The lunar mansion
Integrity · victory · finish
Uttara Ashadha is the steady win. It is principled, patient and interested in lasting achievement more than applause.
Where it sits in the zodiac
Uttara Ashadha spans 13°20′. It begins in Sagittarius and crosses into Capricorn. Because nakshatras do not align with sign boundaries, a planet in a sign can be carrying the flavour of two different lunar mansions.
The four padas
Each nakshatra is divided into four padas of 3°20′. The pada adds a further layer of nuance and is used in divisional charts such as the navamsa.
Pada 126° 40′ Sagittarius — 30° 00′ Sagittarius
Pada 20° 00′ Capricorn — 3° 20′ Capricorn
Pada 33° 20′ Capricorn — 6° 40′ Capricorn
Pada 46° 40′ Capricorn — 10° 00′ Capricorn
The ruling planet
Uttara Ashadha is ruled by Sun, the planet of atma · soul, vitality, visibility. The dasha sequence begins from this planet when your Moon is in this nakshatra.
