Purva Phalguni Nakshatra

Purva Phalguni Nakshatra meaning & nature

Purva Phalguni is ruled by Venus and presided over by Bhaga, the god of fortune, delight and marital bliss. Its symbol, the front legs of a bed (or a hammock), speaks of pleasure, rest, romance and enjoyment. Purva Phalguni natives are warm, charming, creative and fun-loving, with a gift for relaxation, art and the good things of life.
