Uttara Phalguni (The latter reddish one) is the 12th of the 27 nakshatras in Vedic astrology, occupying 26°40' Leo to 10°00' Virgo on the ecliptic. Its ruling planet is Sun, its presiding deity is Aryaman, and its symbol is the back legs of a bed, four bed-posts. In one line, Uttara Phalguni is about steady service, patronage and reliable friendship.
Personality and Nature
Uttara Phalguni natives are dependable, kind and organised, the friends who show up and follow through. They balance ambition with genuine helpfulness. With Manushya gana, the temperament is a human temperament balancing ambition with everyday practicality, while the Cow yoni describes its instinctive, animal nature in relationships and drives.
Career and Vocation
Suits management, counselling, social work, contracts and public service. The Sun rulership adds a distinct flavour to how these natives pursue work and success, rewarding fields aligned with the star's essence rather than those that fight against it.
