Purva Phalguni and the Dasha Sequence
The lord of Purva Phalguni is Venus. If the Moon was in Purva Phalguni at birth, the Vimshottari Dasha sequence begins with the Mahadasha of Venus, which lasts 20 years in full. The part remaining at birth depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the Nakshatra.
Venus also rules Bharani and Purva Ashadha.
