Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra

Pada 1 is in Sinh (Leo); padas 2–4 are in Kanya (Virgo).

Tattva here is the nakshatra's own element in the five-block scheme AstroSage also prints (Ashwini to Mrigashira earth, Ardra to Purva Phalguni water, Uttara Phalguni to Anuradha fire, Jyeshtha to Shravana air, Dhanishta to Revati ether) — not the element of the Moon sign.

The naming letters for Uttara Phalguni are Te, To, Pa, Pee, one per pada. In the Namakaran tradition a child is named beginning with the sound of the pada the Moon occupied at birth, so the pada — not just the nakshatra — decides the letter.

Varna is given per pada because Ashtakoota matching scores the varna of the Moon sign (water signs Brahmin, fire Kshatriya, earth Vaishya, air Shudra). Some tables also assign a varna to the nakshatra itself; those lists disagree from source to source and matching does not use them.

Uttara Phalguni completes the bed that Purva Phalguni began — the back legs that make it stable — and its deity Aryaman stands for contracts, hospitality and keeping one's word. Natives are read as reliable, fair and generous: the colleague or partner who honours an agreement long after the excitement has passed. The Sun as lord adds a wish to lead. The caution is rigidity about duty, and finding it hard to ask for help.

A nakshatra describes the Moon's position, which millions of people share. It is read as a tendency to reflect on, alongside the whole chart — not as a verdict on a person.

Nadi. Uttara Phalguni is Aadi (Vata) nadi. When both birth stars share a nadi, Guna Milan's Nadi koota scores 0 of 8 (nadi dosha), so a match with any of these stars starts with that gap: Ashwini, Ardra, Punarvasu, Hasta, Jyeshtha, Moola, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada. Several traditions list exceptions that cancel the dosha; read the full 36-point report rather than one koota.

Yoni. Uttara Phalguni is Cow yoni. The same yoni — Uttara Bhadrapada — scores the full 4 of 4. Its sworn-enemy yoni is Tiger, so Chitra, Vishakha score 0 of 4 in either direction.

Gana. Uttara Phalguni is Manushya gana. The Gana koota is directional — the score depends on which partner is the groom — and these are the engine's own values:

Nadi, yoni and gana are 18 of the 36 points; the rest come from the Moon signs and the count between the two stars. Full kundli matching · Matching by name · Nakshatra porutham

Times are for Kolkata. The Moon enters and leaves a nakshatra at the same instant everywhere, so another city changes only the clock these are written in. The Moon takes about 27.3 days to come back to the same star and stays roughly a day each time.
