Ketu – Ketu represents Isolation, Separation, Spirituality, Mystical World, Other Dimension means things related to Alien World.

Leo - As Uttara-Phalguni is a part of Leo, Leo sign and its representations become important. Leo is 5th sign of zodiac belt, hence it represents the things associated with 5th house of horoscope like Love, Creativity, Arts, Being on Stage etc. Besides that, Leo is basically the Lion. This is the sign of feeling like King or Queen. Also, it is a sign of independence, Confidence, Ego, Self Esteem etc. Leo is consisted of 2 and half Nakshatra namely Magha, Purva-Phalguni and Uttara-Phalguni. Leo's lord is Sun.

Virgo - As Uttara-Phalguni is also a part of Virgo, Virgo sign and its representations also become important. Virgo is the 6th sign of zodiac belt, hence it represents almost all the things which are represented by the 6th house of horoscope like Debts, Diseases, Obstacles, Serving the under-privileged, Service Life, etc. Besides this, Virgo represents analytical or critical skills of people, being perfectionist and healing abilities. Virgo's basic representation is the lady coming in boat with wheat and herbs in her hands. So, Virgo is basically a sign of healing. Virgo consists of next set of 2 and half nakshatra. i.e. Uttara-Phalguni, Hasta and Chitra. Virgo's lord is Mercury.

Sun - As Sun rules Leo and Uttara-Phalguni, Sun's position and dignity is important to know about the overall functioning of any planet in Uttara Phalguni/Leo.

Mercury - As Mercury rules Virgo, Mercury's position and dignity is important to know about the overall functioning of any planet in Uttara Phalguni/Virgo.

Houses Involved – Also, we can’t afford to forget the houses involved as a planet can be ruling different houses and sitting in different house for every person as per ascendant and planet’s position. To know overall affect, we have to consider the houses involved as those areas of life are being impacted.

Interpretation of Ketu in Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra – Ketu is in enemy nakshatra/sign in Leo portion ruled by Sun here and it will be in sign of Mercury in Virgo portion. As it is nakshatra of hard work, working with details/analysis, especially in financial/legal field, and as Ketu represents our past-life expertise, it shows that these people can be really good at dealing with details and analysing things. They can be best seen as in editing related work. They can also be working as financial analyst, stock-market experts or Chartered Accountants etc. Especially if Ketu is in Virgo portion, mostly they are working in financial nature of work. This can give a person love towards analyzing and perfecting things. In other fields too, they can be seen as perfectionists. In both signs, they can be all about working hard and putting best efforts rather than looking for any authority. They can also be very good to drafting agreements, conditions and clauses. So, they can be seen as lawyers too, especially in Virgo section. Best representation of this placement can be a banker who is working in loan section.  

As Ketu itself represents separation, split, break-up etc, if Ketu is getting involved in relationship matters in a chart, it is never a good placement. Person will be feeling separated in relationship either physically or mentally or both ways. This will bring a tug-of-war kind of result where they may feel separated when they are in relationship but when they are single, they may desire relationship. As Ketu remains illusion, possibility of cheating is high in relationship. It is a challenging position for relationship where person may keep that perfectionist attitude with partner and due to which relationship can be spoilt.

Role of Sun – Sun placement is important to guide Ketu in right direction, being Uttara Phalguni and Leo's lord.

Role of Mercury - Mercury placement is important to guide Ketu in right direction, being Virgo's lord.

Other Factors – And of course, we need to consider conjunction, aspects, house lordship, house position and dashas etc to know the exact results of Ketu in Uttara Phalguni. So, we always need to take a holistic view of chart rather than just 1 planetary position.

Conclusion – So, this is how I see Ketu in Uttara Phalguni can work in a chart.

Hope this helps. Thanks,
