Uttaraphalguni is also related to the Dvadashi (12th tithi or day) of the waxing and waning phases of the Moon's monthly cycle.

Planetary Ruler

Sun is the planetary ruler of this nakshatra. The solar aspect of nature comes into manifestation in the earlier nakshatra, Krittika. Uttaraphalguni relates to the process where the solar principle affects and organizes the material world, just like Sun's rays can cook food in a solar cooker. The primordial solar principle manifests as willpower in Krittika, but it takes the form of intelligence in Uttaraphalguni, with the aid of Mercury.

Mercury is associated with Uttaraphalguni, due to the fact that a major part of Uttaraphalguni lies in Virgo, a sign ruled by Mercury. Uttaraphalguni is all about the linking between soul and intellect. Under this nakshatra's influence, the solar energy is directed towards actual practical work in order to achieve certain goals which the soul has set for itself, and also help out others along the way as well. Just as all living life on our planet is dependant upon Sun's rays, all society and civilization is dependant upon the guidance of this nakshatra.
