Please refer to the introductory article here – https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/AscendantNakshatraandLifePattern to understand the theme and purpose of this series.

So, now we will try to understand that what will happen if Purva Phalguni Nakshatra is someone’s Ascendant Nakshatra and how it is going to impact the life pattern of person.

So, let’s cover this article under the following points –

Ascendant Nakshatra – There is something called the Ascendant Nakshatra. It is based on the degree of Ascendant (please find introduction of all the Nakshatras here - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/intronaksh)

If Ascendant shows the life path then Ascendant Nakshatra will show the pattern of life. It shows the activities we follow throughout life as pattern.

Purva Phalguni – Purva Phalguni Nakshatra spreads from 13.20 degree to 26.40 degree of Leo. Purva Phalguni is nakshatra of Luxury, Wealth and Lavish Life. It is also nakshatra of creative pursuits and love/romance. For detailed information, please check this - https://www.astrosaxena.com/ppnaksh.

Effect of Purva Phalguni Nakshatra as Ascendant Nakshatra – Purva Phalguni represents all the luxuries, conveniences and pleasurable things or events of life. It is nakshatra of finance/wealth, love/romance and party time. It is considered as nakshatra of non-serious playful life. It is also nakshatra related with creativity. In its highest representation, this is nakshatra of Devotion and Surrender too. So, when Purva Phalguni becomes the ascendant nakshatra then all or any of these activities can become life pattern of native.

Ascendant Nakshatra Lord’s Position – Now, as ascendant shows our life path and ascendant lord’s position in chart shows the direction of life path; likewise, ascendant nakshatra shows our life pattern and position of ascendant nakshatra lord in chart shows that in which area of life, the life pattern will be exhibited.

Like, we have discussed all above traits and characteristics of Purva Phalguni Nakshatra which (any of them) can become Life Pattern for someone if it is person’s ascendant nakshatra. Now, in whichever House/Sign Purva Phalguni lord Venus is placed in a Leo Ascendant's chart, person may get Purva Phalguni’s and Venus’s results as life pattern. Additionally, person’s life pattern involving aforementioned activities can be exhibited from the house/sign wherever Venus is placed in chart.

Here, going through Venus’s position in each house/sign can be repetitive or monotonous. So, for understanding the end result, we can rely on the Concept of Who, How, What & Where - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/whww.

“Where” is the House where event is happening.

“What” is the Sign which is indicating towards event.

“Who” is the Planet who is bringing the event; and

“How” is the quality of event which depends on nature and dignity of planet.

For example, Venus in 2nd house/Virgo for a Leo ascendant chart would show that native’s life pattern can be all about dealing with finance/wealth related matters and support their family matters. But as Venus is debilitated person may not get satisfactory result. Hence, happiness factor can be missing.

Whereas Venus in 4th house/Scorpio for Leo ascendant chart, this person’s life pattern can be going towards providing beauty and conveniences at home or in real estate matters. At the same time, as Scorpio remains a sign of instability and karmic baggage, it shows that person can have instability or control issues in relationship in general or specifically towards relationship of mother. This can bring relationship with lots of past-life karmic baggage.

Final example, Venus in 8th house/Pisces shows that person may be inclined to serve and devote self towards people through his creative pursuits. Person can also be inclined to serve people through occult and mysticism. At the same time, relationship matters can be impacted by dreamy approach and instability of 8th house.

As always, more challenges can be in relationship matters rather than financial matters. 

Like this, we can understand about how and where the ascendant nakshatra lord is exhibiting the results of life pattern. In further articles of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern, I will cover other house/sign positions which would help us in learning interpretation of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern in a more holistic way.

Dignity – As always, Dignity of Planet has the highest say. If Venus is in exaltation (Pisces), Own Signs (Taurus & Libra), Friendly Signs (Gemini) and Neutral Signs (Aries & Scorpio), there is a potential that person can get results without much difficulties or obstacles. When Venus is in Enemy Signs (Cancer & Leo), Saturnine Signs (Capricorn & Aquarius) and Debilitated Sign (Virgo) then things can be difficult to achieve and extra hard work is needed to be done.

Even this distinction can be understood differently by different people. Many a times, we don’t value things which are easily achieved or available to us and we end-up in valuing those things for which we had to work really hard. So, it is very difficult to judge as to which result is good or which result is bad. It largely depends on individual.

Conclusion – As I understand, this is how we can understand as to how ascendant nakshatra can setup the life pattern for people with Purva Phalguni Nakshatra as the Ascendant Nakshatra.
