The Midday Garden

So serious about having fun that people gather around

Purva Phalguni · पूर्व फाल्गुनी

Knowing how to rest is your talent. Set up a gathering and people come, and the sense that makes the room enjoyable actually produces money.

Mythology and origins

Purva Phalguni is ruled by Bhaga, god of enjoyment and good fortune, who hands each person their "share." He is also said to preside over the joy of marriage.

It lies in the back of Leo. Its symbol is the front legs of a bed — the place to rest at the end of the day. It pairs with the next star, Uttara Phalguni, to make a single bed.

So the star is read as knowing how to rest and how to enjoy, and gathering people through that enjoyment — a star that knows how to take its share of life.
