Purva Phalguni

Mythology

The symbol is the front legs of a bed — rest, lover, night. The deity is Bhaga: god of bliss and good fortune, but most of all linked with pleasure. Venus rules; passion, art, festivity. The "bed" symbol stresses not sex but ease — the place where love and art meet.

Astrological reading

Moon in Purva Phalguni gives a capacity for pleasure and creative rest — less work than creative play. Artist, performer, host. Risk: laziness and constant pursuit of fun; avoidance of building serious structure.
