Sun in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra
The Sun in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra gives the Sun a more specific tone than sign alone. Uttara Phalguni is ruled by Sun, symbolized by two rear legs of bed, meaning "The Later Red One" or "The Latter Fig Tree", and it can color the planet with themes like a bit controlling, adored, always want to make things better for the world, and can be very stubborn. This page focuses on that combination, not a generic meaning of Sun or Uttara Phalguni.
