Purva Phalguni

Extrovert type of characters may become materialists, but introverts may become spiritual seekers. Shiva Lingam is one of the symbols of this powerful and creative Nakshatra (another two are swinging hammock and two front legs of bed).

Purva Phalguni gives the power of creative procreation on all levels (prajanan shakti) and wealth in general. Venus, the planetary signification of beauty and delight, rules this Nakshatra. It gives power of inspiration, social recognition and prestige. This Nakshatra is regarded as of brahmana varna, nature, – manushya (human), animal symbol, – rat, gunas (on 3 levels), – tamas/rajas/tamas. It has a feminine quality and has Kama as a primary goal of life. It corresponds to a North direction. "Taittiriya Brahmana" describes the fruits of worship as "One who makes appropriate offerings to Bhaga, to the Phalgunis, gains the best portion among his peers".
