ABOUT UTTARA ASHADHA
Uttara Ashadha is the twenty-first of the 27 Nakshatras. It runs from 26°40′ Sagittarius (Dhanu) to 10°00′ Capricorn (Makara), with its first quarter in Sagittarius and the remaining three in Capricorn. Its ruling planet is the Sun, and its presiding deities are the Vishvadevas, the universal gods. Its stars are Ascella and Nunki in the Archer.
The name means the later invincible one. Its symbols are the elephant tusk and a small bed, standing for strength and for the rest that is earned after effort. Its power is Apradhrishya Shakti, the power to give unchallengeable victory. Where Purva Ashadha is the start of the struggle, Uttara Ashadha is the victory that lasts.
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Those with the Moon in Uttara Ashadha are principled, steady and determined. They set long-term goals and pursue them with patience, discipline and integrity. They are slow to start but hard to stop, and their successes tend to be earned and lasting.
The Sun gives leadership and a sense of purpose, and Capricorn adds practicality and responsibility. They are respected for their honesty and for doing what they say.
STRENGTHS
Honest, reliable and hard working. They are natural leaders who stay calm under pressure, treat people fairly and think about the greater good. They are grateful, humble despite success and loyal to their commitments.
CHALLENGES
They can be too serious, stubborn or rigid, and may put work and duty before relationships. They may be slow to trust, reluctant to ask for help, and critical of those who cut corners. Their high standards can lead to loneliness or too much self-sacrifice.
CAREER
Government and public service, politics and administration, the military and police, the judiciary and law, senior management and corporate leadership, engineering and construction, teaching and academia, social reform and charity, and work connected with large organisations or institutions.
HEALTH
Uttara Ashadha is linked with the thighs, knees, bones and skin. Those with the Moon here may be prone to joint and knee trouble, bone and skin problems, and stress from overwork.
REMEDY FOR UTTARA ASHADHA NATIVES
Worship Lord Ganesha, the remover of obstacles, whose broken tusk is linked with the symbol of this nakshatra. Worship of the Sun, with water offered at sunrise, also strengthens it.
Honouring elders and teachers, and giving to good causes, are traditional remedies. Chant “Om Gam Ganapataye Namah” 108 times when the Moon transits Uttara Ashadha. This is believed to ease afflictions.
