Uttara Phalguni

Uttara Phalguni is the 12th of the 27 nakshatras of Indian astrology. Degrees: 26°40′ Leo to 10°00′ Virgo. Ruling planet: the Sun; deity: Aryaman, god of contracts and friendship; symbol: the back legs of a bed.

Personality

Agreements and reliable partnership. If the previous nakshatra is about pleasure, this one is about the commitments that follow from it: marriage, contracts, friendship taken seriously.

Strengths: generosity and honesty. Weak spot: dependence on partnership and difficulty being alone.

Ruling Planet and Deity

The ruling planet, the Sun, determines through which period of life the nakshatra's theme unfolds: in the dasha system, it is the ruler of the Moon's nakshatra at birth that determines which period a person's life begins with.

The nakshatra’s deity is Aryaman, god of contracts and friendship. In the tradition, he conveys the nakshatra’s meaning more deeply than any description of character: he is invoked in rituals connected with this part of the sky.

Each nakshatra is divided into four "padas" of 3°20′, and in Jyotish the pada refines the description. Determining the pada precisely requires the time and place of birth.

Suitable Occupations

Tradition links the Uttara Phalguni nakshatra with the following fields: law, consulting, charity, HR, partnership businesses.

This is not career advice but a description of traditional correspondences. Your nakshatra is determined by the Moon's position, so you need your date, time, and place of birth.

Compatibility

In Kundali Milan, the Indian comparison of charts before marriage, the Moon's nakshatra determines most of the 36 compatibility points: Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi are calculated from it, while Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot come from the Moon sign.

Separately, the tradition takes "Nadi Dosha" into account: if both partners' nakshatras share the same nadi, the marriage is considered unfavorable. This is one of the most controversial parts of the system, and it is the reason perfectly good matches fall apart in India.
