Placement: 26° 40’ of Leo to 10° 00’ of Virgo

Element: #Fire (Agni)

Pushkara Navamsha/Bhaga: 1st and 4th pada/09°

​

In accordance with Vedic texts, the #nakshatra is considered highly significant as it is where several Gods and Goddesses, including #Shiva and #Parvati, were #married. As #marriage is considered the most sacred bond, this nakshatra is considered ideal for commencing various contracts and agreements. Pandits (Astrologers) always choose this nakshatra for auspicious activities such as marriage and business inauguration. Its connections to God Shiva make it all the more important.

​

Deity: Its deity is #Aryaman, one of the twelve #Adityas (Solar Deities), is a friendly, social, dedicated, and loyal deity. This asterism serves as a bridge between the natural fifth house of Leo and the natural sixth house of Virgo.

Symbol: This nakshatra symbolizes the "back legs of the #bed" and represents #relaxation and comfort, as well as the later stages of deep sleep, wakeful state, and physical/mental actions, unlike its predecessor.

Ruler: This nakshatra is ruled by the #Sun and represents a balance between purpose and action. It is the second Sun-ruled nakshatra.

Animal: It is associated with the " #bull", an animal that symbolizes hard work and stability. It is domesticated, friendly, supportive, and protective. The bull is strongly connected to agriculture and is also associated with God Shiva, where it is known as "Nandhi," the vahan of God Shiva. Despite its calm demeanor, the bull possesses a great deal of physical energy that is utilized only when necessary.

​

Guna: This nakshatra is tamasic in nature, with a greater focus on shared material pleasure and abundance.

#Power: "Chayani #Shakti" symbolizes the ability to attain prosperity by uniting with others, such as through partnership or marriage, and accumulating mental, physical, and financial wealth.

​

General attributes: Individuals born under the Sun-ruled nakshatra are known to be supportive, hardworking, and fiercely independent. Their strengths lie in administration and management, as Sun and Mercury are connected to these traits. Although this nakshatra is associated with royalty, those born under it understand the struggles of the working class. Their lives will revolve around making and fulfilling contracts. However, it is important for them to take breaks and relax, as balance is crucial. This nakshatra is quite worldly, and its natives prioritize helping others over traditional religious practices. They possess a complex understanding of God, which often leads to deep introspection. It's important to note that these are general qualities, and individual experiences may vary.

​

The first and fourth padas are particularly good due to their association with Jupiter (Pushkara Navamsha), although all four padas have their own strengths.

Religious importance: The Tamil Nadu celebration of "Panguni Uttiram," which marks the marriage of the deities Shiva and Parvati, highlights the significance of this nakshatra.

#ADITI: The #Boundless #Goddess, Mother of the #Adityas (The #Rig #Vedic #Gods)
Aditi is not known for having a specific function, and unfortunately not much is known about her personality and her appearance is not described, besides being “Red hued like a dappled mare”. One thing we do know is that she is a supremely #ancient goddess, being the mother of the Rig Vedic pantheon. The circumstances of her #birth are certainly mysterious. The contradictory verses suggest she is not just a singular goddess, but rather a #ethereal presence, an ancient #soul that pervades the various realms, changes form at will, and perennially comes again to take birth. In the Rig Vedic times she was called Aditi, the Boundless Goddess, in the Puranic times she was called #Adi-Shakti, the #Primordial #Power. Again she was born as the daughter of #Daksha, taking the form of #Sati / #Parvati, the wife of #Shiva. Today, Shakta Hindus call her "Mother of the #Universe", or simply, "Mother".

#Jyeshtha or #Jyeshta #Nakshatra, which is from 16°40' to 30°00' degrees in Scorpio sign, is the 18th Nakshatra in the zodiac as per Indian astrology. The symbol for Jyeshta Nakshatra is an #Umbrella or a round protective #Talisman. An Umbrella stands for protection and capacity to cast a shadow of protective influence. A Talisman, apart from being a physical expression of an understanding of occult or hidden forces, also indicates either providing or receiving protection from some danger or adversity. This links the Jyeshta Nakshatra closely with the idea of protective influence.

And the presiding deity of Jyeshta Nakshatra is Lord #Indra, the king or chief of the gods. Indra is the eldest of #Adityas, the celestial gods and sons of #Aditi. Hence called Aditya(s). Many hymns of Veda honour the Indra for his daring deeds, power, fame, glory and praiseworthiness, all of these qualities are hence associated with Jyeshta Nakshatra.

These good indications and positive traits from lord Indra and symbols also signify Jyeshta Nakshatra's association with valour, energy and fame.

The word 'Jyeshtha' means 'the eldest'. Jyeshtha is a #Sanskrit word for the #eldest. And this lunar mansion is also known to be as eldest of all 27 lunar mansions.

#UttaraPhalguni #Nakshatra, starting at 26°40' degrees in Leo zodiac sign and span up to 10°00' in Virgo zodiac sign, is the 12th Nakshatra in the zodiac as per Indian #Vedic astrology. Since Uttara Phalguni is a part of greater asterism Phalguni, this lunar mansion shares the traits and qualities with Purva Phalguni Nakshatra, the other nakshatra is which is also the part of #Phalguni #asterism.

The symbol for Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra is a #bed. If Uttara Phalguni is somehow strong and prominent in a birth chart, there may be gain or scandal or both through lustful and amorous adventures.

Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni being similar in many ways, their general indications are to a great extent interchangeable and complementary. This Nakshatra also indicates the people one approaches for favours and boons. And the patronage one is likely to receive in life and lastly, one's intimates and very close friends.

Same as Purva Phalguni, there are two ruling deities for this Nakshatra. The ruling deities for Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra are the two #Adityas, #Bhaga and #Aryaman. But some other astrological work says that this Nakshatra is more connected with Bhaga. Therefore, in the presiding deity distribution, we give more weightage to Bhaga.

The presiding deity Bhaga rules fortune, luck and wealth and prosperity. While the Aryaman is associated with life partners, close companion or friend and events like marriage. The things which mostly makes this Nakshatra deviate from the previous one is the planetary ruler. #Sun being the ruler for Uttara Phalguni imparts more qualities of Leo, the Simha Rashi. Thought it give intelligence, along with the tendency of indiscreet behaviour. The capacity for enjoying life still remains for Uttara Phalguni native. All the characteristics and significance of Purva Phalguni Nakshatra like prosperity, conjugal bliss in marriage and relaxation do remain here as a shadow, both being symbolised by their similar symbol of a bed.

#PurvaPhalguni #Nakshatra, which is from 13°20' to 26°40' degrees in Leo sign - the Simha Rashi, is the eleventh 11th Nakshatra in the zodiac as per #Vedic astrology. Purva Phalguni is a part of large #constellation #Phalguni. Being the first part of the constellation Phalguni, this Nakshatra is called Purva Phalguni. This Nakshatra is also written as #Poorva Phalguni Nakshatra. The symbol for Purva Phalguni Nakshatra is a #bed or a #hammock. The hammock is a bed, made of strong cloth or rope, which is hung up between two trees or poles.

The ruling deity of Purva Phalguni Nakshatra is #Aryaman, as said by some while some others believe #Bhaga to be the deity for this Nakshatra. We personally are of the opinion that both, Aryaman and Bhaga, partially rules this nakshatra. Both, Aryaman and Bhaga, are #Adityas. They are sons of #Aditi, who might not be the goddess, but is the #mother #of #gods or devas. Aryaman signifies people like a life partner, partner, companion or close friend. Hence, he is a #God who is also responsible for maintaining marital #happiness and protecting conjugal bliss. Whereas Bhaga is a God who is associated with Bhagya, the fortune, wealth and prosperity. Alternatively, this Nakshatra has also linked with one another deity, Lord #Shiva. The association, in this case, is made with Shiva Lingam, representing the potential energy of Lord Shiva.

The Hammock itself is the symbol of rest, relaxation and enjoyment. While Bhaga is luck or fortune personified. So a Purva Phalguni native tend to be carefree. These people are unwilling to worry and prefer to rely on their luck. Such an attitude of Purva Phalguni person may benefit the areas of health, but encourage impetuousness and a lack of forethought and planning. The Association with deity Aryaman adds love and affection, sexual passion and sensual pleasure to this Nakshatra. The symbol of Hammock even suggests the quality of certain inertia, an ability to remain in motion or stay motivated for very long, which may create an ongoing and lasting craving for some kind of stimulations. The Shiva Lingam contributes to this Nakshatra, the act of creations. This makes Purva Phalguni a creative Nakshatra. Therefore, Purva Phalguni also indicates creative arts. This lunar mansion is traditionally said to promote fame, renown, and the acquisition of wealth and good fortune through personal merit and charisma.

All four Purva Phalguni Pada are in Simha Rashi, the zodiac sign of Leo. The first Pada falls in Leo navamsa with the ruling planet Sun. The second Pada is in Virgo navamsa ruled by Mercury. The third Pada falls in Libra navamsa and is ruled by planet Venus. The fourth navamsa falls in Scorpio navamsa and ruled by Mars.

Moon in Purva Phalguni Nakshatra: When Purva Phalguni Nakshatra is the birth star, it grants a sweet speech and generosity in presenting liberal gifts. This nakshatra as a birth star also shows a habit of wandering and can be related to government service.

The intense battles of Magha Nakshatra end in Poorva Phalguni Nakshatra where there are naturalness, relaxation and pleasure. There is calmness after the storm in this lunar mansion. The most recreational of all Nakshatras, Poorva Phalguni offers shelter from the travails of life. The sense of self has been firmly established and now is the time for self-absorption to attain its climactic stage. The focus is solely on the self and with the influence of the zodiac sign of Leo, Poorva Phalguni becomes the most theatrical of the Nakshatras.

The natives of Poorva Phalguni displays a strong preference towards being liked and noticed by others and desire accomplishment in their respective fields. Hence, most of them fall prey to aspiration. For Poorva Phalguni natives, it is hard to acquire new learning as they cannot look beyond their existing scope. They have a self-indulgent eccentric nature that performs within the existing social standards.

Poorva Phalguni by nature is a cruel Nakshatra and is capable of ruthlessness, especially when an external force interferes with its state of relaxation. It is true even for the cases when they are deprived of the amount of attention they deserve. Despite their ego and vindictiveness, Purva Phalguni natives are delighted at appreciating the subtle benevolences of life.

Poorva Phalguni radiates the warmth of Simha Rashi, with a laid back attitude and patrons of life's pleasures even when luxury to them is unaffordable. A lot of their time is devoted to self-exploration and making themselves comfortable. Poorva Phalguni is related to 'Prajanana Shakti' or the power to procreate and symbolised the male above and the female below. The macrocosmic/microcosmic union of the polar opposites stands for family and procreation. A Purva Phalguni, if in such conditions of a birth chart, may even relate to marital bliss and marriage life.
