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.

University Hospitals pilot program offering #acupuncture for #fertility

It's estimated between 10%-15% of couples experience fertility issues. The reasons can cause stress and certainly impact well-being.
A year ago, University Hospitals Fertility Center surveyed patients about what they felt were their unmet psychosocial needs. The survey found that 80% of survey participants wanted to use acupuncture in their journey and 70% desired health, nutrition, stress, exercise, and supplement guidance.

"There's actually a lot of research around specifically acupuncture and IVF treatment. It's been studied for, I want to say, over 15 years now. And we continue to see success with adding acupuncture to IVF protocols. I take it a step further and also add the lifestyle medicine piece to the fertility journey, because I think it's important to focus on nutrition, stress management, sleep, exercise because we see a correlation to helping fertility as well in the research. So our our Vitamix group is really focused on learning all of those tools and then having the support of a health coach to implement those healthy habit changes that are often hard to do on your own. And incorporating that with other modalities like acupuncture, massage, chiropractic that we offer here as well," said Christine Kaiser, DACM, LAc, LCH, FABORM who is the Connor Endowed Director of Reproductive Well-being and Clinical Manager of Acupuncture at University Hospitals Connor Whole Health.

The #West has disastrously low #birthrates that are particularly bad among the Indo-European (White) people-group.

Meanwhile, according to 2015 #UN #data, we are sterilizing ~30% of our reproductive #population & around another 40% is using #contraception.

I could understand this situation if our birthrates were excessive, or if there was legitimate #overpopulation, but our birthrates are disastrously low & we are importing mass #immigration, so clearly we are not overpopulated.

This is a #depopulation agenda without a #democratic mandate from the people.

This is part of a longterm #plan to reduce the #autochthonous #European #population & then import the #African population when #Africa inevitably collapses due to their population exceeding their #resources & #infrastructure.

Fertility of mega-urban regions 2020. Only 8 cities, Jakarta (Indonesia), Manila (Philippines), Cairo (Egypt), Karachi (Pakistan), Lagos (Nigeria), Johannesburg (South Africa), Lahore (Pakistan), and Kinshasa (DR Congo), out of 41 on the list, had fertility rates above replacement rate. At the top of the list is "Pearl River Delta", which is Shenzhen (China) and the surrounding metropolitan area (Dongguan, Foshan, Huizhou, Jiangmen, Zhongshan), with 55.7 million people and a total fertility rate of 1.10 children per woman, Tokyo (Japan) with 38.4 million people and a fertility rate of 1.2, Shanghai (China) with 38.0 million people and a fertility rate of 0.95, and Dehli (India) with 30.3 million people and a fertility rate 1.6. The table also shows fertility rates for the country the metro area is in, and you can see it is lower for all 41 metro areas on the table. Which suggests that urbanization causes fertility declines. Though correlation is not causation, as the famous saying goes, so you still have to prove causation. From a Twitter account called "Birth Gauge (@BirthGauge)", a Twitter account apparently created solely for "tracking the global fertility decline".

According to Pfizer data reported to the FDA and recently released to the public via FOIA request, 20.07% of pregnancies are terminated as a result of administering the Pfizer mRNA "vaccine" to pregnant women.

Assuming the Pfizer data is authentic, this risk profile means that nobody who is pregnant should take the Pfizer mRNA Covid "vaccine."

Chemicals, radiation, and pollution lower sperm counts | Popular Science

Pollution could be harming sperm around the world

Baby, that's toxic.

By Ryan P. Smith/The Conversation | Published Aug 3, 2021 5:25 PM

Ryan P. Smith is associate professor of Urology at the University of Virginia. This story originally featured in The Conversation.

This article was updated to more accurately represent the chemical regulatory system in the US.

In the US, nearly 1 in 8 couples struggles with infertility. Unfortunately, physicians like me who specialize in reproductive medicine are unable to determine the cause of male infertility around 30 to 50 percent of the time. There is almost nothing more disheartening than telling a couple “I don’t know” or “There’s nothing I can do to help.”

Upon getting this news, couple after couple asks me questions that all follow a similar line of thinking. “What about his work, his cellphone, our laptops, all these plastics? Do you think they could have contributed to this?”

What my patients are really asking me is a big question in male reproductive health: Does environmental toxicity contribute to male infertility?

Male fertility decline

Infertility is defined as a couple’s inability to get pregnant for one year despite regular intercourse. When this is the case, doctors evaluate both partners to determine why.

For men, the cornerstone of the fertility evaluation is semen analysis, and there are a number of ways to assess sperm. Sperm count—the total number of sperm a man produces—and sperm concentration—number of sperm per milliliter of semen—are common measures, but they aren’t the best predictors of fertility. A more accurate measure looks at the total motile sperm count, which evaluates the fraction of sperm that are able to swim and move.

A wide range of factors—from obesity to hormonal imbalances to genetic diseases—can affect fertility. For many men, there are treatments that can help. But starting in the 1990s, researchers noticed a concerning trend. Even when controlling for many of the known risk factors, male fertility appeared to have been declining for decades.

In 1992, a study found a global 50 percent decline in sperm counts in men over the previous 60 years. Multiple studies over subsequent years confirmed that initial finding, including a 2017 paper showing a 50 to 60 percent decline in sperm concentration between 1973 and 2011 in men from around the world.

These studies, though important, focused on sperm concentration or total sperm count. So in 2019, a team of researchers decided to focus on the more powerful total motile sperm count. They found that the proportion of men with a normal total motile sperm count had declined by approximately 10 percent over the previous 16 years.

The science is consistent: Men today produce fewer sperm than in the past, and the sperm are less healthy. The question, then, is what could be causing this decline in fertility.

Environmental toxicity and reproduction

Scientists have known for years that, at least in animal models, environmental toxic exposure can alter hormonal balance and throw off reproduction. Researchers can’t intentionally expose human patients to harmful compounds and measure outcomes, but we can try to assess associations.

As the downward trend in male fertility emerged, I and other researchers began looking more toward chemicals in the environment for answers. This approach doesn’t allow us to definitively establish which chemicals are causing the male fertility decline, but the weight of the evidence is growing.

A lot of this research focuses on endocrine disrupters, molecules that mimic the body’s hormones and throw off the fragile hormonal balance of reproduction. These include substances like phthalates—better known as plasticizers—as well as pesticides, herbicides, heavy metals, toxic gases and other synthetic materials.

Plasticizers are found in most plastics—like water bottles and food containers—and exposure is associated with negative impacts on testosterone and semen health. Herbicides and pesticides abound in the food supply and some—specifically those with synthetic organic compounds that include phosphorus—are known to negatively affect fertility.

Air pollution surrounds cities, subjecting residents to particulate matter, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and other compounds that likely contribute to abnormal sperm quality. Radiation exposure from laptops, cellphones and modems has also been associated with declining sperm counts, impaired sperm motility and abnormal sperm shape. Heavy metals such as cadmium, lead and arsenic are also present in food, water and cosmetics and are also known to harm sperm health.

Endocrine-disrupting compounds and the infertility problems they cause are taking a significant toll on human physical and emotional health. And treating these harms is costly.

The effects of unregulated chemicals

A lot of chemicals are in use today, and tracking them all is incredibly difficult. More than 80,000 chemicals are registered in the US and nearly 2,000 new chemicals are introduced each year. Many scientists believe that the safety testing for health and environmental risks is not strong enough and that the rapid development and introduction of new chemicals challenges the ability of organizations to test long-term risks to human health.

Current US regulations follow the principle of innocent until proved guilty and are less comprehensive and restrictive than similar regulations in Europe, for example. The World Health Organization recently identified 800 compounds capable of disrupting hormones, only a small fraction of which have been tested.

A trade group, the American Chemistry Council, says on its website that manufacturers “have the regulatory certainty they need to innovate, grow, create jobs and win in the global marketplace – at the same time that public health and the environment benefit from strong risk-based protections.”

But the reality of the current regulatory system in the U.S. is that chemicals are introduced with minimal testing and taken off the market only when harm is proved. And that can take decades.

Dr. Niels Skakkebaek, the lead researcher on one of the first manuscripts on decreasing sperm counts, called the male fertility decline a “wake-up call to all of us.” My patients have provided a wake–up call for me that increased public awareness and advocacy are important to protect global reproductive health now and in the future. I’m not a toxicologist and can’t identify the cause of the infertility trends I’m seeing, but as physician, I am concerned that too much of the burden of proof is falling on the human body and people who become my patients.

The Three Graces

Roman copy of a Greek work of the 2nd century B.C.

These young girls, linked in a dance-like pose, represent The Three Graces: Aglaia (Beauty), Euphrosyne (Mirth), and Thalia (Abundance). They bestow what is most pleasurable and beneficent in nature and society: fertility and growth, beauty in the arts, harmonious reciprocity between men. They enjoyed venerable cults in Greece and Asia Minor. In mythology, they play an attendant role, gracing festivals and organizing dances. Their closest connection is with Aphrodite, whom they serve as handmaidens.
This carefully calculated, frieze-like composition is typical of classicizing art of the second and first centuries B.C. Instantly recognizable, it soon became the canonic formula for representing the Graces, who appeared in every medium and on every kind of object, from mirrors to sarcophagi.
