Purva Ashadha is the 20th nakshatra, spanning 13°20' – 26°40' Sagittarius. Its symbol is the elephant tusk or fan, its presiding deity Apas, and its Vimshottari lord Venus. The invincible: early victories, conviction, and purifying zeal.

People born with the Moon in Purva Ashadha begin life in a Venus mahadasha, which colours the opening chapter of their story. The gana is Manushya, which matters in traditional match-making.
