Purva Ashadha is the twentieth nakshatra, in the middle of Sagittarius. Its name means 'the undefeated': early victory, buoyant conviction, and the power to declare and persuade. Those born under it are often optimistic and hard to defeat, patient enough to wait out a bad spell and persuasive enough to win almost any argument; ambitious for a comfortable life, if sometimes given to showing off or to hopes a size too large. The winnowing fan is its symbol — conviction that sorts true from false and carries the day.
Presided over by Apas, the waters, with the winnowing fan as its symbol — separating grain from chaff. Its Vimshottari lord is Shukra.

Span 13°20′–26°40′ Dhanu; lord Venus in Jupiter's sign — conviction made attractive, the orator's ground. Padas fall in Simha through Vrishchika navamshas.
