Glazed Eyes

Purva Ashadas can be identified by the soft, plush volume in their faces. As well as a thick, elongated nose bridge, or a seamless nose bridge with a short, compact nose and tip that mimics the snout of a sloth. The nose often has a thick, rounded, flared or flat tip. Eyes tend to have a space-out, lazy or bedroom-eyes look, often wide, glossy or almond-eyed. Similar to Punarvasu and Purva Phalguni Nakshatra,  Purva Ashada can manifest as beauty that is Koala or Sloth-like. They can look very young no matter what age (long as they don’t do strong cosmetic procedures) and their beauty is often sought after. They lack a visible strain or harshness in their faces, like water, youth flows throughout their faces. A Purva Ashada will likely always look well hydrated, moisturized and well-rested in good health.

Sloths and koalas have broad, rounded snout-to-cheek areas without harsh angles. Purva Ashada features have that exact same soft, pillowy padding around the cheeks and nose, which instantly softens their expression and makes them look non-threatening, gentle, and plush. The lips can look naturally hydrated, plush, and pillowy, with subtle natural vertical lines that give them a soft, cushioned appearance rather than a flat or tight look.

Purva Ashada is symbolized by the Winnowing Basket (used to separate grain from chaff, requiring a patient, rhythmic, shaking motion) and its deity is Apas, the cosmic water element. They have the ability to separate the essential from the useless this can push them to success faster than others. They rarely exhibit the frantic, hyper-anxious "hustle" energy of other nakshatras.

Purva Ashadas are often referred to as “lazy” accused of floating by on "pretty privilege."

To outsiders, this lack of visible straining is easily misread as laziness or a lack of work ethic, and there beauty is often used as an attack against them. (e.g, Katseye Manon and Kourtney Kardashian are known for publicly being accused of being lazy compared to other women around them)

However, many often benefit from being in proximity to them and they often attract opportunities to them naturally– whether through connections, beauty and youth– they usually don't have to do much, so we can see shadow traits come out of Purva Ashada when beauty and youth starts to fade.

Purva Ashada natives often carry fat in their faces, especially in their youth. Similar to Pushya, they can have “pillow face”. A lot of Purva Ashadas tend to undergo cosmetic procedures or weight loss causing them to lose their natural plumpness, which can cause them to look as if they aged suddenly. Procedures like extra filler or buccal fat removal tend to almost take their youth from them, making them look drained, bloated or their features more mature and strong.  Venus and Jupiter has a strong effect on them, as in– too much or too little can have drastic effects.

Purva Ashada natives who maintain their natural features and beauty, tend to be praised and referenced as “Vampires who never age” or as if they drank from the fountain of youth. Many of them are praised for aging very gracefully, and if they gain weight it usually only adds to their beauty– giving them desired curves and soft plumpness to their figure.
