crippling freedom

The mentoring aspect of Uttara Phalguni is less like a woman who brings a man into fruition by educating him and spoiling him, but rather a teacher or a guru who comes along in an Uttara Phalguni’s life to help them fully grow into their potential (which is why I call this nakshatra the Late Bloomer). The Uttara Phalguni has usually lost their father or a family member (for Aang, it was the rest of the Airbenders and his original teacher). Their new mentor who finds the lost Uttara Phalguni is usually a distant family member or a friend, and their mentor leads the confused Uttara Phalguni native down a spiritual path where eventually the Uttara Phalguni discovers they are the Chosen One who their ancestors/predecessors determined to be a curse breaker for their bloodline (ultimately saving the world from “bad apples” being born again and again. That’s why this nakshatra deals with saving the world. It’s more so through generational curses. Uttara Ashadha is more so focused on saving humanity or the cosmos at large. Uttara Phalguni is doing it through breaking generational curses to stop those bad apples from recycling and destroying the world). This is usually something like the Path of the Arya or the sevenfold path towards enlightenment, which Aryaman is “godhead” of. Uttara Phalguni is a descendant (its basis above is wealth inherited from family). Magha is the ancestors and it’s also the King. This literally makes Uttara Phalguni a Prince/Princess. So they are usually inheriting a title of some sort (even through marriage, like in Queen Charlotte’s case). They are usually discovered in a poor environment while they usually have poor etiquette (manners are ruled by Aryaman. He is a noble man who represents enlightenment from following a sevenfold journey which represents awakening the 7 chakras and thus experiencing Kundalini awakening. He is basically the path towards enlightenment of the human mind. In Claire Nakti’s video she describes this as “Shakti awakening” which is basically the same thing, and she approaches it more from a male perspective. For me this nakshatra is based in the power of the feminine as the source of all life on Earth, hence its connection to Eve as the first mother of mankind, and why I call it the “Woman herself” or “feminine excellence.” Aryaman is an original ancestor. He represents the source of life that we all come from and the path we take to realize that. For men, they must learn to surrender. There is a guru who has Uttara Phalguni mercury AK and he focuses on honoring the feminine because it has been so overlooked and oppressed. This sevenfold path, and being a descendant who carries forward traditions, leads us to question where we come from so we can understand who we are. That is the baseline message of Uttara Phalguni. That is why for men, they must go down this path of enlightenment and self-discipline and recognize the feminine as the true source of all creation and power. That is what makes a man great because he is able to surrender his ego to that fact and embrace the beauty of it, which THEN allows him to treat his woman accordingly.

We see characters like Aang, who is literally mentored by his guru to align his 7 chakras after losing all of the airbenders and being stuck in an iceberg for 100 years (this literally represents the Late Bloomer - he was 100 years late in terms of growing up). We see Will from the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, who doesn’t have a father and is highly immature at 17 so his mom sends him to his Uncle & Auntie. It’s Uncle Phil who becomes his mentor and one of the most iconic father figures on screen.

Luke Skywalker fits this role perfectly. This is what I personally have been calling the “Warrior of Light.” He is lost, without his father (pitru dosha aspect. these natives are destined to clear karma for their paternal bloodline). Then Obi-Wan becomes his mentor. Then Luke realizes he is “the Chosen One” and a Jedi who follows the light. He is trained and passed down knowledge from his mentor (Uttara Phalguni represents traditions being passed down). He is also somewhat raised by Obi-Wan as Luke is still childish or immature in his own ways. For Simba, he lost his father and was misguided. His friends became his mentor. For Mia from the Princess Diaries (who also had karmic dynamic with her father in the movie), it was her paternal grandmother portrayed by Uttara Phalguni Julie Andrews, who taught her how to grow into a poised woman with etiquette before she inherited her role as Queen of Genovia one day. (All of this I’ve been saying so please don’t act like this is new! Thank you).

I’ve been saying all of this about the Warrior of Light. It’s usually a family member or a friend who mentors the Uttara Phalguni who is in the stage of a Late Bloomer that needs to be guided the right direction. The Uttara Phalguni is usually a Late Bloomer because of Pitru Dosha (generational curses inherited from paternal side of family).

The Uttara Phalguni is especially the state of a girl growing into a woman and owning her sexuality and spiritual power as the yoni is source of all creation. This is what makes these women obsessed with their power as a woman (again, I’ve gone over this so many times. It’s why we see these women talking about what it means to be a woman and how she knows how to deal with the animalistic nature of men). There’s usually a lot of coming-of-age energy around Uttara Phalguni as it represents a child growing into an adult and being given the correct tools to become a strong person because this can be seen especially from a girls pov. It’s a significant turning point in a girls life when she starts to become a woman because it brings in so many issues like power & control and how that reflects a nation. One of my favorite coming-of-age scenes in this nakshatra is Hermione’s scene at the ball where she’s coming down the stairs and her friends realize she’s no longer a girl with a squeaky voice but a girl that’s growing up into a woman (it’s a sweet scene that depicts the true beauty of the coming into fruition aspect of this nakshatra as it’s the fully grown fruit tree). Emma Watson has Uttara Phalguni ASC.

I gave this nakshatra 3 tropes. The Fruit of Temptation, the Late Bloomer, and the Warrior of Light. I know some people can be very weird online when it comes to the things I post so I just want to iterate my perspective which I’ve been generous with for a long time (which led to people taking a lot of my research as their own and not giving credit. People are just weird about what I say and I’m here to establish what I see so people don’t think I took this from anybody else.)
