Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra: Meaning

333°20 to 346°40 · Mina

Uttara Bhadrapada, twenty-sixth nakshatra of Meena, is watched by the serpent of the depths; Shukra's exaltation falls elsewhere; Shani dasha, 19 years.

A serpent of the abyss watches over Uttara Bhadrapada. He is called Ahi Budhnya, a figure as enigmatic as the ruler of its neighbor, and whose name teaches nothing about anyone born under these stars. Uttara means the second of the two.

It borrows its stars from the two other corners of the Square of Pegasus. Its image is the same as for the other Bhadrapada, a bed or a double figure.

The twenty-sixth nakshatra, it runs from 3°20 to 16°40 of Meena. One detail clears up a frequent confusion: the exaltation of Shukra, at the twenty-seventh degree of Meena, belongs to Revati and not to this one.

Shani rules its dasha, which extends over 19 years.

Your Moon in Uttara Bhadrapada

Expressing yourself well: that is the first talent of the Moon in Uttara Bhadrapada. A skillful speech, carried by a joyful mood. With it come uprightness and the power to triumph over adversaries. Not the slightest shadow in this picture, the only one for this position.

Think of the building owners' meeting that was turning sour and that you defuse with one well-placed sentence. On the sky side, your Moon was in Meena, from 3°20′ to 16°40′, a sidereal sign. Shani ruled the dasha of your birth.

Its ruler is Shani: life begins in the Shani dasha. It sits in Pisces sidereal.
