Sun in Purva Phalguni ~ Earn the right to take it easy

Sun, the planet of spirit and self-expression, is in Purva Phalguni ‘the previous red one’, from August 30th to September 13th, 2025.

This nakshatra falls in zodiacal Leo where the Sun is strong and at home, and Purva’s symbol of a Hammock gives you a laid-back style, with effortless confidence. You are relaxed and good company when your priorities are straight, though your unhurried attitude can tip over into pure laziness. Still, you are switched on when you have a compelling target to work towards, like the Lion which only springs into action when there is a need to hunt.

Purva’s ruling deity Aryaman, is famed for qualities of leadership and integrity and possesses power over married life. 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 more than you can on your own. The Sun is also flanked by the relationship planets Venus and Mars through this transit, which puts extra emphasis on desire and connecting with others. Take care of getting involved in a complicated romantic scenario, however, where you are drawn in without realizing possible risks at the beginning.

Focus your core energy and prioritize, otherwise a constant pleasure-loving pursuit may become draining. The Lunar Eclipse of September 7th combines the Sun with mystical Ketu and you may pursue a highly personal inner goal, the nature of which is truly known only to yourself. You take on an empathic, more self-effacing style at this point, and can be of great help in a caring or psychological way. Make sure your goals are clearly defined, however, and keep some energy for yourself.
