Uttara Phalguni is the 12th Nakshatra/Star of Zodiac, also known as “The Star of Patronage’’. This nakshatra is very much alike to its previous nakshatra Poorva Phalguni, as it shares similar name, symbolism, nature and quality although there is slight difference in its functionality. Uttara Phalguni is all about linking between Soul( Sun ) and Intellect( Mercury ). The main emphasize here is on establishing a Social Identity rather than restricting itself upto Self individuality. It is Less Comfort-Oriented in comparison to its counterpart Poorva Phalguni. It relates to someone lying on a couch, talking, thinking, or contemplating, or involved in some kind of activity like writing, reading etc. As the first part of this nakshatra resides in Leo and rest three parts are in Virgo, So impact of mercury is more here which makes this nakshatra action oriented. Service aspect of this nakshatra comes out because of involvement of zodiac sign Virgo( 6th house of Service in Kaalpurusha kundali ). It is the “Social, Civilized and Cultured nakshatra’’ who is always ready to help the friend in need. It possess great skills in the healing arts and counseling fields.
