Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra in vedic astrology

The twenty-sixth Nakshatra of the Zodiac

Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra, which spans from 03°20' to 16°40' degrees in Pisces zodiac sign, is the 26th Nakshatra in the zodiac as per Hindu astrology. The Nakshatra of Uttara Bhadrapada has a short name Uttarabhadra Nakshatra. The symbol for Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is the back legs of a funeral cot or funeral bed, which is used to carry the dead for their funeral pyre.

The presiding deity associated with Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is Ahirbudhnya (aka Ahir Budhya), the Serpent of the Depth. The Serpent of ancient depths signifies movement and isolation or it collectively may signify the movement in isolation. Hence this lunar mansion is connected to any kind of solitude and retirement. The ruling deity Ahirbudhnya by extension even rules the powers of Tantra and Kundalini Shakti. Kundalini energy is an energy that is linked with the process of spiritual evolution and supreme wisdom. Kundalini energy connects the aspects of Ayurveda and occult science. So sometimes this energy is linked with knowledge, the enlightenment and the process of enlightenment. And even some extraordinary abilities due to some connections with occult science.

Uttara Bhadrapada represents people who are benevolent and self-sacrificing. Uttara Bhadrapada natives may benefit through things like gifts, donations and inheritance.

In Vedic astrology, any Purva and Uttara pair of Nakshatras are two parts of the same astronomical asterism, which are rather too big to be distinguished as one Nakshatra. Purva means former and Uttara means later part of an astronomical Nakshatra. Here that larger asterism is Bhadrapada.

Being a part of the same asterism, Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra and Uttara Bhadra Pada Nakshatra do share some of the similarities. But they also differ and diverge away from one another in some ways. This similarity causes many meaning of Poorva Bhadrapada Nakshatra to apply to this lunar mansion as well. In the matter of temper, it is easier to control the anger of Uttara Bhadrapada native than it is to control a Purva Bhadrapada native. Things like corruptness, cruelty and depravity are not so much prominent in Uttara Bhadra as they are in Purva Bhadra which is lorded by Aja Ekapada. Instead, it displays a greater level of restraints and planned evil actions. Overall Uttara Bhadra might have less negative traits as compared to the previous nakshatra.

Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra meaning and Characteristics

The symbolism of Uttara Bhadrapada stems from the fact that it is extremely unpredictable and can conveniently transform itself according to the demands of the situation. Hence, Uttara Bhadrapada resists being identified with archetypes. It is difficult to properly identify the inherent motivations of this nakshatra as it is a storehouse for various energies, expressions and natures. Apparently flexible, Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is determined to accomplish its set goals which are alleviated by the imagery of the wise old man.

Uttara Bhadra is often characterised by the act of postponing. And at the same time laziness, and physical and emotional indolence. Like the indigenous native tribes, the wisdom of Uttara Bhadrapada is acquired through experience and not knowledge. Calculation marks the apparent restraint of the natives with benevolent intentions, understanding and sympathy. As the arbiter, Uttara Bhadra natives can quash out a fire. The quality of good calculation makes them good with numerology, astrology, divination and yoga. The physical personality of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is a serene one that remains unaffected in times of trouble.

The position of planet Saturn goes a long way in affecting the performance of the Uttara Bhadrapada natives. Hence, the serpent of the atmosphere's underbelly often lies asleep. The latent inertia is overcome by the influence of complementing planets like Mars, Jupiter and the Sun. However, the wrath of Uttara Bhadrapada is controlled and sublime. And therefore even when it is at its worst, it is less depriving or cruel by nature as compared to Poorva Bhadrapada. This lunar mansion is characterised by reason and logic, so ensures that the verdict is best for all the parties involved.

It is known that this nakshatra refers to the Vana Prastha stage or the final stage of human life, which involves severance from all worldly and material ties. The aspects ruling this stage are secretiveness, reclusion, and respite from worldly duties. Uttara Bhadrapada is hence associated with 'Varshodyamana Shakti ' which indicates the power to bring rainfall.
