Those with the Moon in Purva Phalguni are warm, charming and sociable, with a love of beauty, music, art and comfort. They enjoy good company, celebration and the finer things in life, and they have a gift for making others feel welcome.
Venus gives them creativity and affection, and the Sun in Leo gives confidence and a love of the stage. They give generously to the people they love and work best when they feel appreciated.

A love of comfort can turn into laziness or self-indulgence. They can be vain, dependent on praise and prone to overspending. They may avoid hard work or difficult conversations, and are easily hurt when they feel unappreciated.

HEALTH
Purva Phalguni is linked with the heart, lower back and reproductive organs. Those with the Moon here may be prone to heart and circulation trouble, back pain, kidney and urinary problems, and complaints that come from overindulgence.
REMEDY FOR PURVA PHALGUNI NATIVES
Worship Bhaga, the god of marital happiness and fortune, and Goddess Lakshmi or Goddess Parvati. Friday is the day of Venus, the ruler of this nakshatra, so prayers and charity on Fridays are especially helpful.
Giving gifts, and helping at weddings and celebrations, is a good way to use the energy of this nakshatra. Chant “Om Bhagaya Namah” 108 times when the Moon transits Purva Phalguni. This is believed to ease afflictions.
