Upgrade to unlockWhen to Practice
This sequence is most potent when the Moon transits Purva Phalguni nakshatra (133.3-146.7 in Leo). The Moon spends approximately one day in each nakshatra, cycling through all 27 every lunar month. Practice during Venus's hora (planetary hour) on any day to invoke Purva Phalguni's energy outside of its direct transit. Check the daily panchang for current Moon nakshatra position.
