PURVA PHALGUNI - THE YIELDING LOVER 🌸

Purva Phalguni is the second stage of Venus, the stage after the nakshatra's yoni consort, Magha, where one begins to experience the blissful relaxation, peace, and enjoyment after obtaining the throne in Magha and maintaining the royal status to bask in the pleasures and riches afterwards...

But there's more nuance to this nakshatra which is much more depressing than how most people view Purva Phalguni's energy.

Since Purva Phalguni's symbol is the bed or hammock, it is also the stage of severe passivity and endless vulnerability where one is in a constant state of eternal slumber, unable to awaken from this due to their lack of action or motivation to do so and, thus, often requiring a male force to aid the Purva Phalguni into coming back into reality or the material plane.

The 2011 movie, Sleeping Beauty, where the actress, Emily Browning, who has Ketu in Purva Phalguni stars as the main character, Lucy, is the best example of this frozen and helpless stage. In this film, Lucy goes through the whole movie, finding herself in shady situations with men until she finds an underground and taboo job where she is practically drugged and falls asleep as random older men enter the room, taking advantage of her in different ways without her being aware of this.

It is almost like pouring your entire energy into something and then fainting only to have no recollection of what happened prior to fainting but simply remembering fainting and then waking up right after.

Despite Purva Phalguni being an Ugra nakshatra which represents aggression, passion, and assertion, Purva Phalguni natives are actually much more softer and gentler than people interpret them and this actual pursuit and direct energy is actually reflected onto them from others.

Purva Phalguni's yoni animals, the female rat, is the tiniest animal out of all the other yoni animals and, therefore, is the most skittish and vulnerable (Deer Yoni being second in line) due to their size which is why rats typically resort to moving under the radar to protect themselves.

Generally, rats are often seen as filthy, riddled with disease, and possibly bring poverty so what do people do? They try to kill them, get rid of them, do anything they can to eradicate their existence simply because of how much their presence affects the environment.

How does this relate to Purva Phalguni natives, specifically women?

Because of their tainted reputation, Purva Phalguni natives are often seen as courtesans, something to use for one's own pleasure and then discard them like trash. To others, Purva Phalguni seems to enjoy this and while they unfortunately do seek for attention in the wrong places, they want people to see past their glamorous outer persona, to see past their beauty and grace and be loved inside and out.

Going back to their symbol, the bed or hammock, this can also manifest as repressed sexuality or sexual frigidity where the Purva Phalguni native hasn't yet been awakened to their sexual maturity, especially since they often operate on low vibrational energy which is why they often need the guidance of others in order to elevate themselves.

I notice that Purva Phalguni Risings especially tend to have Anuradha in their 4th house of the home and motherhood which is where I believe the passivity starts.

Anuradha is in Scorpio so Purva Phalgunis tend to live in very intense, bonded, spiritual and emotionally heavy households. The mother may have Scorpionic traits such as being resilient, powerful, transformational, attracting enemies, and keeping the home private and secluded from prying eyes.

Remember in the disney story of Sleeping Beauty, when she pricks her finger on the spinning wheel, she falls into a deep slumber and so does the entire castle? This is basically the home life of Purva Phalguni natives.

The mother may have kept a tight leash or hold on the Purva Phalguni native, seemingly afraid of what dangers may try to trespass onto the territory to "awaken" the sleeping princess. Due to this, this leads the Purva Phalguni native to develop a co-dependant relationship with the mother which is what leads to passivity and laziness, having little to no energy to do anything or a lack of motivation to get things done when their mother does everything for them.

This also leads me to believe that Ashlesha natives are not the ones that tend to have mother issues or repressed womanhood. Sure, Ashlesha natives may seem indifferent towards sex or could do without it but it is the Purva Phalguni woman who suffers from literal or symbolic virginity due to being stuck in this endlessly passive state and copes with this by seeking for overly masculine, aggressive, or dominant partners to stir up heated energy within her.

The movie, Black Swan, is about a woman named Nina Sayers who undergoes an emotionally scarring, draining, and mentally anguishing transformation from innocent girlhood into sexual liberation. The process of Nina's transformation left a huge dent in her mental stability, driving her to the point of insanity but achieving perfection by merging the two opposite forces together and finding freedom at the very end.

Purva Phalguni's shakti is the power to create, procreate, or combine polar opposites which doesn't always manifest sexually but can be internal as well.

The actress, Natalie Portman, who played as Nina Sayers has Purva Phalguni Moon.

(I have to stop right here, otherwise, I'll just continue writing about this nakshatra forever lol. I hope you enjoyed reading! Let me know if anything resonates in the comments below.)

BHARANI - THE FATAL ATTRACTION 🥀

13° 20' Aries - 26° 40' Aries

Descending into the fiery pits of darkness, the woman lays there clothed in billowing white robes, a symbol of her pure and feminine soul that radiates like a blinding light through the flickering flames.

She kneels before herself, her hands clasped together as she looks up at the blood red moon and wishes for a strong masculine force to pull her out of this hellish dimension, to break her out of the rusted chains that are forever attached to her ankles like a heavy burden she is forced to carry. Eventually, her calls are answered as the red light from the moon began to cast down onto the ashes below and a man begin to emerge, hands reaching up to the sky through the charred soil as air began to fill his lungs.

While walking through this treacherous and desolate path, through cracked and dusty mirrors that lay on blackened trees with leaves that hung low like nooses, he saw glimpses and flashes of the gorgeous damsel's face. His head swivels in every direction in hopes to see her in person but he never does, his heart longing more and more for this mysterious pull he has towards her, his thoughts clouded and unable to understand this deep passionate love that has overtaken him.

Inching further in the blazing trenches, monsters and ghoulish shadows leap at him to stop him in his fated journey as he slashes and cuts through every single one of them with the help of his dull sword, beads of sweat that lingered along his brows and face as he continued to push through.

The man finally makes it to the woman, gazing upon the enormous ring of fire that surrounded the metal cage in which she was trapped in, eternally bound and helpless. He takes a small step forward but the flames seem to rise higher, daring him to get closer.

He moves through anyway, his hands and legs gliding through the fire which burned his skin and left permanent scars yet the beating of his brave heart was much greater than the pain itself. The cage suddenly unlocks, creaking open as the woman lifted her head to look at him, her eyes red with tears.

The man walks up to her and unbinds her chains, noticing the reddened scars that also adorned her ankles and the white robes that had now been burnt at the ends. He carries her in his arms and the red moon in the sky begins to gradually change its color to an eggshell white, shining its light down on both of them and bathing them in a heavenly glow.

"Blood of my heart, protection is thine. Life of my life, taking yours taking mine. Body of my body, marrow and mind. Soul of my soul, till our spirit bind. Blood of my heart, my tides, my moon. Blood of my heart, my salvation, my doom."

UTTARA BHADRAPADA - THE INJURED MERMAID

3º 20’ – 16º 40’ Pisces

Submerged in the depths of the dark oceanic waves, her body sinks further and further into the subconscious state as the fogginess of reality begin to cloud her eyes in a hazy blue light. The feeling of the icy water against her skin makes her shiver uncontrollably after awakening to this new environment she is forced to call her home. No matter how much she tries to swim up to the surface, she only finds herself sinking back down more and more, mocking her chances of escaping this watery cell. Her body curls up as the endless chilling shivers makes everything else around her become numb and neutralized, her mind instinctively dissociating from the sensations in an unstable and intensifying way. Her screams of help are forever silenced as she lifts her head up, the Moon's luminous shine in the night sky appearing to wane with each passing hour.

Strong hands suddenly reach into the watery caves to pull her out as she gasps to taste the fresh air on her tongue, to feel it enter through her lungs. The tips of her fingers and toes are a permanently deep blue, paralyzed and frozen with each touch and step excruciatingly agonizing and unbearable. Grey clouds gradually form together as drops of rain begin to fall, becoming a heavy downpour with crackling lightning and booming thunder. The rain felt like a silent triumph to remind her that even though she was physically vulnerable, she was also mentally resilient and strong. Nonetheless, she begins to walk as she prepares to start her new journey, leaving trails of her past suffering along the sandy shores.

"She is water. Powerful enough to drown you, soft enough to cleanse you, deep enough to save you."
