Purva Phalguni Nakshatra: Meaning
Purva Phalguni, eleventh nakshatra of Simha, has the bed as its figure and Bhaga as its deity; Shukra's period, 20 years.
There are two Phalgunis, and purva means the first, the one that crosses the meridian first. Eleventh nakshatra, Purva Phalguni extends from 13°20 to 26°40 in Simha.
Its figure is a bed. In truth, the bed belongs to both Phalgunis at once, four stars arranged in a rectangle in the Lion, of which this one provides two. The description of double asterisms has moreover become muddled, because the character of the pair has been carried over onto each half.
Bhaga is its deity. Another list gives Bhaga and Aryaman to the two Phalgunis without fixing the order. The meaning of the name itself is unknown, the word also designating a variety of fig tree.
The bed evokes rest. Shukra presides over its period, which stretches over 20 years.
