Uttara Ashadha nakshatra (Uttara Āṣāḍhā)

Uttara Ashadha, the later or final victory, is linked with lasting achievement won by right means. It is described as principled, responsible and patient.

In the Vimshottari dasha system, Uttara Ashadha's ruler Sun governs a period of 6 years.

Is Uttara Ashadha your birth nakshatra? Today's Panchang

27 lunar mansions of 13°20' each starting at 0° sidereal Mesha (Ashwini). Each has 4 padas of 3°20' (padas map to the navamsa signs, Ashwini pada 1 = Mesha navamsa). Lord = Vimshottari dasha lord (sequence Ketu, Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, repeated 3 times; dasha years 7, 20, 6, 10, 7, 18, 16, 19, 17 = 120). Abhijit (deity Brahma; Vega region, traditionally 6°40' Makara to 10°53'20" Makara, the last quarter of Uttara Ashadha plus the first 1/15 of Shravana) is the 28th nakshatra of the older Vedic lists and of muhurta work, but it is NOT counted in the 27-fold zodiac used for birth nakshatra, dasha and panchang. Gana, yoni and nadi are the Ashtakoota (marriage-matching) attributes; the yoni animal pairs are standard, but some sources swap the male/female assignment within a pair (e.g. Rohini/Mrigashira). Deities: older Vedic texts (e.g. Taittiriya Brahmana) swap Bhaga and Aryaman between the two Phalgunis; most Jyotish sources give Bhaga to Purva and Aryaman to Uttara as here. Chitra's deity is Tvashtar in Vedic texts, Vishvakarma in later ones. Symbols vary between sources; the most common is given first. Descriptions are traditional character sketches, not predictions.
