About Uttara Ashadha

Uttara Ashadha spans from 26°40′ Sagittarius to 10°00′ Capricorn and is ruled by the Sun. Its deities are the Vishvedevas, the universal gods who stand for goodness, truth and right conduct, and its symbol is an elephant's tusk. The name means “the later invincible one”.

Where Purva Ashadha wins through conviction, Uttara Ashadha wins through integrity and endurance, and its victories last. It is classed as fixed (dhruva), favouring foundations, marriage and long commitments. Its first pada lies in Sagittarius and the other three in Capricorn.

Padas and navamsa
