Purva Phalguni

Purva Phalguni is the hammock at the crossroads — the nakshatra of rest, pleasure, and fruition. Ruled by Venus and blessed by Bhaga, the god of marital bliss, this star brings creativity, romance, and social grace. Purva Phalguni natives have a gift for joy. They know how to rest, how to celebrate, and how to make life beautiful. The shadow is a tendency toward indulgence and avoidance of life's harder edges.
