The brakes inside a pleasure star

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.

Saturn in Purva Phalguni

Saturn in Purva Phalguni is an interesting position because two opposites come together. Purva Phalguni is all about fun and pleasure, whereas Saturn is not. Saturn is about taking things very seriously. On dating profiles, people may say, “I want a partner who doesn't take life seriously.”

They are referring to a Purva Phalguni-like person they'd like to be with, someone who's fun, someone who's easygoing, not serious, whereas Saturn takes life, every decision seriously. Here, the person's pleasures of life can be uneasy, like climbing the mountain. Whilst you're climbing, every step is challenging, but when you reach the top, that is when you experience the sense of pleasure. You have worked towards having a sense of pleasure.

You've climbed for several hours for that moment of happiness. In my view, pleasure reached in this way is directly linked to Saturn in Purva Phalguni. This can apply to other aspects of life. You enjoy having to toil for a position.

“I worked and worked, and finally I have been made a senior manager. I worked hard on my application, and finally I'm getting to travel. I searched and searched, and finally I have found a life partner who I think is right for me.”

Saturn in Purva Phalguni combines hard work and perseverance with fun. These examples help explain what the combination is about. In love affairs, the person is going to make an effort, such as being willing to come and meet you in your neighbourhood or making the necessary arrangements.

The person is making sure that you are reaching back home comfortably. Saturn Purva Phalguni I classify as the same as having Saturn in the fifth house. The person takes life seriously when it comes to love life. Within the arts industry, the person can make an excellent editor.

I might create something spontaneously, then sit with it later and edit it. The editing can take much longer than the creation. This filtering process is a very Saturn-related activity. Saturn in Purva Phalguni can make an excellent editor and a master at it.

Within the finance sector, the person can make an excellent risk manager. You're putting on the brakes. Mars Purva Phalguni is going to stretch the limit. Invest everything and see what happens, whereas Saturn Purva Phalguni is going to apply the brakes.

Let's invest only 10% or 20%. Let's leave 80% invested safely. Risk managers are directly linked to Saturn in Purva Phalguni in my view. In my experience of reading charts, I have met people having Saturn Purva Phalguni working on the risk side of finance.

Altogether, I find Saturn Purva Phalguni to be a very strong position as things now are in balance. The person is no longer very vain, no longer very fierce, very Ugra, unnecessarily passionate. The person is also not very conservative as well, which is Saturn linked. It's a great balance, Saturn Purva Phalguni.

There's fun, but there's caution. That's how I'd summarize Saturn in Purva Phalguni.
