Uttara Phalguni
Sun · Aryaman, god of patronage and contracts
Where Purva Phalguni favours rest and pleasure, Uttara Phalguni - spanning the end of Leo into the start of practical Virgo - is about the responsibilities that follow: partnership, patronage and keeping one's word. Ruled by the Sun and governed by Aryaman, god of contracts and alliances, it favours steady, dependable service to others and lasting bonds built on mutual obligation. Uttara Phalguni natives tend to be helpful, generous and genuinely committed once they give their word.
