Pūrva phĀlgunī - The creative One

Pūrva means 'former' and phālgunī means ‘reddish lady’. This is a pleasure-seeking, creative sign, with a tendency to overindulge. It is ruled by the god of good luck and enjoyment, reflecting a need for enjoyment and luxury. One of its symbols is the Śiva Lingam, representing the creative aspect of sexual desires, and the regenerative qualities of sexuality. ​

When the Moon transits Pūrva Phā​lgunī, it's a good day for pleasure-seeking and entertainment, creativity, and relaxation.
