The Sun, symbol of light and Self, is in Purva Bhadrapada from March 4th to 18th 2026, the nakshatra lying across the zodiacal signs of Aquarius and Pisces.

Your energy and focus take on a new urgency, and Purva Bhadrapada’s Shakti, Power of Spiritual Fire, gives this transit a ritual, cleansing quality. Purva’s ruling deity, Ajaikapada, is a form of Rudra, the Storm God, who represents a fire-storm or sacrifice, where chanting, meditation, and fasting are precious for self-development, as long as you don’t take this attitude too far. This nakshatra’s other symbol, the front side of a Bed or Cot, shows you clearing psychic space to let new status and possessions in.

Try to tie up old business before moving on with a new effort – the effects of any hasty, short-term decision may linger and leave you repercussions to handle. The Sun illuminates wherever it lands, and sunlight is the most powerful disinfectant, so you can beam a light into the dark and unconscious corners of your world. Sun currently moves with clever Mercury and contrarian Rahu in this nakshatra, and you are interested in modern thinking and perhaps political campaigning.

You come at a problem or question from a different angle, the more radical the better, and you may learn lessons of leadership. You are concerned with bigger issues than simply your own, and become concerned with fitting in with a fringe or unconventional group, while still keeping your individual style. Up to March 14th, Sun also receives the support of its planetary friend, expansive Jupiter, and you are finally ready to move forward with a plan that may first have been introduced to you last year.
