the asterism of Purva-bhadrapada are dutiful and determined. They have clear ideals and are willing to work hard to manifest them in the world. Their enthusiasm and visionary qualities make them natural leaders. With their keen sense of logic and powerful oratory skills, they are able to rally others around a common cause.

Purva-bhadra natives are often religiously inclined. However, they tend to seek the essence of religion and may not give as much importance to dogma or ritual. They detest hypocrisy and superficial modes of thinking. They are intelligent, learned, and scholarly, and they employ these traits to carve out their own life path.

You are independent and eccentric in your approach to life. This makes your life interesting, though it may also make your journey more difficult than others who simply follow the beaten path.

Purva-bhadra Careers
Persons born in Purva-bhadrapada can do well in careers that are dynamic and offer a variety of engagements. They have a need for a certain degree of autonomy in their career, but they are good at making money from whatever occupation they choose.

Some ideal professions include:

Entrepreneur
Priest, monk, mystic, astrologer, or psychic
Reformer or revolutionary
Detective or consultant
Weaknesses
Due to their philosophical outlook, Purva-bhadras can sometimes adopt a cynical attitude. If they cannot reconcile their high ideals with the realities of this world, they may become gloomy, depressed, or anxious. They may be harsh and critical with others.

In the face of uncertainty, Purva-bhadra natives may waver in their determination. This is due to their tendency to doubt their own capabilities and also an inborn fear of failure. When defeated, they may become angry and frustrated rather than seeing the experience in a positive light.

You keep to yourself, and others may find it difficult coming close to you. If you are unable to control your stress levels, you may suffer from poor health and mental issues. However, with the right friends and mentors, and with good physical and spiritual habits, you can easily avoid the pitfalls of your lower nature.

Other Personality Traits
Your happiness is inconsistent. The nakshatra of Purva-bhadra spans the zodiac signs of Aquarius and Pisces, which have somewhat conflicting characteristics. For this reason it is difficult for you to settle into a single, stable mode of life. Thus you cannot have lasting happiness on the material platform. However, this can be a powerful impetus to pursue spiritual perfection.

You are good at making money. Your independent nature helps you easily find ways to make money no matter what circumstances you find yourself in.

You wish to escape from the normal, expected course of life. You have no interest in riding the conveyor belt of modern life — grade school, then high school, then college, then work, then marriage, then children, then retirement, then old age, and finally death.

You have no permanent home. Your desire for variety and excitement in life may prevent you from settling in a permanent home. Or you may have many homes over the course of your lifetime.
