Nakshatra 12 of 27 · उत्तरा फाल्गुनी नक्षत्र
Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra
Uttara Phalguni crosses from Leo into Virgo — the first pada in Leo, three in Virgo — ruled by the Sun under Aryaman. Where Purva Phalguni enjoys, Uttara Phalguni commits: it is the nakshatra of alliances, agreements, friendship and patronage. An Uttara Phalguni Moon is reliable, helpful, principled and organised, a good friend and a fair leader who keeps promises. Natives prosper through partnerships and service. It begins life in a six-year Sun dasha.

FAQ
Uttara Phalguni nakshatra — common questions
What is Uttara Phalguni nakshatra?
Uttara Phalguni (उत्तरा फाल्गुनी) is the 12th of the 27 nakshatras, spanning 146°40′–160°00′ of the sidereal zodiac (26°40′ Leo to 9°60′ Virgo). Its Vimshottari lord is Sun, its deity Aryaman, god of contracts and patronage, its symbol the back legs of a bed. It belongs to the Manushya gana and the Adi nadi, with the cow yoni.
Which rashi is Uttara Phalguni in?
It crosses a sign boundary: pada 1 in Leo and padas 2, 3, 4 in Virgo. Your Moon sign depends on your pada, which is why the birth time matters here.
What is the first dasha for someone born in Uttara Phalguni?
Sun mahadasha, which lasts 6 years in full. How much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Uttara Phalguni the Moon had travelled — the balance of dasha — so two people born under Uttara Phalguni can have very different first chapters. The dasha calculator computes yours to the day.
What are the naming letters for Uttara Phalguni?
By pada: pada 1 — Te, pada 2 — To, pada 3 — Pa, pada 4 — Pi. Traditional naming (namakarana) picks a first syllable from the pada the Moon occupied at birth.
Is today good for someone born in Uttara Phalguni?
That is tara bala: count today's nakshatra from Uttara Phalguni and fold into nine. Sampat, Kshema, Sadhaka, Mitra and Ati Mitra are favourable; Vipat, Pratyari and Vadha are not; Janma is neutral. The card on this page computes it from the ephemeris each day.
