ABOUT UTTARA BHADRAPADA
Uttara Bhadrapada is the twenty-sixth of the 27 Nakshatras and lies entirely in Pisces (Meena), from 3°20′ to 16°40′. Its ruling planet is Saturn, and its presiding deity is Ahirbudhnya, the serpent of the deep waters. Its stars are Algenib in Pegasus and Alpheratz in Andromeda, which form the eastern side of the Great Square.
Its symbols are the twins, the back legs of a funeral cot, and the snake in the water. Together they stand for depth, for the passage between worlds and for hidden strength. Its power is Varshodyamana Shakti, the power to bring the rains, which means to bring a flow of life-giving energy.
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Those with the Moon in Uttara Bhadrapada are calm, wise and compassionate. They have a deep inner life and often a spiritual outlook. They are patient and self-controlled, slow to anger, and able to stay steady when others panic.
Saturn gives discipline and a sense of duty, and Pisces gives imagination and empathy. They have a natural ability to listen, to counsel and to hold the pain of others without being overwhelmed.
STRENGTHS
Wise, steady and generous. They are good listeners with a gift for counselling, and they are disciplined, hard working and kind. They have strong willpower and a calm manner, and they are often drawn to meditation, charity and service.
CHALLENGES
They can be reserved, lazy at times or too withdrawn, and may hide their feelings until pressure builds. They may be pessimistic or slow to act, easily drained by other people’s problems, and prone to isolation or avoidance.
CAREER
Counsellors and psychologists, spiritual teachers and yoga instructors, doctors and nurses, social workers and charity workers, researchers and writers, teachers, lawyers, workers in hospitals, ashrams or old-age care, and jobs connected with water, the sea or hidden resources.
HEALTH
Uttara Bhadrapada is linked with the feet, ankles and intestines. Those with the Moon here may be prone to problems of the feet and ankles, digestion and constipation, fluid retention and low energy.
REMEDY FOR UTTARA BHADRAPADA NATIVES
Worship Lord Shiva, in his form as Ahirbudhnya, and the serpent deities. Saturday is the day of Saturn, the ruler of this nakshatra, so prayers, charity and service to the elderly and the needy on Saturdays are especially good.
Meditation and yoga suit the nature of this star. Chant “Om Namah Shivaya” 108 times when the Moon transits Uttara Bhadrapada. This is believed to ease afflictions.
