365 Movies Challenge #316; Excision (2012) dir. Richard Bates Jr.: “Solely based on the definition, I don't know a teenager that doesn't profile as a sociopath.“ | “I'm ready to lose my virginity. It's a common misconception that having intercourse during menstruation is unhealthy. When I lose my virginity, I want to be on my period.“

Purva Bhadrapada is the place in the sky where all of society's collective fears are housed. It's Shakti awakening and the purging everything out through the spinal column for good.

You must experience your dark side before this purge can happen. It is the path of left hand tantra. The symbol is a man with two faces - one looking forward, and one backward. It is the point in the spirit where one doesn't do things because of their sensory rewards. They must look at every experience from the angle of divine dispassion, knowing that their loved ones will leave them, their money will run out, and their body will decay.

Most people like to do things that feel good. Most people avoid things that feel bad. But what if you did not experience attraction and aversion? How would you conduct yourself?

This is where the infamous two sidedness of Purva Bhadrapada comes into play.

Someone who is emotionally and spiritually detached from the material world has immense power.

They can become a great Yogi, with Siddhis and ruthless devotion to Spirit, like Ramakrishna Paramahansa.

Or, they can become the coldest serial killer with no remorse. Which is what this nakshatra is infamous for.

Purva Bhadrapada seeks the underlying spiritual truth behind everything. And it will stop at nothing to achieve this. Which is why you will see Purva Bhadrapada natives do the absolute extreme, just to see the other side. It doesn't care about social norms, family, friends, just pure truth.

There is a scene in Psycho that I think displays this. Anthony Perkins, who plays Norman Bates, had his moon in Purva Bhadrapada. After Bates does his killing in the shower, he disposes of his victim's car in the tar pit. He watches the car sink down, emotionless, like he's relishing in the experience of being a killer. Not for the sensation, but just to see what it's like.

And that's what makes Purva Bhadrapada so terrifying to many.

I'm also reminded of the Aghori. They are monks in India who hang out in cremation grounds, eat raw corpses, and adorn themselves in skulls and ash. They are immensely powerful and saturated in pure Spirit, devoted wholeheartedly to Kali and Bhairava. Through their practice they come to the realization, that death and life are the same. The gross parts of life and the exalted parts of life are the same. Ramakrishna would say, "Money is clay", and throw coins and soil into the river.

Many fear this nakshatra's extreme and often grotesque ways it manifests. It produces great spiritual avatars in the same breath that it produces the most heinous criminals and killers. But it is for one goal -- pure Jupiterian Sattva and Truth.
