Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra: the star of noble friendship

Uttara Phalguni is the twelfth nakshatra, bridging Leo and Virgo (26deg40 Leo to 10deg00 Virgo). Its symbol is the back legs of a bed, and its deity is Aryaman, the god of patronage, contracts and noble friendship. Where its sister star Purva enjoys pleasure, Uttara turns toward commitment, service and the dignity of keeping one’s word.
