Philosophy, and the stuff

Purva Phalguni Nakshatra

Purva Phalguni falls entirely in the sign of Leo and, as per mythology, is ruled by Lord Bhaga. Lord Bhaga is behind good fortune and is similar to the goddess Fortuna, who is associated with good luck. With this alone, I hope you get a sense of what this Nakshatra is all about.

Anything that happens in life and makes us say, “I had good luck at that time,” is relevant. You might get a great job because you applied just when there was a vacancy and the employer wanted someone with your profile. It can also be an opportunity to travel. You had no intention of travelling, but an opportunity suddenly came and you had the good fortune to visit a city or country.

Start-up owners know how difficult it is to run a business without access to funds. They may give up their jobs and then say, “Suddenly, out of nowhere, we found an investor.” I believe Lord Bhaga is behind such instances in our lives. He is known to bestow wealth and good fortune on us more than any other god.

Jupiter in Purva Phalguni

Jupiter in Purva Phalguni highlights the Nakshatra's Brahmin classification and its knowledge-backed creativity and activities. Within the creative sector, the person can be an art director. In finance, the person can be a financial advisor who uses knowledge and experience to guide others. In romance, the person can become a teacher or guide not only to one's partner, but also to friends and family.

Some people say, when I seek advice in my relationship, I meet this person. I always contact this person. That person is Jupiter Purva Phalguni. The person may inherently understand the dynamic involved in love affairs specifically.

Another interesting point is that Jupiter signifies growth opportunities while this Nakshatra represents good luck. Together, they lead to many opportunities. The person may repeatedly find opportunities to travel, be fortunate enough to gain admission to an Ivy League university, receive a promotion or be given a salary increase.

Growth in your personal and professional life is met with good luck. Altogether, this is a strong position.

The only downside to having this position is the person may always find oneself conflicted. Jupiter is directly linked to having a more philosophical view on life, which is moving away from the materialistic side. Whereas Purva Phalguni is all about having fun and pleasure on a material plane. The person may have this conflict.

The person may feel, okay, I'm going on this holiday, but I'm really, really not sure what I stand to gain from it. Yes, I'm investing money in stock markets and I'm making money, but what is the purpose of life? Such questions may be part of your thinking if you have this position, where you compare materialism with true happiness.
