About this Nakshatra

Uttara Phalguni is the twelfth nakshatra, spanning the end of Leo and the start of Virgo. It is ruled by the Sun and its deity is Aryaman, the god of friendship and marriage. Its symbol is the back legs of a bed.

It shares many qualities with Purva Phalguni, but is more focused on helping others, keeping promises and building stable relationships.

Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra in Detail

Uttara Phalguni men are considered lucky by others. They are frank and keen to help the less fortunate, often ignoring their own needs. They are short-tempered and do not calm down easily. Sometimes they realise they have made a mistake and sometimes they do not, but they always do their best. They can make good teachers or scientists. Their married life is happy.

Their wife is knowledgeable and capable. If they neglect their health, they may face stomach problems.

Uttara Phalguni women are lovable and friendly. Their nature helps them settle disputes quickly. They are of medium height, with a soft build and medium complexion. Tradition says they may have a prominent nose and a dark mole on the face. They are admired by all and always cheerful. Their logical mind draws them towards teaching. Their beauty and wit may lead some to acting. They are happy with their husbands and children and take comfort in knowing their family is well. They are true homemakers, though they should make sure their efforts do not seem showy to the neighbours. They enjoy good health, with minor troubles such as headaches, menstrual problems or breathing difficulties.

Gaining wealth through marriage is another notable trait. Because Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni form a pair, they share many features, but the positive qualities are stronger in Uttara Phalguni. Its natives are especially kind-hearted, generous and eager to help and support people in distress. The star is ruled by the Sun, and its deity is Aryaman, the god of contracts and friendship.

Both men and women are very sensible with money. They keep away from disputes and quarrels and believe in compromise and agreement. Their willpower and belief in action are equally inspiring. Instead of daydreaming, they work hard, and through their ability and recognition they become well known.

On the negative side, they need to guard their commitments, as they can be tempted by romance outside marriage. They can also be obsessed with purity and become proud, and at times they can act selfishly or scornfully.
