Nature and traits

Uttara Phalguni is ruled by Aryaman, the god of friendship, contracts and marriage vows, and symbolised by the back legs of a bed. Where its twin Purva Phalguni enjoys, Uttara Phalguni commits. People with the Moon here are often reliable, helpful, fair-minded and loyal to friends and partners. They keep their word and like to be of real use to others. Tradition links this nakshatra with patronage and lasting partnerships, so management, public service, counselling, law and charitable work suit it well. Its gift is dependable kindness; its lesson is to accept help as gracefully as it is given.

These are traditional tendencies, not verdicts. Your full kundali — ascendant, planets and dasha — gives the personal picture.
