#UttaraAshadha #UttaraAshadhaNakshatra
Sanskrit Name: उत्तराषाढ़ा (Uttara-Ashadha) comes from the Sanskrit words उत्तर (latter) and अषाढ (invincible). One meaning of Uttara-ashadha is “the latter invincible one,” indicating resilience, power, and good fortune.
Planetary Ruler: The Sun. In astrology the sun is considered the king of the planets. According to the Vedic understanding, the sun is an expansion of God. This planet is associated with the soul or self, leadership, happiness, success, self-realization, and spiritual enlightenment.
Nakshatra Group: Human. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Uttara-ashadha is a human nakshatra. People in this group are generally hardworking and motivated to achieve material success. Although they are generally kind, they can also be vindictive and self-serving.
Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius (first quarter) and Capricorn (second through fourth quarters). Sagittarians are fortunate and righteous. They are wise, warm-hearted, and spiritually-inclined. Capricorns are peculiar and powerful. They are intelligent, thoughtful, and careful in making decisions.
Deity: Vishvadevas. In Vedic theology, the Vishvadevas are a group of ten gods who represent the entire assembly of celestial beings.
Symbol: The tusk of an elephant. This represents awesome power, fearsomeness, and intimidation.
Power: To be undefeated. Persons born under the star of Uttara-ashadha are formidable foes. They have an indomitable spirit and make excellent leaders, fighters, and visionaries.
Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Uttara-ashadha are Bhey (भे), Bho (भो), Jaw (जा), and Jee (जी). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.
The meaning of the word Ashadha is festival or procession and Uttharashadha means later part of the procession. This means the later part i.e. cycle of birth of a baby has started.

Characteristics of Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra in Astrology -
- The yoni animal of this nakshatra is the mongoose.
- Mongoose is famously known for one thing, killing snake and taking its deadly bite.
- Mongoose is the one animal that can take on any type of snake species, from cobra, rattle snake to black mamba.
- The behavior of the mongoose is that it frustrates, annoys and makes him/her tired and only when the snake is tired the mongoose attacks and kills it with one hit.
- Mongoose are also are quite fond of Rahu (Pigs) or one of its cousins know as warthogs and are known to come into the territory of mongoose and have them clean all the lice and ticks off of them, this not only helps them get cleaned but gives mongoose a nice stuff to snack on.
- Mongoose live in a large group like a colony and are very social.
- They are also known to breed between March-May and have a very unpleasant smell.
- From the yoni animal we see that Uttara Ashadha natives will always have snake like enemies and will flirt with people who are snake-like.
- In a friendship, relationship or with co-workers, Uttara Ashadha natives will crush them or expose them to the world and they feel undefeated in life.
- Just like how mongoose sees the opportunity to kill the snake, Uttara Ashadha folks are extremely opportunistic, when they see it they go for it.
- They jump into things before anyone else does and are not afraid of the challenge.
- The warthogs receiving cleaning from these small relentless creatures shows us that they are able to help anyone in any type of condition.
- They do not see species, color, creed or caste.
- Since pigs are connected with Varaha avatar, representing Rahu and Rahu represents Muslims, Uttara Asahadha will always make a Muslim friend or have a Muslim lover in their life, and it will be of a great benefit because like the mongoose gets to feed on the ticks and lice of the wild pig, the Uttara Ashada native will also be able to easily get many things to feed on through such people.
- Due to the colonization nature of mongoose they are very social.
- Wherever they go they always want to take over things and set up their own eutopia.
- The symbol of this nakshatra is the elephant’s tusk, which again shows us that these folks are prolific writers.
- They can write a trilogy and something as epic as Mahabharata written by the great Hindu God Ganesha.
- The tusk of the elephant is pretty much a tooth, which Ganesha broke off and turned into an ink pen.
- There are rumors that the original written book by Ganesha is locked in the Padmanabhaswamy temple of lord Vishnu.
- The broken tooth shows dental issues that Uttara Ashadha natives need to deal with if this nakshatra gets influenced by malefics and is posited in the 6th, 8th or 12th house.
- Vishwadevas or the Universal Gods are the deities of Uttara Ashadha nakshatra.
- The Universal Gods or the Vishwadevas have the power to grant invincible victory.
- Viswadevas deal with universal moral principles.
- The qualities governed by them are goodness, truth, will power, time, desire, skillfulness, forbearance, ancestors, abundance and summit/peak.
- Lord Ganesha, the elephant headed god, is also connected with this asterism, for being the one in charge of karma.
- Lord Krishna is supposed to have displayed his true form, or the Vishwaroopa to Arjuna in Mahabharata’s Kurukshetra, where he had the entire Universe, the gods ruling the Universe as being one- lord Krishna.
- The animal connected with this nakshatra is mongoose, which could also be connected with lord Kubera, who carries a mongoose skin purse, and rules the North direction connected with Mercury.
- Abhimanyu, son of Arjuna may also be connected with the last pada of this nakshatra, which is the Abhijeet nakshatra, as he was the one who broke through the Chakravyuha formation in the Mahabharata, but ended up dying. Parikshit, the son of Abhimanyu, was the only one who survived the Pandava clan even after getting impacted by Brahmastra from Ashwatthama.
- The mythology clearly shows us that Uttara Ashadha people are undefeated in most of their undertakings.
- They take the right and proper actions to make sure the victory is on their side.
- Like Purva Ashadha they are strategic about what type of a war they are entering into and how they will conquer their mission.
- Vishwa Devas are about morals and principles and it translates into these folks as the anchor of their lifeboat.
- Even the mob boss or a hard minded criminal will have a set of principles that they will build their foundation on like never killing children, women, or someone without a cause.
- If you pay attention to the mythology you will understand the world “Universal God”, meaning Uttara Ashada folks do not have a single-minded approach to a single religion.
- They believe in one universal God, one defining omni presence.
- They are always interested in anthropology, history and colonization of different religious beliefs in different regions of the world.
- Krishna, who revealed his true self to Arjuna in the middle of the battlefield becomes a key figure in this nakshatra.
- Krishna was known to be very apt, he cheated many times in the Mahabharata to give Pandavas the advantage against their cousins.
- The cheating was fair, as rules of the battle were not followed initially from Kauravas.
- Uttara Ashada folks are not afraid of cheating when they realize their enemy is serving them the same dish.
- These folks are always in search of the answer of the true universe origins and who created this entire existence due to Krishna showing his Vishwaroopa (universal god form) to Arjuna.
- Krishna also died with an arrow hit on the left foot by Jara and so these folks always have sprain ankles and injury to their knee or leg; especially Saturn being the ruler of the Capricorn side.
- Uttara Ashadha natives are the most powerful individuals within themselves.
- One of the key features of someone who is in the power/position is their way of conducting themselves.
- If you watch any movie on a powerful banker, mob boss or a CEO they have a habit of always wearing the best things and smoking cigars.
- Cigars have been the key symbol of such people to show their power in the world.
- This nakshatra deals with time and they love to wear the best wrist watches so that they can keep track of time.
- Saturn, ruler of Capricorn sign, is also the karaka of time.
- Uttara Ashadha natives come to change things and they make a big impact on the society.
- They feel it is their duty to give light to society at any cost, even if it means sacrificing their own comfort and life. Uttara Ashadha stands for later victory.
- When a person has this nakshatra dominating in their chart they will lose many battles in the early life but later will become invincible and undefeated.
