About Purva Phalguni

Purva Phalguni lies from 13°20′ to 26°40′ Leo and is ruled by Venus. Its deity is Bhaga, who brings delight, good fortune and happiness in marriage, and its symbol is the front legs of a bed or a hammock: rest, pleasure and union. It is the star of enjoyment after effort.

Purva Phalguni is warm, sociable and creative, a nakshatra of the arts, romance and celebration. It is classed as fierce (ugra) in the muhurat grouping, which in practice means it suits bold and decisive undertakings more than gentle ones, even though its own nature is pleasure-loving.

Padas and navamsa

Four quarters of 3°20′

Each pada falls in a navamsa sign, used to read the D9 chart and to colour the nakshatra for anyone whose Moon or ascendant sits there.
