All four padas are in Sinh (Leo).

Tattva here is the nakshatra's own element in the five-block scheme AstroSage also prints (Ashwini to Mrigashira earth, Ardra to Purva Phalguni water, Uttara Phalguni to Anuradha fire, Jyeshtha to Shravana air, Dhanishta to Revati ether) — not the element of the Moon sign.

Purva Phalguni nakshatra padas, navamsa and name letters

The naming letters for Purva Phalguni are Mo, Ta, Tee, Too, one per pada. In the Namakaran tradition a child is named beginning with the sound of the pada the Moon occupied at birth, so the pada — not just the nakshatra — decides the letter.

PadaDegreesRashiNavamsa (D9)Name syllableVarna (matching)

4Leo 23°20′ – Leo 26°40′Sinh (Leo)Vrishchik (Scorpio)TooKshatriya

Varna is given per pada because Ashtakoota matching scores the varna of the Moon sign (water signs Brahmin, fire Kshatriya, earth Vaishya, air Shudra). Some tables also assign a varna to the nakshatra itself; those lists disagree from source to source and matching does not use them.

Purva Phalguni nakshatra characteristics

Purva Phalguni is the star of rest and enjoyment: its symbol is the front of a bed and its deity is Bhaga, who governs good fortune and shared pleasure. Under Venus, natives are read as charming, creative, sociable and generous with time and affection, often drawn to the arts, hospitality and celebration. Relationships matter a great deal to them. The caution is indulgence, and losing interest in routine effort once the fun has gone out of something.

A nakshatra describes the Moon's position, which millions of people share. It is read as a tendency to reflect on, alongside the whole chart — not as a verdict on a person.

Purva Phalguni nakshatra compatibility for marriage

Nadi. Purva Phalguni is Madhya (Pitta) nadi. When both birth stars share a nadi, Guna Milan's Nadi koota scores 0 of 8 (nadi dosha), so a match with any of these stars starts with that gap: Bharani, Mrigashira, Pushya, Chitra, Anuradha, Purva Ashadha, Dhanishta, Uttara Bhadrapada. Several traditions list exceptions that cancel the dosha; read the full 36-point report rather than one koota.

Yoni. Purva Phalguni is Rat yoni. The same yoni — Magha — scores the full 4 of 4. Its sworn-enemy yoni is Cat, so Punarvasu, Ashlesha score 0 of 4 in either direction.

Gana. Purva Phalguni is Manushya gana. The Gana koota is directional — the score depends on which partner is the groom — and these are the engine's own values:

Partner's ganaPurva Phalguni native is the groomPurva Phalguni native is the bride
Deva5 / 66 / 6
Manushya6 / 66 / 6
Rakshasa0 / 60 / 6

Nadi, yoni and gana are 18 of the 36 points; the rest come from the Moon signs and the count between the two stars. Full kundli matching · Matching by name · Nakshatra porutham

Times are for New Delhi. The Moon enters and leaves a nakshatra at the same instant everywhere, so another city changes only the clock these are written in. The Moon takes about 27.3 days to come back to the same star and stays roughly a day each time.
