Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra
The generous patron — reliable, kind and steadfast, offering help, contracts and lasting support.
Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra meaning & nature
Uttara Phalguni is ruled by the Sun and presided over by Aryaman, the god of patronage, friendship and contracts. Where Purva Phalguni is pleasure, Uttara Phalguni is the responsibility that follows — steady support, generosity, marriage vows and reliable help. Its natives are kind, dependable, generous and organised, natural patrons and providers.
The Sun’s dignity spanning royal Leo and dutiful Virgo gives Uttara Phalguni both warmth and practical reliability. At its best it is generous, steadfast and helpful; at its shadow it can be over-giving, controlling or rigid. Uttara Phalguni is the friend and patron you can always count on.
