Guest guest Posted December 29, 2001 Report Share Posted December 29, 2001 Dear list members Here is my take on Uttara Phalguna These people often find their way into management as they combine hard work with good intelligence and hence are noted for their productivity .This nakshatra is symbolised by the lower end of the bed and not without good reason as people born under this nakshtra are often noticed for their sexual escapades(Bill Clinton,Warren Beatty,Jack Nicholson) .This nakshatra is ruled over by Aryama the Demigod of patronage and these people are eager to alleviate suffering and help others through generosity . However the twist here is that seeing themselves as the one who bestows favors upon others when favors are bestowed upon them they can be completely ungrateful . They tend to be accurate judges of persons and situations and therefore stand out for their intelligence but they can behave quite indiscreetly and therefore the wisdom may not be commeasurate with the intelligence . Although they can accurately size up a situation they often appear extraordinarily puzzled that someone else can end up with a different perspective . If one can tolerate their pride they are certainly lively people to be around and make good friends as they are keen to help others .Just don't expect any gratitude if you return the favor . :-) Best Wishes Nicholas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Dear Nicholas I thought that U.P. also represented family on some level....no? that is why I thought with moon in the 10H my social work with families was relevant to this nakshatra.... marcia ps. I can attest to the pride,it is hard to accept things from others. I don't know if it is ingratitude, from my perspective, or more the feeling that i should get it or do it on my own. shame, which looks to others like ingratitude? is there an element of independence associated with U.P. as well?

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2001 Report Share Posted December 30, 2001 Dear Marcia Thanks for that .It is always great to get perspectives from inside the nakshatra to add to the ones you can pick up from outside the nakshtra . I haven't heard that UP is connected to families but having the moon which has in its portfolio emotional connections in the 10th house of career in the nakshtra UP which is renowned for generous help rendered to others it is no wonder that you have the occupation that you do .Fits together perfectly . Interesting UPs feel that they should obtain through their own efforts which may to others be interpreted as pride or ingratitude . Shows there are two sides to every story . Yes there are definite signs of independence with UP which is one reason they do well as managers . Hastas on the other hand are better as advisor to the manager than being the manager themself .Chitra managers (such as JFK and Pierre Trudeau ) can have tremendous charisma but may not be as effective as the glamour appears . Such are the differences between the different nakshatras that make up the same rasi Nicholas - Marcia gjlist Monday, December 31, 2001 11:11 AM Re: [GJ] Uttara Phalguna Dear NicholasI thought that U.P. also represented family on some level....no?that is why I thought with moon in the 10H my social work with families was relevant to this nakshatra....marciaps.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2001 Report Share Posted December 31, 2001 Dear Cynthia I have not got too much more to offer .One person who nicely typifies this nakshatra is Pope John Paul 2 a highly intelligent,capable leader full of concern for the suffering . He is born on the smaller Leo side of this nakshatra .There are 577 or so members on this list so there must be quite a few who have some influence of this nakshatra either by rising or by Moon position and so maybe they could offer their insights .Basically falling mainly in the service sign of Virgo(6th house) this nakshatra produces servant leader types .Apprently Bill Clinton would spend considerable time talking to ordinary people and finding out how they felt about his presidency .

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Happy New Year Nicholas, Cynthia and the rest of the list! Regarding U.P....... I pulled out my notebook from a class I took with Dennis Harness a couple years ago, on the nakshatras. He elaborated on the patronage element to this star, as well as an advocate that fights for "righteous causes" . This I personally can relate to, give me a social cause and I rally. I also can get very emotional when large crowds gather for social causes, such as huge music events that musicians put together to raise money for a social event. But back to Dennis--- Strong abandonment issues are woven into this nakshatra, and natives tend to want deeper meaningful relationships over superficial connections. There is also an element of family unity, and wanting to protect the family unit. And it is a sattvic star, whatever that means. I don't have that part of the nakshatras down yet, regarding sattvic, dharmic, etc. I know it means the main motivation is spiritual liberation, but I haven't figured out how these elements play into the person's life, in an everyday kind of way.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2002 Report Share Posted January 1, 2002 Hello Dear Cythia, Nicholas, Marcia, Das, and All List Members - A Very Happy New Year To You All Cythia, I've wanted to write a response since you first started on this with all the fun with the Nakshatras. It's been wonderful to hear your take and the lively responses. Great insights and I like the personality you somehow attach to them. It's given a great way to develop understanding of them with more depth more thoroughly for me. Huge thanks. All list members contributions on Nakshatras have been wonderful to see - thanks for all. I have my Mars in Uttara Phalguna, Mars is YogaKaraka in my chart with Leo rising and this Mars is then located in the second house. I'll give some thought to exactly what I think it gives me and the influence of this Uttara Phalguna. I do have immense energy for study and also to do lots of things with my hands related to creating anything that is useful. This second house has Venus as well, and Saturn sandwiched between the two. I love doing things with my hands but seem to always be drawn straight away to something that can be used, eaten, worn, listened to, etc. I have for some time, years now, been doing a lot of work on our house, tiling, laying stone, tearing down walls and helping to build new ones, painting, carving. Again, all kind of arty stuff but for some use and more crafty than arty. ..... I do teach cooking, spinning, knitting as well. Or should say I have often in the past. Teaching less recently. My Saturn is in Hasta which has to do with hands, correct. (Venus is Chitra, and this Mercury that houses them all in Virgo is Mula. I don't know if any of this will explain this direction more.) I also play a Celtic harp - again HANDS! This is all kind of outer worldly things but the passion and drive behind it perhaps from this Mars. I will give some thought to what I think it gives me more internally. There is definitely an energy and quest, need really, to beautify my surroundings in ways that are useful. I also wanted to mention something else you all may have some insight into or noticed before in your work with regards to Nakshatras: I have Ketu in my first house and it's in a Ketu lorded Nakshatra (Magha) and then Mercury, again it's also the Lord housing the three above planets, is in the 5th in a Ketu lorded Nakshatra (Mula). Now this is really odd but since my studies have begun with Jyotish, I've wondered if this Ketu may be the answer to this: You know how some alarm systems have a motion detector... When I enter a room, not every time, but very often, and the system is on, it does not detect me for quite some time. This is just not the case with anyone else that enters, right off the bat it picks them up. Also, at traffic lights where the light has to pick up your car to signal the light to change (you know late at night or very early mornings, etc.) I can often sit forever and they just don't pick up me - and my heavy auto - at all. Again, not every time, but often. My family always takes great delight in these oddities and anyone else around finds it pretty odd, such as the guy who installs and works the alarm systems. It seems he just didn't believe me until he saw it himself... kind of funny... ;-) Sounds like Ketu... (And Ketu and Mercury are electricity right.) Again, thanks for all the Nakshatra tales, explanations and insights that have been busy on here for awhile. They have been VERY helpful and useful in learning and really enjoyable. All best regards, Patrice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcia Dear Marcia, I think you mean Uttara Phalguni nakshatra, as listed in GJ's material. Its 'guna' or quality is listed there as raja, not sattva. Raja being passion, sattva being goodness, and tama being ignorance. That's how I understand it as presented in GJ. regards Arthur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
