Taittiriya Brahmana an ancient Vedic text says Uttara Phalguni in the Vedic order is ruled by Bhaga, the God of happiness. Its power the giving of accumulation or prosperity (chayani shakti) through marriage or union. Its higher basis is the wealth gained from ones own family. Its lower basis is the wealth gained from ones partner and her family. These three together bring about the accumulation of wealth. Uttara Phalguni brings the prosperity that results through union. It indicates both the need for union and for organizing the resources gained through it. Bhaga is also a God of wealth who brings about the right apportionment of resources. While the previous Nakshatra shows marriage this shows the setting up of the household for the newly married couple.
