ABOUT UTTARA PHALGUNI
Uttara Phalguni is the twelfth of the 27 Nakshatras and runs from 26°40′ Leo (Simha) to 10°00′ Virgo (Kanya), with its first quarter in Leo and the rest in Virgo. Its ruling planet is the Sun, and its presiding deity is Aryaman, the god of patronage, friendship, contracts and marriage. Its main star is Denebola, the tail of the Lion.
Its symbol is the back legs of a bed, or a hammock, a companion to Purva Phalguni. Where Purva Phalguni is about pleasure, Uttara Phalguni is about the support and security that come from good relationships. Its power is Chayani Shakti, the power to bring prosperity through help and patronage.
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Those with the Moon in Uttara Phalguni are kind, reliable and helpful. They keep their promises, honour agreements and are good at building lasting friendships and partnerships. People trust them with responsibility, and they are happy to share what they have.
The Sun gives them a sense of duty and leadership, and Virgo’s influence makes them practical and organised. They like to see things done properly and to leave things better than they found them.
STRENGTHS
Dependable, generous and cooperative. They are good at teamwork, negotiation and keeping the peace between people. They are hard working, honest and loyal, with a strong sense of social duty. Many are successful in partnerships and gain from the support of friends and elders.
CHALLENGES
They can work too hard for others and neglect their own needs. They may be rigid about rules, fussy or critical, and slow to accept help in return. Their wish to please can make them poor at saying no, and they may be disappointed when people do not return their kindness.
CAREER
Human resources and administration, social work and charity, counselling and teaching, medicine and healthcare, law and contracts, civil service, diplomacy, management and team leadership, banking and finance, and marriage and partnership services.
HEALTH
Uttara Phalguni is linked with the spine, intestines and digestion. Those with the Moon here may be prone to back and spinal trouble, digestive and intestinal problems, and stress from overwork.
REMEDY FOR UTTARA PHALGUNI NATIVES
Worship Aryaman and the Sun. Offering water to the rising Sun each morning and practising Surya Namaskar strengthen this nakshatra.
Helping people in need, honouring commitments and supporting friends are the best remedies for this star. Chant “Om Aryamne Namah” 108 times when the Moon transits Uttara Phalguni. This is believed to ease afflictions.
