The native of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is fair complexioned, strong, sacrificing, wealthy, scholarly, religious, and brave. Such a native is almost a second God for their family. He performs pious deeds and is the best in his family. The native is happy, endowed with sons and grandsons, and victorious over enemies.

#UttaraBhadrapada #Nakshatra in Astrology can be split as Uttara and Bhadhrapadha. Uttara means later, and Bhadrapada means gentle legs. So Uttharabhadhrapadha means after the baby is born.

Uttara Bhadrapada is one of the Urdhvamukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras, which have their mouths upwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to palaces, coronations, boundary walls, construction of tall structures can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: Two Legs of a #Bed
The symbol of Utthara Bhadhrapada is the remaining 2 legs of a bed. It suggests being on the bed for the birth of a baby.

Deity: The Ahirbudhnya
Ahirbudhnya is the deity of Uttara Bhadrapada. He is a #Rudhra. #Ahirbudhnya means the serpent at the base or belonging to the depth.

The yoni animal of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is the #female #cow.
Female cows are still known to be the most prosperous creatures in a household, family, farm, or dairy farm because of their ability to give milk through which we get butter, cheese, paneer, yoghurt, etc.
Cows are peaceful creatures and mind their own business.
They do not attack, plan, scheme and simply want to be left alone. Uttara Bhadrapada natives are just like cows.
They are not as aggressive and fiery as the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra, and they simply want to deal with things in peace and quiet.
They are nourishers who want always to be surrounded by nature like a mountain cow.
Cows can be extremely dangerous, and they can actually storm towards anyone and hit with their horn if they sense harm from someone to their calf, which is the protective nature of any mother.
Just like Uttara Phalguni, which is directly opposite to this Nakshatra, between 3-10 degrees of Pisces, the natives of this Nakshatra require a mate and would like to be with someone.
They are always looking for someone to have their calf, but this Nakshatra is far more feminine than the Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra.
The reason why Uttara Bhadrapada is considered as Laxmi Nakshatra is due to the giving nature of the cow.
Uttara Bhadrapada natives produce a lot of gas as they get older because cows are known to produce methane gas.
The deity of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is Ahirbudhanya, the water dragon who sleeps at the bottom of the ocean.
The word “Ahirbudhanya” is composed of two words, Ahi (serpent) and budhnam (bottom), so the word literally means the serpent at the bottom.
Ahirbudhanya is one of the 11 #Rudras, and he is the #God of #fertility and #kundalini. He is considered the son of #Vishwakarma, the celestial architect.
Ahirbudhanya is a cloud or serpent of the #atmosphere.
Rudras are connected with the atmosphere.
The Nakshatra of Uttara Bhadrapada provides rains and hence, provide the necessary element for life support on the Earth.
Many natives of this Nakshatra are always into spirituality, meditation, kundalini awakening and even possess the natural gift of changing the weather and bringing certain types of weather on call.
The question is why this Nakshatra gives such easy access to the natural DMT. This is where previous karmas come into play.
We get Nakshatra placements in our chart due to our actions and deeds from the past life, so someone progressing spiritually in their last life will gain access to advanced lessons by getting a high definition signal given by this Nakshatra.
The Ahirbudhanya story reflects perfectly in Uttara Bhadrapada native’s lives.
They are extremely secretive about their wealth, connections and skills.
They always hide their treasures in a safe place, where others won’t have access.
There is a strong connection with nature and the environment with these natives like Punarvasu Nakshatra and Ashlesha Nakshatra.
They need to be in nature and surrounded by water and mountains to feel at peace.
Do not mistake their peaceful sneak nature to be a dwarf and hiding in the mountains of gold like in fantasy adventure. Their underworld connection doesn’t just consist of treasures and occult, but also includes the underworld of mob bosses and crime.
All crime revolves around money, whether it’s drugs, gambling or money laundering.
Many times, these natives will have substance abuse issues and deal with drugs and though not connected to the underworld directly, but deal with the dealers of the underworld.

The two Nakshatras, #PurvaBhadrapada Nakshatra and Uttara Bhadrapada, are well connected, just like Purva Phalguni Nakshatra & Uttara Phalguni Nakshatra and Purva Ashadha Nakshatra & Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra.
Ahirbudhanya represents the water in the form of rain clouds, and Aja Ekapada, the deity of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra, represents lightning.
The holy water used for religious purposes in temples and churches (for baptism), etc., represents this water and may show energies of the Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
Like Aja Ekapada, the deity Ahirbudhanya also shows deep meditational aspects.
The sage Bhagirath brought the river Ganga from heaven to Earth.
He and his ancestor did pray to Goddess Ganga and then later to Lord Shiva to bring down the river Ganga.
He invoked Lord #Shiva (the #Rudra) to bring the heavenly holy water to Earth.
It can be noticed that many people who love ships, yachts, boats, scuba diving have a strong presence of this Nakshatra along with Revati Nakshatra.
The native wants to become a sea creature and is interested in venturing into the deep sea.
Attributes of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra in Astrology
Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is one of the Sthir or Dhruva (Fixed) Nakshatras. In these Nakshatras, things of fixed and permanent nature, things concerning one’s house, sowing of seeds, things or rites done for getting peace and the planting of a small garden, etc., can be auspiciously done.
Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is spread from 3’20” up to 16’40” in Pisces (Meena) Rashi.
Lord of Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra is Jupiter (Guru).
The star is adorned with a serpent-like symbol.
It looks like rice; its properties and attributes are like those of Ardra Nakshatra. Some attributes of Purvabhadrapada also are found.
Purvabhadrapada shows signs of contrition and atonement, while Uttarbhadrapada shows restrain.
Knowledge, learning, good counsel, personality – these also come within the purview of this star.
Anthropomorphically, this is the sole of the feet of Kalapurusha.

Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra in #VedicAstrology is one of the Adhomukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras, which have their mouths downwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to tanks, wells, temples, mining, digging, etc., can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: Two Legs of a #Bed
The symbol of Purva Bhadrapada is the 2 legs of a bed. It suggests a time to get admitted for a natural birth.

Deity: The Ajaikapadha
The deity for Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra is Ajaikapadha. Ajaikapadha can be split as Aja and Ekapadha. Aja means goat, and Ekapadha means one leg. Therefore, #Ajaikapadha means goat with just one leg. Ajaikapadha is considered heaven’s bearer. Ajaikapadha is a form of #Rudhra.

The yoni animal of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra is a #male #lion.
They sleep and sit around most of the day because they know they don’t have to move for anyone.
Purva Bhadrapda natives would have this in their consciousness, they have to work, they need to work, but if they didn’t have to, they won’t, but also what happens here is that the work they do is always unfulfilling and makes them unhappy.
They feel directionless in life because the lion yoni wants to feel relaxed and without responsibility.
Purva Bhadrapada natives feel like a vagabond until they do something creative, political, medical or activism activities.
They need a purpose in life, and most of the time, the purpose would be related to children as the Leo sign falls directly opposite to the Aquarius sign.
This Nakshatra’s main domination is in the Aquarius sign, while on the Pisces side, they are more introverted, fluent and at peace at the pace of their life.
The lion is also known for his roar and when these people get frustrated, pushed to the wall or angry, they will roar and scream to make their point, which can be very eccentric to others.
Like the lion who lunges on its prey, the natives will lunge on the one who becomes the prey in front of them by being a predator.
Lion’s job is to protect the cubs, which shows these people will be extremely protective of children and family at all costs.
People with other Nakshatras may not have such brutal protective instincts and are okay with life and what their young cubs are doing.
Purva Bhadrapada natives may go out there stalking their child’s move and making sure they are safe and sound.
These natives will also have a lot of hair on their body and will think more of their head hair, especially when this Nakshatra have effects on the 2nd house or 2nd Lord of the chart.
The lion being the animal of this Nakshatra shows the connection with #Goddess #Durga, who has a lion as her mount.
She killed the buffalo headed demon, Mahishasur.Summary of Purva Bhadrapada in Vedic Astrology
Lion is often used as a sign for Sun, as well as for a strong devotee.
God Narasimha, half man-half lion avatar of Lord Vishnu, had the purpose to save his child devotee Prahlad from his father Hiranyakashipu, who was killed under a unique set of conditions, such as at twilight (neither day nor night), on the doorsteps of his palace (neither inside nor outside), uses his nails to kill him (neither animate nor inanimate), puts him on his lap before killing (neither earth nor in space), which nullified the boon he had obtained from Lord Brahma.
Prahlada was the grandfather of King Mahabali.
Lions are not aware that humans consider them as the King of the jungle, they simply know that they are able to kill most of the animals, but a lion is there to watch for the pride, sleep and eat.
Purva Bhadrapada natives do excellently when in a position to protect children, working with children or large groups of people who protect certain aspects of life.
Another symbolism of this Nakshatra is that it has several symbols ranging from twins, funeral cot legs and two swords.
The symbolism of twin or two faces shows the polarity in these natives.
Natives with Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra may either be twins, or their family member would be a twin, but the strongest attribute is their ability to flipflop their views, answers, personality and mind.
They can actually come off as Vishakha Nakshatra natives with double personalities. Vishakha Nakshatra falls in the 9th house from this Nakshatra, which means one naturally will get personality traits from the father.
This can also be interpreted as being in two worlds.
Such natives are not only grounded in the affairs of this world but also have an affinity with the world, aliens, UFOs, paranormal, and death.
When it comes to the funeral cot, it shows their interest in death, health and life that is beyond the freshness of the living body.
They have a keen interest in pathology and how the body functions, but it also shows wanting to serve those who lay on the funeral cot.
It can be seen that such people are attracted to items that are old and dead in the culture. They love older antique items, which no one wants because they feel dead to an average person.
They are the people who will be purchasing an old VCR, boob box or old-style radio.
Aja Ekapada, or “the unborn, one-footed one”, is the deity of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
He is one of the Rudras and is the fire dragon. Aja Ekapada is often considered in his goat form and is considered to be the mount of Lord Agni, the God of Fire.
Aja Ekapada is connected with storms through Rudra and may also be connected with the Maruts, the wind Gods.
The archetypical unicorn may also be connected to the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
Seeing how Aja is one-footed, it can be seen that such natives will always have a leg injury where they will have to be on one foot for a while or on a wheelchair.
As a Rudra, these people are always attracted to natural medicine, herbs and acupressure.
Lions are animals that can take a lot of pain and survive. These people also love feeling pain in their body like a deep massage, acupuncture needles, etc. and just like Rudra, these natives are not lightweights; they will storm upon you when challenged.
They are extremely animated, wild and will like everything that 90% of the people will not.
If many people like classical music, pop, rock, Purva Bhadrapada natives will love punk rock and heavy metal.
If everyone enjoys mainstream hip-hop, they will listen to underground hip-hop.
If most like mainstream movies, they will like classic movies.
The one-legged theory is extremely true.
These natives will fold one leg to the other while washing dishes or doing some kitchen work.
A unicorn is a horse with wings and a horn on the nose.
The natives of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra will always love having a statue of wing angles and horses in their homes. As children, they would love unicorns or creatures which are a mutation of the original animal.
Aja Ekapada is the fire that is connected with funeral rites and can be considered to be the spiritual fire, which purifies one’s soul.
He is also connected with lightning, storms, black magic, and extreme occult groups such as Aghoris & other extreme practitioners of yoga or tapasya.
The fortnight that follows after the full moon in Bhadrapada Nakshatra (full moon in September or the Bhadrapada Hindu month) is connected with offerings to Pitris and is called tarpanam fortnight.
Aja Ekapad is equipped with a trident and is shown with a stag. Rudra pierced the head of Brahma, who was stalking Saraswati in the form of a stag.
Aja Ekapad is one-footed and connected with meditation austerities. He is connected with rishis and munis practising meditation standing on one leg.
The severe form of meditation or the left-handed tantra practice can be connected with this Nakshatra.
Purva Bhadrapada natives are the type of people who want to stop stalkers in their footpaths.
They can’t stand when an innocent being is terrorized, just like Brahma stalking Saraswati.
Most of the time, such people love doing investigations or love watching shows related to murder investigations and serial stalkers.
If other planets in the chart make a person’s action negative, then such people do such things instead of fighting against it.
Due to the connection with Rudra, they love the medical field, especially since it deals with life and death (funeral cot) and severe rituals.
The magic side of this Nakshatra gives natural interest in kundalini, magic, aliens, UFOs and other mythical activities.
Purva and Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra have a love for dragons.
The natives love stories of dragons as a child or even have one of those Feng-Shu statues in their home due to fire rituals and relation to fire with this Nakshatra, but it is truly the Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra that has this symbolism.
Lord Nataraja, the form of Shiva standing on one foot over the demon, can be a close resemblance to Aja Ekapada, though not the same.
In fact, every year in the Tamil month Maasi (Feb-March) from the day of Mahashivratri for the next few days, the Indian classical dance festival, Natyanjali, is held in Chidambaram.
It is at this time of the year the Sun is transiting or is in close proximity to the Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra.
Mushrooms are strongly connected with this Nakshatra as it is a vegetable/fungus standing on one foot.
In ancient times soma was actually considered as mushrooms.
They used to make a paste of mushrooms, ghee, and other herbs to create the som juice.
Attributes of Purva Bhadrapada in Astrology
Spread from 20’00” in Aquarius (Kumbha) up to 3’20” in Pisces (Meen).
The Lords are Saturn (Shani) and Jupiter (Guru). It causes burns, pains, and the native burns things to ashes, uses words that burn, uses harsh words, is of evil disposition, has cruelty, greediness, restlessness, feeling of despair and unsatisfied ambition, and sudden excess of anger.
Anthropomorphically, this is the side of the body of Kalapurush.
Description of Purva Bhadrapada in Vedic Astrology Treatise
According to Hora Sara: The native born in Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra will be adulterous, will have no permanent residence, be difficult to be won over, will enjoy, get money from the sovereign, is base, dutiful and long-lived.
According to Jataka Parijata: If a native is born in Purva Bhadrapada, he will be bold in his speech, mischievous, cowardly, and weak.
According to Sage Narada: The native born in Purva Bhadrapada will be sorrowful (particularly for an absent lover). He will lose to women, be crafty, be quite immersed in blaming others, hypocritical, impatient, and heroic.
According to Brihat Samhita: Under the star Purva Bhadrapada, one will be unhappy, henpecked, wealthy and clever, but a miser.

#Ardra #Nakshatra in #Astrology denotes that native has intellectual nature, passionate thinking side, is sharp-minded, looking for why and the cause behind things that happen in the world, has strong speaking talents, lack a large number of close friends, confrontations with others, master of debates and arguments, makes enemies easily, causing emotional pain to others, and can be turned away by society.

Ardra Nakshatra in #VedicAstrology is one of the Urdhvamukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras, which have their mouths upwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to palaces, coronations, boundary walls, and tall structures can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: A #Bead or a #Drop
The sign for this Nakshatra is a tear or a drop. This is an indication of seminal fluid that causes fertilization.

Deity: Lord #Rudhra
The deity for Ardra Nakshatra is #Rudra. The meaning of the word Rudhra is the one who makes #cry because Rudh means to cry. The deity for #Rohini is #Brahma and for Ardra is Rudhra. Brahma is the creator, #Vishnu is the maintainer, and Rudhra is the destroyer. You may wonder how come Rudhra came after Brahma instead of Vishnu. This is because the egg was formed and didn’t get fertilized. This means the creation and destruction happened but were not maintained. Vishnu is a deity of Shravana Nakshatra because, during #Shravana Nakshathra, the development of the baby is complete.

Characteristics of Ardra Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Ardra Nakshatra is a #female #wolf or a female #dog. A dog is the most fascinating creature on this planet.
It can love to the point that it will give its life for you, or it can bite and throttle someone’s bone if they cross their territory.
They are needy, emotional, and pack animals. They always want to be with you and feel abandoned when you go to work.
Dogs have alpha dog in the pack, usually in domestic settings, where there are more than 3 dogs.
One will always become the alpha, but there aren’t any alpha in wolves except the senior dog, who may be the pack’s parent.
They work as a team without a leader.
Translating these facts into Nakshatra is quite simple. Ardra natives require extreme loyalty in love and friendship.
They do not want to feel abandoned by you else, they either become extremely emotional or wild like the wolf to defend their loyalty for you.
They go to extremes of showing their loyalty by even giving their own lives, but when you cross them or their loved one, they will come after you like a hungry dog or wolf and eat the flesh off of you.
They are unpredictable, like a strange dog. You do not know if they are friendly or will try to bite you.
Therefore, everyone is cautious of approaching an Ardra native.
When Ardra natives gets angry, sad and frustrated, they will #howl and scream like the wolf, especially when the impact of malefics is on the planet placed in Ardra.
Usually, these people are calm and very private, like the wild wolves, which hide in the deep forest.
Wolves are excellent hunters in the world. Ardra natives love going hunting, which is also their symbolism of “The Hunter”.
They love eating wild game meat like elk, venison, wild boar, alligator etc. This quality of hunting also gives such natives good eyesight in the dark.
Such folks will always hunt for their object of desire when they like someone and will do whatever it takes to get them.
The deity of this Nakshatra is Rudra (Shiva). #Shiva is an #Aghori, the one who is #naked, constantly meditates, deals and #loves #death, knows the value of death, stays in #cremation grounds, eating wild fruits, berries of forest including meat.
Yes, Shiva did it all. All the things are in Shiva Purana. Shiva is known as #Bholenaath (the innocent one), he gives whatever you ask him.
He is always in meditation and calm, but if you were to disturb him from his meditation, he will not only destroy you but has the capacity of destroying the entire Universe.
Rudra (Shiva) is also one of the first #medicine #man from the #RigVeda.
He is one of the best physicians of all times. He was making medicine himself and healing people under the name Vaidyanatha (Lord of remedies).
Rudra is the embodiment of Shiva with armor along with bow & arrow, just like the Hunter of #Orion.
It’s said that one must worship Rudra in order to attain moksha.
Rudra was created by multiple Gods to get to Brahma, who was chasing his daughter for procreation.
Gods wanted something so powerful that could take Brahma down, and this is how Rudra was manifested.
Ardra natives are exactly like Shiva.
They are wild, unorthodox; they can go to the extreme of everything like extreme meditation, love, lust, anger, work, and emotions, just like how Shiva’s anger can destroy the whole Universe.
They are usually calm people who are wild in a silly sense.
They are very animated and can be boys of boys or girls amongst boys due to the muscle nature of this Nakshatra.
A girl usually is a tomboy in youth.
Once Shiva is disturbed from his calm mood or backstabbed, then they become Rudra and will destroy whatever is in front of them.
They are the ones who can throw everything from their desk when angry.
Ardra natives also make great physicians, and are related to pharmaceutical and Ayurveda professions.
Career is determined by using the Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha technique.
The symbolism of Ardra is a teardrop and a skull. The teardrop represents the drop of the storm.
A storm will always start out with a few drops on your head, and before you know, you are in a flood of water.
The drop is known as a “tear drop”, which is the teardrop of Shiva.
In real life, Ardra must face storms of emotions where tears just come out.
When they cry, they will cry a storm and usually, it can be over very small things.
The cry is not normal; it’s a cry with a howl and scream.
Out of all the Nakshatras, Ardra is the most emotional and with deep feelings, but the reason why they have such feelings is because the world is supposed to betray those feelings, so the water inside turns into a fierce storm.
It’s in their karma to deal with tears; therefore, they make the best actors in front of a camera.
When Ardra native reads a letter, email or text message from past, they can have a river of tears flowing out of them.
The symbolism of the skull is the mystical and realistic side of Ardra.
A skull is actually one of the best tools for an Aghori in the cremation ground.
They use the skull for drinking wine. It may be sacrilegious for us, but we are too dumb to understand the scientist (Aghori) practicing this science of nature.
There is a logical purpose why an Aghori smears themselves with ashes and drink from skull or eat the flesh of the dead.
The skull symbolism shows that Ardra is not afraid of death and is curious about the world of mysticism, occult, tantra, and magic rituals.
Skull is also where the hair grows, and Ardra represents the hair of Shiva.
The controller of this Nakshatra is #Rahu. All three Nakshatras of Rahu, which are Ardra Nakshatra, #Swati Nakshatra and #Shatabhisha Nakshatra, will have a lot of similar themes to them compared to other Nakshatra being ruled by a single planet.
Rahu is like Jupiter. All Rahu ruled Nakshatras love space, science fiction, astrophysics, the astral plane, fantasy and anything to do with the new-age technology.
Even though Ardra is a medicine man, but these natives are attracted to future technology.
Out of all the Nakshatras of Rahu, Ardra has the capacity to write a great science fiction book.
All Ardra natives dive into the fantasy of what is the world, how the world works, and what else is out there in the ether besides this blue planet, Earth.
Attributes of Ardra Nakshatra in Astrology
Ardra Nakshatra extends in Gemini (Mithun) from 6’40” to 20’00”.
When Surya enters Ardra, the Earth is said to be starting its menstrual course, that is, Ambubachi.
Ardra means wet or surcharged with water. Because the Earth is running her menstrual course, teardrops fall one after another.
From Rudra comes all suffering, persecutions and oppressions, anger, the ferocity of countenance or hideousness of noise. Rudra is another name of Shiva, the five-faced (Panchanana).
In knowledge, asceticism, renunciation, and enjoyment, he is the supreme consummation of all desires. He is a blue-throated one, the wielder of the tremendous powers, what could not be attempted, far less achieved by other Gods.
On one side, he symbolizes the perfect placidity and serenity; on the other hand, he is the symbol of all that is terrible. He holds the great serpent on his head and forehead crescent Chandra with his sweet-soft light.
At the same time, he is the most peaceful and the most terrible. And in all these are to be traced the intrinsic characteristics of Ardra.
Superficially, on the surface of it, Ardra stands for suffering, hardness, cruelty, murder, prison, theft, adultery, etc.
The root characteristic is oppression in order to purify. All male kidney troubles, connected urethral diseases and also uterine diseases of the females, come within the jurisdiction of Ardra.
Description of Ardra Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology Treatise
According to Hora Sara: The native with Ardra as his natal Nakshatra will have a wavering mind, be a crafty speaker, and will steal others’ money, be self-respected, will have few sons, be long-lived, and will have royal money.
According to Jataka Parijata: If at a native’s birth, the Moon is in Ardra, he will be destitute to wealth, fickle, with much physical strength, and addicted to base actions.
According to Sage Narada: The native born in Ardra will be interested in rituals related to tantra, adventurous, skillful in trading, fierce, and ungrateful.
According to Brihat Samhita: The asterism Ardra makes one perfidious, haughty, irascible, ungrateful, cruel, and sinful.

Characteristics of Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra in Astrology
The yoni animal of Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra is the #mongoose.
Mongoose is famously known for one thing, killing the snake and taking its deadly bite.
The mongoose is the one animal that can take on any type of snake species, from cobra, rattlesnake to a black mamba.
The behaviour of the mongoose is that it frustrates, annoys and makes the snake tired and only when the snake is tired does the mongoose attack and kill it with one hit.
Mongooses are also quite fond of Rahu (Pigs), or one of its cousins known as warthogs. They are known to come into the territory of mongooses and have them clean all the lice and ticks off of them.
This not only helps them get cleaned but gives mongoose a nice stuff to snack on.
Mongoose lives in a large group like a colony and is very social.
They are also known to breed between March-May and have a very unpleasant smell.
From the yoni animal, it can be seen that Uttara Ashadha natives will always have snake-like enemies and will flirt with snake-like people.
In a friendship, relationship or with co-workers, Uttara Ashadha natives will crush them or expose them to the world, and they feel undefeated in life.
Just like how mongoose sees the opportunity to kill the snake, Uttara Ashadha folks are extremely opportunistic, and when they see it, they go for it.
They jump into things before anyone else does and are not afraid of the challenge.
The warthogs receiving cleaning from these small relentless creatures show that they are able to help anyone in any type of condition.
They do not see species, colour, creed or caste.
Since pigs are connected with Varaha avatar, representing Rahu, and Rahu represents Muslims, Uttara Asahadha will always make a Muslim friend or have a Muslim lover in their life. It will be of a great benefit because, like the mongoose gets to feed on the ticks and lice of the wild pig, the Uttara Ashadha native will also be able to get many things to feed on through such people easily.
Due to the colonization nature of mongooses, they are very social.
They always want to take over things and set up their own eutopia wherever they go.
The symbol of this Nakshatra is the elephant’s tusk, which again shows that these natives are prolific writers.
They can write a trilogy and something as epic as Mahabharata written by the great Hindu God Ganesha.
The elephant’s tusk is pretty much a tooth, which Ganesha broke off and turned into an ink pen.
There are rumours that the originally written book by Ganesha is locked in the Padmanabhaswamy temple of Lord Vishnu.
The broken tooth shows dental issues that Uttara Ashadha natives need to deal with if this Nakshatra is influenced by malefics and posited in the 6th, 8th or 12th house.
Vishwadevas or the Universal Gods are the deities of Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra.
The universal Gods or the Vishwadevas have the power to grant invincible victory.
Viswadevas deals with universal moral principles.
The qualities governed by them are goodness, truth, willpower, time, desire, skillfulness, forbearance, ancestors, abundance and summit/peak.
Lord Ganesha, the elephant-headed God, is also connected with this asterism for being the one in charge of karma.
Lord Krishna is supposed to have displayed his true form, or the Vishwaroopa, to Arjuna in Mahabharata’s Kurukshetra, where he had the entire Universe, the Gods ruling the Universe as being one- Lord Krishna.
The animal connected with this Nakshatra is the mongoose, which could also be connected with Lord Kubera, who carries a mongoose skin purse, and rules the North direction connected with Mercury.
Abhimanyu, son of Arjuna, may also be connected with the last pada of this Nakshatra, as he was the one who broke through the Chakravyuha formation in the Mahabharata but ended up dying.
Parikshit, the son of Abhimanyu, was the only one who survived the Pandava clan even after getting impacted by Brahmastra from Ashwatthama.
The mythology clearly shows that Uttara Ashadha natives are undefeated in most of their undertakings.
They take the right and proper actions to make sure the victory is on their side.
Like Purva Ashadha Nakshatra natives, they are strategic about what type of war they are entering into and how they will conquer their mission.
Vishwa Devas are about morals and principles, and it translates into these natives as the anchor of their lifeboat.
Even the mob boss or a hard-minded criminal will have a set of principles that they will build their foundation on, like never killing children, women, or someone without a cause.
If you pay attention to the mythology, you will understand the word “Universal God”, meaning Uttara Ashadha natives do not have a single-minded approach to a single religion.
They believe in one universal God, one defining omnipresence.
They are always interested in anthropology, history and colonization of different religious beliefs in different regions of the world.
Krishna, who revealed his true self to Arjuna in the middle of the battlefield, becomes a key figure in this Nakshatra.
Krishna was known to be very apt, and he cheated many times in the Mahabharata to give Pandavas the advantage against their cousins.
The cheating was fair, as rules of the battle were not followed initially by Kauravas.
Uttara Ashadha natives are not afraid of cheating when they realize their enemy is serving them the same dish.
These natives are always in search of the answer of the true universe origins and who created this entire existence due to Krishna showing his Vishwaroopa (universal God form) to Arjuna.
Krishna also died with an arrow hit on the left foot by Jara, and so these natives always have sprained ankles and injury to their knee or leg, especially Saturn being the ruler of the Capricorn side.
Uttara Ashadha natives are the most powerful individuals within themselves.
One of the key features of someone who is in the power/position is their way of conducting themselves.
For example, a powerful banker, mob boss or CEO have a habit of always wearing the best things and smoking cigars.
Cigars have been the key symbol of such people to show their power in the world.
This Nakshatra deals with time, and they love to wear the best wristwatches so that they can keep track of time.
Saturn, the ruler of the Capricorn sign, is also the karaka of time.
Uttara Ashadha natives come to change things, and they make a big impact on society.
They feel it is their duty to give light to society at any cost, even if it means sacrificing their comfort and life. Uttara Ashadha stands for later victory.
When a person has this Nakshatra dominating in their chart, they will lose many battles in the early life but later become invincible and undefeated.
Attributes of Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra in Astrology
Spread from 26’40” Sagittarius (Dhanu) to 10’00” of Capricorn (Makara).
Lord is Jupiter (Guru) and Saturn (Shani). The derivatives from Uttara Ashadha are closely allied to those of Purva Ashadha.
The points of difference are that Poorva Ashadha spreads out, and it is concerned with extensiveness.
On the other hand, Uttara Ashadha is introspective and penetrative and is concerned with intensiveness, the results of the latter being more permanent than the former (Poorvashadha).
The deity who preserves this world and makes for its welfare is called ‘ganadevata’or Vishwadevatas.
There are ten ganadevatas Basu, Satya, Kratu, Daksha, Kala, Kama, Dhriti, Kuru, Pururaba, Madraba.
All their attributes are in this star. The warrior, the wrestler, the painter, the artist, the magician, the well-dressed man, the happy and successful men are influenced by this star.
A special characteristic of it is that it causes the native to be admired and socially applauded.
Another characteristic of it is that under the influence of this star, the native falls in love with an unmarried girl.
Bhishma of the Mahabharata was one of the 8 Basus, so under this star, one possesses self-control, restraint, endurance and firm character. There are special rituals for the worship of ganadevatas, which are more or less of specialised nature.

The sign for this Nakshatra is a tear or a drop. This is an indication of seminal fluid that causes fertilization.

Deity: Lord #Rudhra #rudra #shiva
The deity for Ardra Nakshatra is Rudhra. The meaning of the word Rudhra is the one who makes cry because Rudh means to cry. The deity for #Rohini is #Brahma and for Ardra is Rudhra. Brahma is the creator, Vishnu is the maintainer, and Rudhra is the destroyer. You may wonder how come Rudhra came after Brahma instead of Vishnu. This is because the egg was formed and didn’t get fertilized. This means the creation and destruction happened but were not maintained. #Vishnu is a deity of #Shravana Nakshatra because, during Shravana Nakshathra, the development of the baby is complete.

Characteristics of Ardra Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Ardra Nakshatra is a #female #wolf or a female #dog. A dog is the most fascinating creature on this planet.
It can love to the point that it will give its life for you, or it can bite and throttle someone’s bone if they cross their territory.
They are needy, emotional, and pack animals. They always want to be with you and feel abandoned when you go to work.
Dogs have alpha dog in the pack, usually in domestic settings, where there are more than 3 dogs.
One will always become the alpha, but there aren’t any alpha in wolves except the senior dog, who may be the pack’s parent.
They work as a team without a leader.
Translating these facts into Nakshatra is quite simple. Ardra natives require extreme loyalty in love and friendship.
They do not want to feel abandoned by you else, they either become extremely emotional or wild like the wolf to defend their loyalty for you.
They go to extremes of showing their loyalty by even giving their own lives, but when you cross them or their loved one, they will come after you like a hungry dog or wolf and eat the flesh off of you.
They are unpredictable, like a strange dog. You do not know if they are friendly or will try to bite you.
Therefore, everyone is cautious of approaching an Ardra native.
When Ardra natives gets angry, sad and frustrated, they will howl and scream like the wolf, especially when the impact of malefics is on the planet placed in Ardra.
Usually, these people are calm and very private, like the wild wolves, which hide in the deep forest.
Wolves are excellent hunters in the world. Ardra natives love going hunting, which is also their symbolism of “The Hunter”.
They love eating wild game meat like elk, venison, wild boar, alligator etc. This quality of hunting also gives such natives good eyesight in the dark.
Such folks will always hunt for their object of desire when they like someone and will do whatever it takes to get them.
The deity of this Nakshatra is Rudra (Shiva). Shiva is an# Aghori, the one who is naked, constantly meditates, deals and loves death, knows the value of death, stays in cremation grounds, eating wild fruits, berries of forest including meat.
Yes, Shiva did it all. All the things are in Shiva Purana. Shiva is known as #Bholenaath (the innocent one), he gives whatever you ask him.
He is always in meditation and calm, but if you were to disturb him from his meditation, he will not only destroy you but has the capacity of destroying the entire Universe.
Rudra (Shiva) is also one of the first #medicine man from the #Rig #Veda.
He is one of the best physicians of all times. He was making medicine himself and healing people under the name Vaidyanatha (Lord of remedies).
Rudra is the embodiment of Shiva with armor along with bow & arrow, just like the Hunter of Orion.
It’s said that one must worship Rudra in order to attain moksha.
Rudra was created by multiple Gods to get to Brahma, who was chasing his daughter for procreation.
Gods wanted something so powerful that could take Brahma down, and this is how Rudra was manifested.
Ardra natives are exactly like Shiva.
They are wild, unorthodox; they can go to the extreme of everything like extreme meditation, love, lust, anger, work, and emotions, just like how Shiva’s anger can destroy the whole Universe.
They are usually calm people who are wild in a silly sense.
They are very animated and can be boys of boys or girls amongst boys due to the muscle nature of this Nakshatra.
A girl usually is a tomboy in youth.
Once Shiva is disturbed from his calm mood or backstabbed, then they become Rudra and will destroy whatever is in front of them.
They are the ones who can throw everything from their desk when angry.
Ardra natives also make great physicians, and are related to pharmaceutical and Ayurveda professions.
Career is determined by using the Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha technique.
The symbolism of Ardra is a teardrop and a skull. The teardrop represents the drop of the storm.
A storm will always start out with a few drops on your head, and before you know, you are in a flood of water.
The drop is known as a “tear drop”, which is the teardrop of Shiva.
In real life, Ardra must face storms of emotions where tears just come out.
When they cry, they will cry a storm and usually, it can be over very small things.
The cry is not normal; it’s a cry with a howl and scream.
Out of all the Nakshatras, Ardra is the most emotional and with deep feelings, but the reason why they have such feelings is because the world is supposed to betray those feelings, so the water inside turns into a fierce storm.
It’s in their karma to deal with tears; therefore, they make the best actors in front of a camera.
When Ardra native reads a letter, email or text message from past, they can have a river of tears flowing out of them.
The symbolism of the skull is the mystical and realistic side of Ardra.
A skull is actually one of the best tools for an Aghori in the cremation ground.
They use the skull for drinking wine. It may be sacrilegious for us, but we are too dumb to understand the scientist (Aghori) practicing this science of nature.
There is a logical purpose why an Aghori smears themselves with ashes and drink from skull or eat the flesh of the dead.
The skull symbolism shows that Ardra is not afraid of death and is curious about the world of mysticism, occult, tantra, and magic rituals.
Skull is also where the hair grows, and Ardra represents the hair of Shiva.
The controller of this Nakshatra is Rahu. All three Nakshatras of Rahu, which are Ardra Nakshatra, Swati Nakshatra and Shatabhisha Nakshatra, will have a lot of similar themes to them compared to other Nakshatra being ruled by a single planet.
Rahu is like Jupiter. All Rahu ruled Nakshatras love space, science fiction, astrophysics, the astral plane, fantasy and anything to do with the new-age technology.
Even though Ardra is a medicine man, but these natives are attracted to future technology.
Out of all the Nakshatras of Rahu, Ardra has the capacity to write a great science fiction book.
All Ardra natives dive into the fantasy of what is the world, how the world works, and what else is out there in the ether besides this blue planet, Earth.
Attributes of Ardra Nakshatra in Astrology
Ardra Nakshatra extends in Gemini (Mithun) from 6’40” to 20’00”.
When Surya enters Ardra, the Earth is said to be starting its menstrual course, that is, Ambubachi.
Ardra means wet or surcharged with water. Because the Earth is running her menstrual course, teardrops fall one after another.
From Rudra comes all suffering, persecutions and oppressions, anger, the ferocity of countenance or hideousness of noise. Rudra is another name of Shiva, the five-faced (Panchanana).
In knowledge, asceticism, renunciation, and enjoyment, he is the supreme consummation of all desires. He is a blue-throated one, the wielder of the tremendous powers, what could not be attempted, far less achieved by other Gods.
On one side, he symbolizes the perfect placidity and serenity; on the other hand, he is the symbol of all that is terrible. He holds the great serpent on his head and forehead crescent Chandra with his sweet-soft light.
At the same time, he is the most peaceful and the most terrible. And in all these are to be traced the intrinsic characteristics of Ardra.
Superficially, on the surface of it, Ardra stands for suffering, hardness, cruelty, murder, prison, theft, adultery, etc.
The root characteristic is oppression in order to purify. All male kidney troubles, connected urethral diseases and also uterine diseases of the females, come within the jurisdiction of Ardra.

Sun’s Ingress (Jun 21st – July 4th) for Ardra Nakshatra
The Sun enters Ardra on Jun 21st and remains in Ardra till July 4th. If you are born during this period, your Sun is in Ardra Nakshatra.
According to the Sayana calendar, June 21st is a Solstice. In India, it is the summer solstice. On this day, the Sun changes its path till the December solstice.
Interestingly, Rahu or the north node of the Moon, owns this Nakshatra.
Rahu’s direction is the reverse of other planets, and these 2 things can be aptly correlated. Similarly, the winter solstice comes under Moola Nakshatra, and Ketu owns the Moola Nakshatra.
Therefore, both the Nakshatras, when the Sun changes its direction, starts to fall under Rahu and Ketu.
