Pūrvāṣāḍhā - The Invincible One

Pūrvā means 'former' and āṣāḍhā means 'invincible'. It is ruled by the goddess of the waters, which reflects a need for purification and re-invigoration. This grants a sense of optimism, exuberance, and joy. One of its symbols is the elephant's tusk, representing the ability to plough ahead and get through something, while another is a fan which is used to keep its passionate nature cool and refreshed.

When the Moon transits Pūrvāṣāḍhā, it's a good day for water therapy, herbal remedies, and protection rituals.
