The lunar mansion
Bond · loyalty · partnership
Uttara Phalguni is the pleasure of a promise kept. It values friendship, contracts, generous hospitality and love that can be relied on.
Where it sits in the zodiac
Uttara Phalguni spans 13°20′. It begins in Leo and crosses into Virgo. Because nakshatras do not align with sign boundaries, a planet in a sign can be carrying the flavour of two different lunar mansions.
The four padas
Each nakshatra is divided into four padas of 3°20′. The pada adds a further layer of nuance and is used in divisional charts such as the navamsa.
Pada 126° 40′ Leo — 0° 00′ Leo
Pada 20° 00′ Virgo — 3° 20′ Virgo
Pada 33° 20′ Virgo — 6° 40′ Virgo
Pada 46° 40′ Virgo — 10° 00′ Virgo
The ruling planet
Uttara Phalguni is ruled by Sun, the planet of atma · soul, vitality, visibility. The dasha sequence begins from this planet when your Moon is in this nakshatra.
