Patronage and partnership. Aryaman’s star of contracts, friendship and generous leadership — reliable, kind, ambitious in service, and loyal in commitment.

## 01What Uttara Phalguni shapes

Every nakṣatra colours the mind (the Moon) with its deity’s signature. Under **Aryaman** and the discipline of **Sun**, Uttara Phalguni leans toward the qualities above: strongest where the Moon is well-placed and dignified, strained where it is afflicted. The *back legs of a bed* is the key image to hold: it is what this star is always, quietly, doing.

None of this is a verdict. It is the classical *tendency* of a birth star — a lens, read against the whole chart.

## 02Compatibility signature

For kundli matching (Guṇa Milan), Uttara Phalguni carries the **Manuṣya** gaṇa (temperament), **Ādi** nāḍī (constitution) and the **Cow** yoni (instinctive nature). Classically, partners are matched for gaṇa harmony and, most importantly, *different* nāḍī — same-nāḍī pairings score zero on that koota and are traditionally avoided.

## 03Common questions

Which planet rules Uttara Phalguni nakṣatra?
Uttara Phalguni is ruled by **Sun** in the Vimśottarī system — so a Uttara Phalguni-born Moon begins life in the Sun mahādaśā. Its presiding deity is Aryaman.

What is the gaṇa and nāḍī of Uttara Phalguni?
Uttara Phalguni is **Manuṣya** gaṇa, **Ādi** nāḍī, with the **Cow** yoni. These three decide much of kundli-matching (Guṇa Milan) — same nāḍī between partners is classically avoided.

What are Uttara Phalguni natives like?
Patronage and partnership. Aryaman’s star of contracts, friendship and generous leadership — reliable, kind, ambitious in service, and loyal in commitment. Exact expression depends on the pada, the Moon’s dignity, and the whole chart — a computed reading resolves it.

How do I find my nakṣatra?
Your birth Moon’s exact position sets your nakṣatra and pada. Karma Jyotiṣa computes it free from your birth date, time and place.
