Nakshatra/Star: Poorva Phalguni( 13°20’ – 26°40’ Leo )
Poorva Phalguni is the 11th Nakshatra/Star of Zodiac, also known as “The Star of Fortune”. Comfort is the keyword for this nakshatra. The symbols associated with this nakshatra are: a “swinging hammock, a couch and two legs of a bed” reflecting a place of rest and enjoyment. It is also symbolized by ShivaLingam( most commonly worshipped form of lord Shiva ).Fact that Shiva’s penis is worshipped more than Shiva as a whole,relates to penis being a regenerative symbol, representing creation and continuation of life, while Shiva as a whole is God of destruction. This is one of the reason, why Poorva Phalguni is also known as “The Star of Procreation’’ .The Shakti revealed here is “Prajanana Shakti”.
Bhagya( The God of fortune ) is its Ruling Deity. It bestows good fortune, welfare and fulfillment of consequences , attainment of rewards, rejection of evil, correction, cleansing, reformation etc. Surya and Shukra are two Grahas related to this Nakshatra. Shukra is its main Planetary Lord. Shukra’s involvement with this nakshatra is obvious from fact that main functioning of Poorva Phalguni is procreation. Shukra relates to force which produces attraction between opposite sexes.Surya, however, is connected with one’s sense of self and is not very comfortable with idea of losing one’s self to another, something which Shukra naturally stands for. Poorva Phalguni is a battleground for conflict between ego, love and harmony. It helps to know that venusian energy is stronger in comparison to solar energy here.Fact that Surya and Shukra are natural enemies makes it a volatile and turbulent nakshatra. Decision to be made here is how much of self should be sacrificed, in order for love and harmony to find their rightful place. Creativity is only common meeting point between Surya and Shukra. This is reason why this nakshatra is able to be creative and constructive despite a plethora of inner rages and tumults.
