About Uttara Phalguni

Uttara Phalguni spans from 26°40′ Leo to 10°00′ Virgo and is ruled by the Sun. Its deity is Aryaman, who presides over contracts, friendship, hospitality and the customs of marriage. Its symbol is the back legs of a bed: where Purva Phalguni is the pleasure of union, Uttara Phalguni is its commitment.

This is a nakshatra of loyalty, generosity and agreements that hold. It is classed as fixed (dhruva), favouring marriage, foundations and anything meant to endure. Its first pada lies in Leo, the other three in Virgo, joining warmth to practical service.
