Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra
“The Latter Reddish One, patronage and service”
Uttara Phalguni is the Nakshatra of patronage, service, and mature love. Where Purva Phalguni enjoyed pleasures freely, Uttara Phalguni takes those pleasures and channels them into something lasting, commitment, service, and social contract. Ruled by the Sun and presided over by Aryaman, the god of friendship, honor, and marriage contracts, Uttara Phalguni natives are civilizers, people who build lasting institutions, honored friendships, and enduring marriages. Lord Rama's marriage to Sita was performed under Uttara Phalguni, making it the most auspicious Nakshatra for sacred unions.
