Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra: The Star of Patronage, Service and Social Contracts

Uttara Phalguni is the star of patronage and partnership. It bridges Simha (Leo) and Kanya (Virgo), it’s ruled by Surya (the Sun), and its deity is Aryaman, god of contracts, friendship and noble alliances. Its symbol is the back legs of a bed. Where Purva Phalguni is pleasure, Uttara Phalguni is the commitment that follows — marriage, partnership, service and the steady honouring of promises.

People born here are generous helpers who take their word seriously.
