Purva Ashadha nakshatra traits
The invincible star: confident, persuasive, idealistic and not easily discouraged.
Dasha at birth
If your Moon is in Purva Ashadha, your life begins in the Venus dasha, a 20-year period; how much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Purva Ashadha the Moon had travelled.
