The lord of Purva Phalguni and its dasha

Purva Phalguni is ruled by Venus. A Moon in Purva Phalguni at birth begins life in a Venus mahadasha, which runs 20 years in full, shortened by however much of Purva Phalguni the Moon had already crossed.

What Purva Phalguni signifies: the hammock; pleasure, rest, romance, creativity.

Knowing Purva Phalguni is the start. Where it sits in your chart is the reading.

Everything on this page is true for everyone born with a planet in Purva Phalguni, which is a very large number of people. Which planet you have there, which house it falls in, and when its dasha runs are what make it yours, and that needs your birth minute.

Read my own chart · Rs 258 + GST

10 written sections, 10 years forward, about 29 minutes to read. Written in five to ten minutes, in English or Hinglish, and emailed to you.

Not ready to spend Rs 258 on a site you found today?

You have no reason to trust a stranger's website with a birth chart yet, and we would rather you did not. Start with the free reading instead: it describes what you are like from your birth minute alone, and if it does not sound like you, you should not pay us anything about your future.

Whichever you start with, the Rs 79 is credited, so the full reading is Rs 179 afterwards and the total is the same either way. A price we quote you never goes up.

Already bought the back-cast? It comes off the price, so yours is Rs 179 + GST and it is one tap in your reports.

How this is calculated

Positions come from Skyfield and the JPL DE440s ephemeris, with our own Lahiri ayanamsa referred to the mean equinox of date. Every planet agrees with Swiss Ephemeris to under one arcsecond, and the lunar node to under a tenth of one. We publish that because nobody else in this market publishes theirs.

. The calculation is live; this date is when the writing on this page was last reviewed.
