Nakṣatra 12 of 27 · उत्तराफाल्गुनी

Uttaraphalgunī — Uttara Phalguni

Uttaraphalgunī is the 12th of the twenty-seven nakṣatras, the 13°20′ arc from 146°40′ to 160° of the sidereal zodiac, within Siṃha (Leo) and Kanyā (Virgo). A Moon born here opens the Vimśottarī cycle in the daśā of Sun (6 years), with only the untraversed fraction of the arc remaining. In Kundli Milan its gaṇa is manuṣya, its yoni go (cow), its nāḍī ādi.

PHAL C19.2Phaladīpikā · Phaladīpikā 19.2

अग्न्यादितारपतयो रविचन्द्रभौम-सर्पामरेड्यशनिचन्द्रजकेतुशुक्राः । तेने नटः सनिजया चटुधान्यसौम्य-स्थाने नखा निगदिताः शरदस्तु तेषाम् ॥२॥

The planets presiding over the Dasas belonging to the nine stars composing each group are respectively the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Ketu and Venus, and their respective years are 6, 10, 7, 18, 16, 19, 17, 7 and 20.

Melāpaka doctrine

MILAN.GANAMelāpaka doctrine · Muhūrta Cintāmaṇi tradition · Melāpaka · Gaṇa kūṭa (Vivāha-prakaraṇa tradition)

Doctrine recordGaṇa (6 guṇas) — each nakṣatra belongs to the deva, manuṣya or rākṣasa gaṇa (temperament class). The same gaṇa earns 6; deva with manuṣya 5–6; deva with rākṣasa 1; manuṣya with rākṣasa 0. A mismatch here (gaṇa-doṣa) signals a clash of basic temperament, softened when the Moon-sign lords are friends.

MILAN.YONIMelāpaka doctrine · Muhūrta Cintāmaṇi tradition · Melāpaka · Yoni kūṭa (Vivāha-prakaraṇa tradition)

Doctrine recordYoni (4 guṇas) — each nakṣatra carries an animal nature (aśva, gaja, meṣa, sarpa, śvāna, mārjāra, mūṣaka, go, mahiṣa, vyāghra, mṛga, vānara, nakula, siṃha). The same yoni earns 4; friendly yonis 3; neutral 2; unfriendly 1; the sworn-enemy pairs (horse–buffalo, elephant–lion, sheep–monkey, serpent–mongoose, dog–hare/deer, cat–rat, cow–tiger) earn 0. It measures instinctive, physical compatibility.

MILAN.NADIMelāpaka doctrine · Muhūrta Cintāmaṇi tradition · Melāpaka · Nāḍī kūṭa (Vivāha-prakaraṇa tradition)

Doctrine recordNāḍī (8 guṇas) — the heaviest kūṭa. The 27 nakṣatras cycle through the three nāḍīs (ādi, madhya, antya), the constitutional current. DIFFERENT nāḍīs earn the full 8; the SAME nāḍī earns 0 and is nāḍī-doṣa, the gravest melāpaka objection (held to bear on progeny and health). The doṣa is classically waived when the two Moons share one rāśi with different nakṣatras, or one nakṣatra with different pādas.
