People born in #PurvaAshadha have a good physique with a tall body. They are intelligent, convincing, tend to get into arguments with others and prove their intelligence through the arguments. But a poorly placed mercury in a duel sign results in these people being in double minds while taking any important decision. While they are good at advising others, they lack the necessary logical reasoning to take a well thought out decision. But there is a tendency to make decisions on impulse and these generally result in making a fool of these people.
A strong Mangala (Mars) in the natal chart results in making an argumentative, obstinate and quarrelsome personality. They have very close friends. If only these people can overcome their argumentative nature and learn how to make decisions properly, they can rise to almost any levels. They are sincere in their efforts and enough persistence on their part can make miracles.
Compared to the males, the females born in this Nakshatra are sincere and take every step after considering the pros and the cons. They have a determination to lead the group, wherever they are. Their natural intelligence, coupled with these qualities, can make some of the best managers.
They are religious and god-fearing people. A good combination of Shukra (Venus) with Buddha (Mercury) can result in making a good poet. They enjoy varied interests, ranging from ancient art to music to mystics and occult sciences. But these interests are never properly planned till the end of young age. It is only in the middle age that Poorva Ashadha born seriously start thinking about pursuing any of these interests.
