26°40′ Leo – 10°00′ Virgo · ruled by Sun · deity Aryaman, the patron of contracts
Uttara Phalguni, whose deity is Aryaman, the patron of contracts, is the star of the kept promise — the back legs of the bed. Friendship, patronage and agreements that actually hold.
The gift: loyalty at cost, and help that is structured to last.
The lesson: obligation mistaken for closeness. Named kindly: this is the gift pointed the wrong way, and naming it is most of the work.

| Quarter | Navamsa shade | Name syllables |
|---|---|---|

Classical matching reads two birth stars across eight dimensions. Four of them — ease (Tara), instinct (Yoni), temperament (Gana) and constitution (Nadi), 21 of the 36 points — depend on the stars alone, so they can be read for Uttara Phalguni exactly. These stars pair most naturally with it:
Stars that share Uttara Phalguni's Vata nadi — Ashwini, Ardra, Punarvasu, Hasta, Jyeshtha, Mula, Shatabhisha, Purva Bhadrapada — raise the constitutional flag the tradition watches, which comes with listed cancellations and is a conversation, never a verdict. The other fifteen points read from the two Moon signs, which the padas decide; a full check needs both charts.
