Uttara bhadrapada

Also called: uttara bhadrapada nakshatra

Uttara Bhadrapada, the 26th of the 27 nakshatras (lunar mansions), running from 3°20' Meena (Pisces) to 16°40' Meena (Pisces) in the sidereal zodiac. Its symbol is the serpent of the deep. Its presiding deity is Ahir Budhnya, the serpent of the deep, bringing still, wise, and steadying. Its ruling planet is Saturn, so someone born with the Moon here begins life in Saturn's dasha (planetary period). Its themes are wisdom, depth, calm. Classically it is a fixed (sthira) nakshatra, good for foundations, planting and anything meant to last.
