The nature of Uttara Phalguni
Loyal and helpful. Good at partnerships and keeping promises.
A nakshatra adds detail to your rashi. Two people with the same rashi can feel quite different if their Moon sits in different nakshatras.
The four padas of Uttara Phalguni
Each nakshatra is split into four quarters called padas, each 3°20′ wide. Padas are used for small details, like the first letter of a baby's name.

- Pada 2 starts at 0°00′ Kanya (Virgo). Its navamsha sign is Makar (Capricorn).
- Pada 3 starts at 3°20′ Kanya (Virgo). Its navamsha sign is Kumbh (Aquarius).

Uttara Phalguni and your dasha
If the Moon was in Uttara Phalguni when you were born, your life starts in the Sun (Surya) mahadasha. How much of it is left at birth depends on how far the Moon had moved through Uttara Phalguni.
