Characteristics of Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra is the #bull.
Uttara Phalguni natives are bulls in their life. Whatever obstacles are in front of them, they just steer along without a scratch, and even if they get a scratch, that’s not enough to slow them down.
In their career, they are extremely masculine because they want to achieve the highest success.
Bull is not a cow; it has more muscles, dense bones and large feet similar to body types of natives with ascendant Uttara Phalguni or when clusters of planets are placed in this.
One of the major connections with bulls is that either a person will love a sports team having a bull symbol, like Chicago bulls, or would love visiting places or restaurants with the symbolism of this animal, like Buffalo wild wings, even though it’s called buffalo.
Bulls are known to be extremely aggressive and competitive.
They will kill to win over the cow and anyone who comes near their herd.
They are also given the freedom to roam the streets in India due to their divine link to Shiva.
Nandi, the bull, is the gatekeeper and vahana (vehicle) for Lord Shiva. Nandi, being a loyal devotee, was taught many secret tantric practices by Shiva and Parvati.
Uttara Phalguni natives are well known to be interested in astrology, Vedas and are brilliant writers.
Nandi was so powerful that it defeated Indra and his army when trying to find the head for Lord Ganesha.
Therefore, such natives are blessed by Lord Shiva to be extremely fortunate in life.
Nandi is the provider of music when Shiva performs his tandava dance, and this also translates to Uttara Phalguni natives being very good or interested in music, dancing and yoga.
It is also the sheer force within the Uttara Phalguni natives to dramatically transform things around them.
Aryaman, the deity of Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra, is the God of patronage and union and is considered the chief amongst the ancestors.
He is frequently invoked together with Bhaga. Aryaman is also the guard of the sacred laws.
Aryaman is considered to have a special connection to marriages. It is said that Shiva got married to Parvati in this Nakshatra.
This Nakshatra is associated with the bull. Nandi is a famous bull in the Indian pantheon.
Nandi is the mount of Shiva. It is said that to offer a prayer to Shiva, one has to first whisper the prayer into Nandi’s ear.
Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra also has a connection to Lord Ganesha, as Ganesha literally translates as a leader amongst Ganas (Gana + Isha = Ganesha). Ganesh Chaturthi usually happens when Sun is in the neighbourhood of Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra.
Arjuna, the great warrior, is called the Phalguni, and is supposed to have been born under this Nakshatra.
One of the main themes of this Nakshatra is it’s a star of marriage, especially since Shiva is known to marry Parvati when Moon was transiting in the Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra.
When a person gets married on such a day, or if a prominent planet is in this Nakshatra like Venus, 7th lord, Darakaraka or Atmakaraka, the native is always in it for the long haul.
For these natives, marriage and commitment is the most important thing in life.
Marriage is also a legal contract, and such individuals will always have to deal with contracts, negotiations, and following certain laws in their life.
This is why they make the best lawyers, astrologers, and human resource professionals.
The symbol of this Nakshatra is the back legs of the bed or a platform. This again symbolizes the pleasure of bed and pleasure of being “the One”, “the chosen one”.
Uttara Phalgunis tend to be more sexual than Purva Phalguni. Like Purva, the Uttara Phlaguni always somehow make acquaintances connected with the adult film industry as a lover, friend, or business client.
The native can be a lawyer to a client from an adult film industry or an accountant for a porn star.
The platform, on the other hand, is symbolized by a powerful position.
Only people in power stand on a platform of some kind, whether it’s a politician, professor, actors on stage or a sage on a stage.
Regardless of what planet is in this Nakshatra, when the time cycle runs out of that planet, the native will have to stand on a stage and perform their duties.
There are countless celebrities and politicians with Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra in their chart, including Donald J. Trump, who has Rahu in this Nakshatra in the navamsa chart.
If Purva Phalguni is fiction entertainment, Uttara Phalguni is real entertainment, meaning that one represents movies, and the other represents documentaries.
Uttara Phalguni natives get obsessed with documentaries from their mid-30s onwards.
Such natives also have their father’s money karma. Either they do not get their father’s inheritance, or they give it away.
They may even have to fight to get their father’s wealth.
This is seen with the story of bhootaganas, an army of demons sent by Shiva to Ganesha when he was guarding his mother, Parvati.
None of the bhootganas could withstand Ganesha’s might so Shiva himself took the head out, but later Parvati scolded Shiva for his act and told him it was she who created the boy from the Earth and was just following his mother’s order.
Shiva then replaced his head, not with an elephant but a gana, who is a creature without bones.
Ganesha rejected his father’s wealth, as he was able to create a wealth of his own.
Uttara Phalguni natives are closely connected with Ganesha as they are brilliant writers, love travelling as Ganesha does on his giant rat to faraway places, and he was excellent at doing business.
