About this entry
Uttara Phalguni, the later Phalguni, begins at 26 degrees 40 minutes of Leo and finishes at 10 degrees of Virgo. Its first quarter is still in Leo and the other three are in Virgo. Its Vimshottari dasha belongs to the Sun, as for Krittika and Uttara Ashadha, and runs 6 years, and the navamsa, or ninth of a sign, changes each quarter from Sagittarius through Capricorn and Aquarius to Pisces.
In chapter XVI of the Brihat Jataka, the Moon here goes with general popularity, an income from learning and a comfortable life. It is one of the shortest entries in the chapter, three traits long in Iyer's English.
