Sun in Purva Phalguni ~ Sharing and sociable style

Sun, planet of spirit and self-expression, is in Purva Phalguni ‘the previous red one’, from August 30^th to September 13^th 2022.

This nakshatra falls inside zodiacal Leo where the Sun is strong and at home, though Purva’s symbol of a Hammock gives you a laid-back style, at odds with the sign’s usual fiery heroics. You are relaxed, good company and have your priorities straight, though your leisurely approach can tip over into pure laziness.

Still, you are focused when you have a compelling target to work towards, like a Lion, which only springs into action and hunts when there is need for food. Purva’s ruling deity is Aryaman, one of the Adityas, who is famed for qualities of leadership and integrity, and possesses a power over marital happiness.

People are drawn to your relaxed but confident approach in relationship, and you can make a creative situation by being totally in the moment. Take care of getting dragged into a romantic scenario that grows up around you, and focus your core energy, otherwise a constant pleasure-loving pursuit becomes draining.

This asterism’s Shakti, or special power, for ‘Procreation’ has an obvious link with parenthood, but also shows you crossing your talents with a friend or collaborator to create something more than you could on your own.

Purva’s leisurely and luxurious style is set off still further by its association with Venus, planet of art and romance through this transit, giving you an even more sociable and sharing outlook. You are fun-loving and forgiving, especially when an old face reappears and wants to renew your acquaintance.

By September 9th your leadership style is open to experiment, and an element of the exotic and unpredictable breaks up a safe routine.
