Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra
Principled achievers — their victories are late, lasting, and earned in full view. Uttara Ashadha is the 21st of the 27 nakshatras, ruled by Sun, with Vishvedevas as its deity and planks of a bed as its symbol.
The four padas
| Pada | Moon sign | Navamsa | Naming syllable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Uttara Ashadha pada 1 | Dhanu (Sagittarius) | Dhanu | Bhe |
| Uttara Ashadha pada 2 | Makara (Capricorn) | Makara | Bho |
| Uttara Ashadha pada 3 | Makara (Capricorn) | Kumbha | Ja |
| Uttara Ashadha pada 4 | Makara (Capricorn) | Meena | Ji |
Uttara Ashadha straddles two moon signs, so the pada — which needs the birth time — decides the rashi. Each pada is also one navamsa, the ninth-division sign astrologers read for marriage.
