"Bhaga desired, "May I partake of the best portion of the Gods." One who makes the appropriate offering to Bhaga, to the Phalgunis, gains the best portion among his peers.
Those born under Purva Phalguni seek the best portion for themselves. They become connoisseurs in life, seeking what is subtle and refined."
~~ David Frawley, Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra
Purvaphalguni, for females:
"... an oval face, whose features are well proportioned and a quiet, well modulated voice, soft and cultured.
She is modest and unassuming but has a strong & fine character beneath her quiet demeanor. Very hospitable and sociable she likes to meet people and is interested in what they have to say and in their troubles.
She likes to sew or embroider and is often occupied with such tasks. She also is keenly interested in occult subjects and likes to listen to discussions on these matters and to read about them.
She is scrupulous in her obligations and a favor done to her will always be repaid promptly with something else added."
~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 95.
Chandra in Purvaphalguni: [Madonna]
Purvaphalguni, for males:
"A physical rather than a mental type. A healthy constitution not given to worry or anxiety regarding the problems of living. He must guard against impulsiveness since he is apt to act without sufficient thought and as a result he makes many mistakes which are difficult to rectify and which may be disastrous.
He is very active physically and will be proficient at various sports, reveling in the joy of mere action, even purposeless action. These people seem never to rest and are constantly in motion. As soon as they have finished one thing they start on another, frequently doing several things at a time."
~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 83.

General Description of Purvaphalguni characteristics
General
General results of being born in Purva Phalguni Nakshatra:
1. Physical features: You have an attractive personality. A stout body with mixed color. Frequent sweating. A snubbed nose.
2. Character and general events: You like full freedom. It is seen that you become famous in one field or another. However, your mind may be full of disturbances on one or the other matter. You have inherent intuitive powers to know the problems of others. Hence, even before the help is requested for, you extend a helping hand to the needy. You will possess sweet speech and are fond of traveling.
3. Education, sources of earning/profession: You choose not to be a slave to anyone. Because of this quality, it is quite often noticed that you will not take up a job which involves subordination in its true meaning. There is a drawback in you that cannot be a 'yes master' even to your boss in the case of employment. You are not in a position to derive much benefit from your superiors. You want to be sincere in all the work you undertake. Neither can you be a party to any illegal activities nor have the power of tolerance to see such activities. This condition of your mind may drag you into several complications in life, but you are ready to face such problems. You do not like to get any benefit at the cost of others. You may have several hidden enemies. Hence, such enemies stand as a main obstacle in your progress. However, you are able to subdue such enemies & attain much success in all the work you undertake. You enjoy power. You give preference to position & authority rather than money. You pursue a righteous path of progress & may devote your valuable time for such a cause. Even though you are able & intelligent you cannot necessarily reach the place of your dreams. It does not mean though that you will not rise in life. In the employment field, you will frequently change your job, particularly at the age of 22, 27, 30, 32,37 & 44 years. You will attain the requisite position only after your 45th year of age. While you do not want other's money you may be frequently in trouble in the financial matters from others. In other words, borrowers may not return the money to you. In spite of all the adverse positions mentioned above you will, after your 45th year of age, will reach a good position where power & authority vests in you. In the business field you can shine well.
4. Family life: Your married life will be happy. You will have a good spouse & children & also derive much happiness from them. In some cases it has been noticed that you may not marry the person of your choice. You will lead a life away from your birthplace & other family members.
