Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra

Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra meaning & nature

Uttara Bhadrapada is ruled by Saturn and presided over by Ahir Budhnya, the serpent of the cosmic depths. Where Purva Bhadrapada is fire, Uttara Bhadrapada is the still, deep water beneath — calm, wise, patient and profound. Its natives are compassionate, controlled and spiritually deep, carrying great inner strength and a serene, contented wisdom.

Saturn’s discipline in mystical Pisces (ruled by Jupiter) gives Uttara Bhadrapada depth, endurance and compassionate self-control. At its best it is wise, serene and benevolent; at its shadow it can be withdrawn, lazy or emotionally suppressed. Uttara Bhadrapada holds the deep, quiet strength of still water — one of the most benevolent and contented of all Nakshatras.

Symbol: The back of a funeral cot / a serpent in the deep. Deity: Ahir Budhnya (serpent of the deep). Gana: Manushya (human). Nature: Dhruva / Sthira — fixed.
