What Rahu in Purva Phalguni nakshatra means
Purva Phalguni belongs to Venus, and Bhaga, the giver of enjoyment, is its deity. Its symbol is the front legs of a cot, and the nakshatra lies in Leo, so the Sun owns the sign. Venus is Rahu's friend in the usual lists and the Sun its enemy. Rahu's stay here is pleasant on the surface and uneasy beneath.
Around seven months pass in the stay, taken backward from the fourth pada to the first. When the true node runs direct for some weeks the stay splits into two visits. The themes are pleasure, romance, creativity, generosity, performance and the ease that follows achievement.
Rahu makes pleasure a preoccupation. Spending on entertainment rises, romances begin quickly and burn out, and creative work attracts attention out of proportion to its merit. Ketu stands in Purva Bhadrapada at the same time and moves back into Shatabhisha for the second half, withdrawing from austerity and from healing.
From the Moon, Gemini, Pisces and Libra hold Rahu in the third, sixth and eleventh, the houses Phaladeepika favours. Leo Moons carry Rahu in the first and should watch the heart, their spending and their vanity. Aquarius Moons have Ketu in the first and Rahu in the seventh. Virgo and Capricorn Moons take the twelfth and the eighth, with the lagna taking the same count.
The transit shows what one does with ease. Bhaga gives, and Rahu wants more of the gift than was given. A person who can enjoy without grasping passes through this stay well.
Worship Durga, and thank Bhaga by giving pleasure to someone who has little of it. Recite Om Ram Rahave Namah. Parashara's graha shanti calls for mantra and dana, and the traditional gifts for Rahu are dark cloth, sesame and oil on Saturday. Avoid intoxicants, which are Rahu's easiest door in a Venus star.
