About this pada

Pada 1 of Purva Phalguni runs from Simha 13°20′ to Simha 16°40′ (3°20′ in all). This pada lies in Simha; its navamsa is Simha, ruled by Sun. The nakshatra's lord is Venus, so a birth in this pada begins with the Venus mahadasha. In the avakahada chakra (tradition), the name syllable of this pada is 'मो' (Mo). Here the sign and the navamsa are the same (Simha); this is called vargottama.

What tradition holds

Astrology associates Purva Phalguni with joy, company, the arts and an appreciation for the good things of life. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: self-confidence, generosity, the ability to lead, and standing by one's word. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
