Uttara Phalguni (Uttara Phalguni) - Four padas

## The four padas of Uttara Phalguni

Uttara Phalguni spans 26°40' Leo - 10°00' Virgo, split into four equal 3°20′ quarters. Each pada carries a different Navamsa (D9) sign overlay -- pick yours below.

Uttara Phalguni runs from 26°40′ Leo to 10°00′ Virgo, ruled by the Sun with Aryaman, god of contracts and patronage, presiding. One pada burns in Leo; three work in Virgo. The navamsas run Sagittarius through Pisces, and the exact arithmetic of each quarter is set out in the table below.

Rashi placement

## Where Uttara Phalguni sits in the zodiac

The sign boundary at 30°00′ Leo divides this star unevenly: pada 1 belongs to the Sun's own Leo, padas 2 to 4 to Mercury's Virgo. The single Leo quarter is the patron in person, generous from the throne, the Sun operating in its own rashi. The three Virgo quarters are the patron's administration: the same promises kept through paperwork, service and detail. A native's Moon sign therefore depends on the pada, Leo or Virgo, and the star's character genuinely pivots at that line, from warmth that leads to warmth that organizes. What survives the crossing is reliability; Uttara Phalguni on either side of the boundary is the friend who actually shows up.

Navamsa progression

## How the four quarters of Uttara Phalguni unfold

Pada 1 pairs Leo with a Sagittarius navamsa, Jupiter friendly to the Sun: the benefactor at full confidence, the quarter that pledges publicly and means it. Padas 2 and 3 cross into Virgo under Saturn's navamsas, Capricorn and Aquarius, and Saturn is the Sun's classical opponent: these are the quarters where promises are kept at cost, through institutions, schedules and unglamorous follow-through. They are the working heart of the star. Pada 4, in a Pisces navamsa with Jupiter again friendly, closes the star gently: service widens into kindness that no contract required. The arc is a signature Uttara Phalguni story: the vow made in Leo, executed through two Saturn quarters, and forgiven its interest in Pisces.

Deity, gana & lord

## The forces behind Uttara Phalguni's padas

Aryaman, Aditya of hospitality, alliances and the honour of agreements, presides over Uttara Phalguni; the Sun rules it. Between them the star governs the kept word, patronage that outlives the mood it was made in. Manushya-gana, its virtues are civic ones. The deity's contract reads differently by quarter: in the Leo pada it is sworn in public, in the Capricorn-navamsa quarter it is enforced through duty, in the Aquarius-navamsa quarter it extends to the whole community, and in the Pisces pada it is honoured even when the other party cannot pay. The Sun signs; Aryaman witnesses; the padas execute.

How to find your pada

Your pada is read from the Moon's exact sidereal degree at birth. Uttara Phalguni occupies 26°40' Leo - 10°00' Virgo, and a new quarter begins every 3°20′ within that band, so a Moon near one of the boundaries in the table above can shift padas with only a small birth-time correction. Enter your date, time and place of birth in the free birth chart calculator to get the Moon's precise degree, then match it against the spans above.

## Frequently asked questions

Which pada of Uttara Phalguni is my Moon in?

Uttara Phalguni occupies 26°40' Leo - 10°00' Virgo, divided into four equal 3°20′ quarters: pada 1 covers 26°40′-30°00′ Leo; pada 2 covers 0°00′-3°20′ Virgo; pada 3 covers 3°20′-6°40′ Virgo; pada 4 covers 6°40′-10°00′ Virgo. Your own pada follows the Moon's exact sidereal degree at your birth, which needs a calculated chart -- a birth date alone cannot resolve a band this narrow, but a free birth-chart calculation from date, time and place settles it immediately.

Do all four padas of Uttara Phalguni fall in the same rashi?

No -- Uttara Phalguni straddles a sign boundary, which is its most practical structural fact. Pada 1 falls in Leo, while padas 2, 3, and 4 sit in Virgo. Two people born under Uttara Phalguni can therefore have different Moon signs, so settle the rashi first and the pada second when reading a chart.

Which pada of Uttara Phalguni is considered strongest?

Uttara Phalguni is one of the more evenly balanced nakshatras: none of its quarters carries an exalted, debilitated, own-sign or vargottama marker, so its padas differ by element and temperament rather than by classical rank. In every case the wider chart decides far more than the pada does.

Does the pada of Uttara Phalguni matter for naming a baby?

In the traditional Namakaran system, yes. Each quarter of Uttara Phalguni carries its own starting syllable -- टे (Te) for pada 1, टो (To) for pada 2, पा (Pa) for pada 3, पी (Pi) for pada 4 -- chosen from the Moon's pada at birth. Most families treat the syllable as a meaningful custom rather than a binding rule; for chart interpretation it is the pada's navamsa sign, not its sound, that carries the analytical weight.
