Astrological significance
Ashadha is given great importance in Vedic astrology. This month is ruled by the powerful nakshatras Punarvasu, Pushya and Ashlesha, each of which has its own energy.

The first nakshatra of Ashadha Punarvasu is related to rebirth, transformation and coming back from the ashes. It is a time to shed the old and embrace the new and the real us that exists within us. The second nakshatra Pushya is highly regarded for its protective and nurturing qualities that provide a sense of shelter, security and happiness. Ashlesha is the last nakshatra of the month and is associated with the serpent deities. It is believed to bring courage, energy and the ability to overcome adversities.
