Chandra in Bharani

+ Chandra in Purvaphalguni

+ Chandra in Purvaashadha

Purvaphalguni

• ruled by luxurious, sensual Shukra

• 13Simha40 - 26Simha39

Radix Moon in Purvaphalguni = "Best Pink Portion"

(Shukra-Surya-Yoni)

• Wants (Chandra) to enjoy the best in life.

Emotional need for relationships in which one holds political or creative authority. "Everyone is equal, but some are more equal than others."

Naturally assumes a pleasantly glamorous center-stage ritual role in whatever area of expertise has been developed by Surya. Calmed and validated by theatrical "Pomp and Circumstance". Needs ceremonial recognition of their bright glittering genius. Most comfortable and feeling settled when blessed with a gracious and luxurious lifestyle.

Purvaphalguni-Chandra suffers from a certain degree of inner conflict about the nature of love and relationships.

One is trying to work out an unstable treaty between the two adversaries self-centered Surya and relationship-oriented Shukra.

Emotional need for loving partnerships (Shukra) but also an equal need to be a celebrity figure who is often in the dramatic center of attention.

• Surya creates brilliance, enthusiasm, self-reflexivity, political instincts, and drama

• Shukra pursues the path of sensual pleasure, diplomacy, peer relationships, negotiations, and acquisition of material wealth

Emotional Negotiator: Self (Ravi) vs Other (Shukra)

A difficult but interesting placement. Shukra tries to balance two persons but Surya tries to put all the attention upon one person.

Similar in emotionally driven wealth-acquiring and harmony-seeking behaviors to the other two Shukra-ruled nakshatra Bharani and Purvaashadha .

• Bharani negotiates Mangala-Shukra, which is not overly difficult due to the neutral relationship between Kuja and Shukra.

• Purvaashadha negotiates Guru-Shukra, which can indeed be problematic due to the adversarial pairing of two competing benefics.

• Uniquely, the Purvaphalguni native seeks an awkward path toward emotional wholeness and belonging (Chandra): validation (Shukra) via praise for exceptional individual brilliance (Surya).

Relationship Drama

Here in the center-stage hot zone of Simha where the limelight is always turned on, Surya the rashi pati and Shukra the nakshatra pati have to "duke it out".

The result is usually abundant "relationship drama" (Shukra-Surya).

• the native is rarely satisfied with a single partnership since no one single person can provide the amount of praise and attention that this native emotionally requires.

• The result is usually a series of romantic partnerships which fascinate the public and provide plenty of material for literary publications.

Literary Genius

The zodiacal span = Purva-phalguni Chandra and Uttara-phalguni Chandra denotes many famous writers.

Purvaphalguni Chandra particularly denotes writers who are able to dramatize "lights and delights".

If Budha, bhava-3, and bhava-5 are well disposed, Purvaphalguni Chandra may possess a natural ability to apprehend and communicate the sensual-material (Shukra) empowerments (Surya) acquired via royal birth, magical intelligence (tantra), personal charisma, or a light-centric view of the universe.

• magical-fiction writer = J. K. Rowling

• tantric philosophy and instructions = H. H. Dalai Lama

• esoteric philosophy and creativity instructions = Rudolf Steiner

• philosopher, professor Bertrand Russell

Dramatic Theater, and Celebrity Politics

Intelligent drama of Surya combines with Shukra's beauty and grace. Purvaphalguni Chandra is a natural fit for careers in theatre and politics.

Public speaking and mingling with the rich-and-famous are two favorite activities of these charismatic personalities.

Purvaphalguni does need the attention emotionally - there is a deep hunger for applause. However the native is typically gifted with the natural ability to attract what one needs from the public; and public life with its one-to-many relationships is often quite satisfying.

• A lack of satisfaction is more often felt in private life with one-to-one relationships, where Shukra's cool equality between partners does not provide the emotional "rush" of momentary deification sought by the Surya-ruled nakshatra placements.

• philosopher, professor Bertrand Russell - four marriages, very numerous liaisons, delighted in public admiration

Purvaphalguni's ideal relationship arrangement = self-centered + peer-interactive

Surya and Shukra = mortal enemies. These two adversaries constantly compete for control of the native 's core sense of well-being.

Shukra claims the path of Love-as-Pleasure-with-Other, while Surya demands Love-as-Sole-Channel-of-Divine-Power.

Thus the ideal arrangement delivers both:

• = "one to one" intimate partnerships (often several of these)

• plus a steady dose of the essential "one-to-many" relationships that a stage performer develops with the audience, fans, readership, followers, supporters, electorate, etc.

Although other graha must be considered in making recommendations, often the best lifestyle involves a core intimate union such as a marriage, combined with occasional or frequent appearances in the spotlight.

For example,

• although UK-Princess Anne is in many ways a private, even reclusive personality, she supports hundreds of charities. In her service as an iconic figure. She attends hundreds of fundraising events and ceremonies.

• The result is many, many hours each year located at the center of public attention, often on camera, and as the singular focus of the audience attention, receiving congratulatory applause.

• Similar observations could be made of the self-declared shy person J. K. Rowling, author of the hugely popular Harry Potter book series, who also follows an annual schedule of dozens of public appearances at which she is the fascinating center of attention attended by praise and applause.

Ways to get validation via center of attention

The Purvaphalguni native who may lack a career in performance arts, fashion, or politics will find some other way to receive their center-stage emotional nourishment.

They often drive flashy cars - usually larger or more specialized or more expensive than required by their lifestyle. Women are prone to plunging necklines and males to super-sporty clothes.

Purvaphalguni women tend to prefer male-dominated environments where the female presence will stimulate male competition and she will receive more attention. For example, a female professional may enjoy working in the male-dominated engineering field, or of course in politics. Males enjoy motorcycles, actresses, extreme sports, and parties.

Sensuality

• Active beings, both socially and physically. the native is sensual, sociable, and committed to both the path of power and the path of enjoymentin human life

• Desire for attention often generates Multiple romantic relationships

Extraordinary personal entitlement.

• All of the Shukra-ruled nakshatra Purvaphalguni gives Bhagadaivata or "luck of the demons".

• A love of powerful company and celebrity glamour is their hallmark.

• Can be slightly handicapped by a laziness, often traced to the comforts of the family estate.

• Connoisseurs of every pleasure, with persistently high entitlement to partake of life's "best offerings". Huge love of human beings, their animalistic contradictions and their true divinity.

Purvaphalguni Chandra, while a party-lover and sensually inclined always, will not descend into mindless indulgence. Surya = karaka for Intelligence. Native is typically more than capable mentally but the intelligence is focused upon obtainment of nurturing in relationships and social validation via personal power and glory.

• Deep emotional need feel special, privileged and refined.

From Simha-Chandra lagna, Shukra rules the sahaja bhava (3) and the karma bhava (10). The parents are often significantly involved in business activities at the time of the prenatal epoch and the native 's birth.

Purvaphalguni natives are born into a narrative of pleasure-and-treasure-accumulation (Shukra) - wealth and knowledge - and they keep that script close to their emotional hearts throughout life. The script is diversified by the application of Shukra's sensual talents to the tasks of commercial business (3) and public leadership (10). the native is often called into public life most frequently in the business of politics and entertainment.

The mother would have been especially concerned with matters of siblings and playmates (3) capitalization of wealth into self-owned business (3) group dynamics such as communication with her neighbors and immediate friends (3) and professional service (10) or public reputation and respect through leadership in her local context (10) . Public recognition would have been important to her. Due to Shukra's influence she would have been thinking about her own attractiveness, dramatic liveliness, and beauty. All of these concerns remain part of the native 's psychic narrative throughout life.

If Ketu is yuti Chandra in a nakshatra of Shukra, the native may slowly lose the hair, teeth, sight, or voice. There may be separation or abandonment in relationship during Ketu periods.

If Chandra is yuti Shukra the native the mother indulges the Purvaphalguni child in sweets and treats; which spoils the child for life. Being spoiled does not harm the career and may in fact enhance it, as one will work hard for the luxuries. However the entitlement to sweet treats becomes unshakable when Chandra + Shukra, esp in a nakshatra of Shukra.

• Mother feelsa need for relationships which deliver theatrical-political validation and she basks in the attention of her audience, including the children, the spouse and his cronies.

• the native will be comfortable in relationships with stage performers, politicians, and self-dramatizing personalities.

• Parenting style meets the native 's need for center-stage recognition before attending to the concerns of children.

• Bhaga

• fear of isolation, abandonment, rejection

In order to mirror one's own subconscious emotional patterns, one attracts a core partner who expresses Purvaphalguni behavior.
