Saturn in Purva Bhadrapada ~ Building your love life

Saturn, the planet of karma and success, enters pada (part) two of Purva Bhadrapada in Aquarius from May 12th to August 18th, 2024.

Purva Pada Two relates to Taurus navamsha, ruled by Venus, which gives you a slow and deliberate quality that harmonizes with Saturn’s cautious and constructive style. You can build a new structure in your life and also make it comfortable and long-lasting.

This nakshatra pada has great durability but is also fixed and stubborn, especially when it comes to your love life. You remain loyal to your partner and friends, but have your own mind on how you wish to move your relationship forwards.

You may think about a lasting commitment at this point and building a partnership from the ground upwards. Purva Bhadrapada’s symbol of a two-faced person may see you receiving mixed messages in the company, and you have to decide how tricky behaviour contrasts with this more straightforward approach.

Saturn and this nakshatra have an affinity for their shared purging and ascetic qualities, however, and this transit suits stripping your life down and focusing on what is truly most important. Purva’s Shakti, ‘The Power of Spiritual Fire’ sees you cleansing old goals and perhaps past relationship experiences before moving on to the next level.

This asterism’s ruler, Ajaikapada, is a form of Rudra, the Storm God, who represents a firestorm, and your social life may go through a similar transformation, as you decide on quality over quantity.

Pada Two of a nakshatra also relates to the Artha, or Right Livelihood tendency, and earning money and security in an ethical and enlightened way.
