Purva Phalguni and the Venus dasha
Because Purva Phalguni is ruled by Venus, a Moon placed here means life opens with a Venus Mahadasha lasting 20 years. That single fact shapes the timing of an entire chart, which is why the birth nakshatra matters far more in Jyotish than the Sun sign most people know.
What planet rules Purva Phalguni nakshatra?
Purva Phalguni is ruled by Venus. A Moon in Purva Phalguni therefore begins life in a Venus Mahadasha of 20 years, and Venus's condition in the chart carries extra weight throughout life.
