Purva Phalguni

Born with Chandra in Purva Phalguni, Bhaga's star of delight, you are warm, generous and artistic — music, dance, drama, painting and fine things are where your heart lives. Shukra's star in Surya's sign does well where art meets people: cinema and photography, music, hotels, museums and the restoring of old things, education and Government service. You love comfort and a little speculation; keep the gambling small. Your heart feels hard knocks deeply — look after it in both senses, and keep your blood pressure checked.

The four padas

Pada 1 — Simha navamsha (Surya), vargottama; names begin with Mo (मो). The purest Purva Phalguni — generous, sociable and good-looking; KP names music and the fine arts, business and speculation, and Government service.

Pada 2 — Kanya navamsha (Budh); names begin with Ta (टा). Adventurous and artistic, with a spender's streak; KP names sport, instrumental music, advertising and display, and transport.

Pada 3 — Tula navamsha (Shukra); names begin with Ti (टी). Balanced and fair; KP names judges, tax officers, colleges and hospitals for women and children, and transport administration.

Pada 4 — Vrishchika navamsha (Mangal); names begin with Tu (टू). Intense and technical; KP names chemical and sanitary engineering and the drug trade.

Health

The heart and spine: palpitations, blood pressure, a curving back, and the heart's hurt after disappointment in love; swollen ankles. Keep your blood pressure checked, walk daily, and see a doctor for anything persistent.
