Uttara Phalguni and the Sun dasha
Because Uttara Phalguni is ruled by Sun, a Moon placed here means life opens with a Sun Mahadasha lasting 6 years. That single fact shapes the timing of an entire chart, which is why the birth nakshatra matters far more in Jyotish than the Sun sign most people know.
