Uttara Phalguni is the patronage nakshatra — the bed's other legs, the part of a partnership that holds steady. The Sun rules it and Aryaman, the deity of contracts and friendship, presides. It gives the capacity for durable alliance: marriage, business partnership, patronage given and received. Where the previous nakshatra enjoys, this one commits.
Strengths
Reliability in partnership, organising ability, generosity with position and contacts.
Needs watching
Depending on the alliance for identity, and difficulty acting alone.
Suited work: Management and administration, marriage and partnership work, charity and social service, consultancy.
Gana, yoni and nadi are the three attributes used in marriage matching; the varna and tattva describe temperament and element. The reading below describes the nakshatra itself, not the whole chart — the Moon's nakshatra is the strongest single indicator of temperament, but it is one factor among many.
