Strengths

Uttara-phalgunis are loved by many. You are friendly, kind, generous, and have a genuine concern for humanity. You are inclined to fight for a righteous cause, and when you put yourself behind something you do it with courage and energy. Your ambition and endurance will probably lead you to the top of your field. Fame and success come naturally to many Uttara-phalgunis.

Your charisma draws many people to you, including romantic partners. There is nothing you find more satisfying than a fulfilling relationship, and you are a dutiful, loving partner. People find you to be trustworthy — you are truthful and have a polite, considerate nature.

In almost any situation, you can figure out the right course of action. You possess intelligence and wisdom and use these qualities to make prudent decisions. Your plans are well-thought-out and you execute them systematically. On your path to success, you use the knowledge that you gained in formal education as well as what you’ve learned through personal experience.

Uttara-phalgunis in Leo will have exceptional creative ability, able to create by overcoming constraints and restrictions. Those in Virgo will be drawn to think deeply about life, and possess a rather philosophical nature.

Uttara-phalguni Careers

Uttara-phalgunis will feel most fulfilled when interacting with and helping people in some way. Their critical thinking abilities make them suited for careers that utilize and stimulate their intellect.

Some ideal professions include:

  • Teacher or professor
  • Business advisor, financial advisor, or diplomat
  • Philanthropist, social worker, or counselor
  • Writer, actor, or media personality
  • Member of the clergy or other religious leader

Weaknesses

In the kind of successful, admired lives Uttara-phalgunis lead, it’s hard to escape the pitfall of vanity. Your conviction in your own correctness can make you think you’re better than others. This can make you inconsiderate or aloof with people when you’re not trying to get something from them. You may become fixated on your own status, and could be a bit of a megalomaniac.

You can be restless and may have difficulty sticking with something if it ceases to catch your interest. When your intellect isn’t stimulated, you get bored. This can lead you to desert projects prematurely.

“My way or the highway” is a mentality that describes Uttara-phalgunis well. When someone disagrees with your way of doing things, you don’t listen and will do your best to make sure that no one else does either. A bit of a know-it-all, you may stubbornly refuse to admit when you are wrong. People might let you have your way just to avoid dealing with the aggression and anger you demonstrate when you don’t get what you want.

Conscious development of humility will help you overcome your tendency to try to control everyone and everything, and lead you to more fulfilling relationships and greater happiness.

Other Personality Traits

You might struggle with a sense of loneliness. You tend to rely on others to make you feel complete. Your urgent need to be in a relationship is, to some extent, a desire to distract yourself from your inner loneliness. If you learn to love your own company, you can transform your loneliness into an appreciation for solitude and all that it offers.

You can be codependent. Because of your insecurities, you may give too much in your relationships and expect too much in return. This can lead to resentment and ingratitude towards your significant others, who will never be able to give you what you need — because the fulfillment you need can only truly come from yourself.

You have luxury. It’s likely that you’ll live an opulent lifestyle. Comfort, pleasure, and fine things will come your way.
