Nakshatra 11 of 27
Purva Phalguni
Purva Phalguni is rest, pleasure and creativity. It is warm, sociable and affectionate, and it can choose ease over effort.
A nakshatra is one of the 27 lunar mansions of Vedic astrology. Yours is the one the Moon stood in when you were born, measured in the sidereal zodiac. Purva Phalguni spans 13°20′ Leo to 26°40′ Leo.
Its ruler, Venus, also opens the first of your life chapters (the Vimshottari dasha) if your Moon sits here.
Each nakshatra splits into four padas of 3°20′, 108 in all. Each pada falls in a navamsa sign, so the same mansion can lean four slightly different ways.
