Nakshatra 12 of 27
Uttara Phalguni
Uttara Phalguni keeps its word. It is about partnership, patronage and loyalty, people who become the steady centre of a group.
A nakshatra is one of the 27 lunar mansions of Vedic astrology. Yours is the one the Moon stood in when you were born, measured in the sidereal zodiac. Uttara Phalguni spans 26°40′ Leo to 10°00′ Virgo.
Its ruler, Sun, also opens the first of your life chapters (the Vimshottari dasha) if your Moon sits here.
Each nakshatra splits into four padas of 3°20′, 108 in all. Each pada falls in a navamsa sign, so the same mansion can lean four slightly different ways.
