Uttara ashadha
Also called: uttara ashadha nakshatra
Uttara Ashadha, the 21st of the 27 nakshatras (lunar mansions), running from 26°40' Dhanu (Sagittarius) to 10°00' Makara (Capricorn) in the sidereal zodiac. Its symbol is the elephant tusk. Its presiding deities are the Vishwadevas, the universal gods, bringing lasting victory and principle. Its ruling planet is the Sun, so someone born with the Moon here begins life in the Sun's dasha (planetary period). Its themes are lasting victory, integrity, endurance. Classically it is a fixed (sthira) nakshatra, good for foundations, planting and anything meant to last.
