Nakshatra Uttara Ashadha

Uttara Ashadha (26 ° 40′ Sagittarius – 10 ° 00′ Capricorn)

Varahamihira: Anyone with the Moon in Uttara Ashadha will be obedient and know the rules of virtuous conduct, grateful, will have many friends, will remember the favors given to him and will generally be loved by all.

General Guidelines: Uttara Ashadhi’s symbol is an elephant tusk and her deities are the 10 Vishwadevs, sons of the god Dharma (righteousness) and the goddess Vishva (universality, all). Their names in free translation are as follows. Goodness, Truth, Will, Mastery, Time, Desire, Firmness, Ancestors, Brightness and Apex (Acme) are all attributes of Uttara Ashadhi. The properties of Purva Ashadha are also applicable to Uttara Ashadha as one of them is the previous (purva) and the other is the next (uttara) part of the same nakshatra. The only difference between the two is that Uttara Ashadha is more immersed in self-contemplation and has more constancy and firmness than Purva Ashadha. She is also not as aggressive as her friend.

If the lagna or Moon is in Uttara Ashadha, it often means honest, sincere people, respected and valued for their advice, who naturally become mediators and peacemakers.

The symbol of an elephant’s tusk leads some to conclude that this nakshatra is related to Ganesh, the god with the head of an elephant with one tusk, who is called to bless new beginnings and remove obstacles. Since Uttara Ashadha also means new projects and ventures that become successful and established, this nakshatra, if well placed, gives its wards the talent of bringing new things and the ability to bring these things to an end, to their logical conclusion. If it is poorly located, then the native will most likely work poorly from the very beginning and will not be able to complete the work he has started. An elephant’s tusk is sharp and therefore can pierce through. Physical penetration can mean penetrating the flesh (hunting, surgery) or moving through space to explore surroundings or discover new lands. Penetration on the mental plane can mean incredible insight as a limit of character.
