The other mansions under Venus: Bharani and Purva Ashadha.

Your Moon nakshatra is read from a kundli chart on the sidereal zodiac; the moon sign calculator uses the tropical one, so it often names the next sign along. Kundli matching then compares the nakshatra with a partner's.

Reading Purva Phalguni: gana, yoni and caste

  • Gana: Manushya — human: mixed, self-interested, neither of the extremes. Nearest Manushya neighbors: Ardra (no. 6) and Uttara Phalguni (no. 12).
  • Yoni: Rat — shared only with Magha (no. 10); two charts with the same yoni get the top score for this factor.
  • Caste: Priest. Presiding deity: Bhaga, god of delight; symbol: the front legs of a bed.
