Sun in Purva Bhadrapada ~ Purging and clearing a space

The Sun, the symbol of light and Self, is in Purva Bhadrapada from March 4th to 17th 2025, 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, which represents a firestorm or sacrifice – 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 to handle the fallout. 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. From March 9th to 14th, the Sun moves closely alongside sober Saturn in Aquarius, the planet of karma, and you may have an intense experience with a boss or older person.

You can defer your social life during this week and work on a long-term career goal that requires absolute focus. While the attention of an authority figure limits your freedom, you work through any interference and emerge with a clearer knowledge of your energy and professional boundaries. The picture lightens after March 14th, when the Sun comes together with retrograde Venus to give you a sociable touch and a potential romantic reward.
