Strengths
Natives of Purva-phalguni are characterized by their zest for life. You have a youthful energy, always eager for new experiences and ready to act. It’s almost impossible not to have fun in your company. Happiness seems to go hand in hand with your exuberant, carefree nature.
You seem to be good at everything you do. You are artistic, musical, and have a great love for all the fine arts. You are a true romantic. You have a refined sense of pleasure — you love to enjoy and you do it well. You may become wealthy, and are charitable with that wealth.
Anyone you meet will be struck by your air of elegance. You keep yourself clean and dress well, speak eloquently, and have a good sense of humor. You won’t be caught speaking raucously or acting unrefined in any way. Invariably soft-spoken, you create a sense of gentleness and sophistication.
Sociable by nature, you love to spend time with friends and make new acquaintances, and you’ll have a good deal of influence over those around you.
Purva-phalguni Careers
Your confidence and your creativity make you well-suited for leadership roles where your ideas can be utilized. Positions where you can use your skill with people will also be satisfying for you.
Some ideal professions include:
Actor/actress, musician, artist, or model
Entrepreneur, C-level executive, or manager
Teacher, professor, or personal trainer
Therapist or counselor
Fashion, cosmetics, photography, or the wedding industry
Weaknesses
Your need for excitement and your constant craving for sensual stimulation can get out of hand — it can make you impulsive, reckless, and excessively passionate. In your endless search for new experiences, you may be forced to explore increasingly questionable territory.
Right and wrong don’t hold a lot of sway over you, and you may be drawn to behavior that could be harmful to yourself or to others just for the novelty of it. You may behave promiscuously, overly eager for sexual pleasure. You have a tendency towards addiction and indulgence. Money can pass too quickly and too extravagantly through your hands.
Since pleasure is your primary motivation, you can be lazy and unmotivated when it comes to activities that aren’t particularly enjoyable. If you give in to this inclination, practical tasks will be left undone and your life could become unstable.
Vanity is one of your greatest weaknesses, and you can come across as entitled or pretentious. You generally experience good fortune in your life — talented, attractive, and charismatic, you often feel like you’re on top of the world. Be conscious of the privilege you experience or you may use it as an excuse to look down on others.
Purva-phalgunis will ultimately experience greater satisfaction in life by cultivating humility and gratitude, and grounding themselves by setting boundaries for their sensual pleasures.

Purva-phalguni’s Four Quarters ( #Padas)
Each nakshatra is divided into four quarters, also known as padas, of 3:20 degrees each. These quarters are based on a 1/9th divisional chart, known in Sanskrit as navamsha.
The moon’s position at your time of birth determines the quarter in which you are born.
First Quarter (13:20-16:40 degrees Leo): Leo. You have a regal presence and an impressive strength of will. You are opinionated and can be egoistic, and demonstrate a fiery intensity when you feel challenged. Your ambitions could take you far in life.
Second Quarter (16:40-20:00 degrees Leo): Virgo. You have a calming, grounding effect on the world around you. Because of your practical and balanced outlook, you deal well with stressful situations. Hard work doesn’t faze you. You have a natural talent for writing.
Third Quarter (20:00-23:20 degrees Leo): Libra. Your soft heart makes you more compassionate than other Purva-phalgunis might be. You like to help people, and would do well as a counselor — a role which you fall into almost automatically. You are generally relaxed and are highly creative.
Fourth Quarter (23:20-26:40 degrees Leo): Scorpio. You are happy to make sacrifices for the sake of the common good. Like a hero of old, you are virtuous and courageous in the face of danger. You can be intense, and may experience more hardships than other Purva-phalgunis.
