Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra meaning and Characteristics
On average, the nature of Purva Phalguni applies to Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra as well. To know more, it is best to understand the behavioural patterns of the Sun, who is the king of planets. The names that are traditionally given to planet Sun are illuminator, the intense one, the cruel and the sharp one and the one who bestows prosperity. These names are important in indicating the functionality of Uttara Phalguni. Sun is a Sattvic planet which signifies its qualities and noteworthy aspect. It is the aspect of goodness that is helpful, charitable and philanthropic.
The Sun is the only Graha or Vedic planet in astrology that generates light of its own, thus being the most independent of all. This characteristic of Sun is embodied by Uttara Phalguni which rather maintains its individuality instead of associating itself with the crowd. Rising above mass consciousness, the benevolent aspect of Uttara Phalguni is compounded with a stern side. It is thus pompous and also despotic. The common warlike qualities shared by the Sun and Uttara Phalguni are fearlessness, aggression, valour and wrath.
Uttara Phalguni is the point of blending the energies of the Sun and planet Mercury or Budha, and hence the natives of this lunar mansion are endowed with discrimination and judgmental capabilities. Unhesitating in its dealings, Uttara Phalguni assists the native in self-expression and creative pursuits. Other personality traits from ruling planet Sun are dignity, nobility and even megalomania, in its negative connotation.
Considering the ill-reputed aspect of the energy of planetary lord Sun, Uttara Phalguni like Mercury is a trickster. In fact, when even in the wrong, they may appear perfectly innocent of the error with a calm disposition that often makes the contender think twice. Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra stands for kindness towards friends and represents the 'Chayani Shakti' which refers to the power to accumulate and prosper. They are flexible and nimble in appearance.
