About Uttara Bhadrapada

Uttara Bhadrapada lies from 3°20′ to 16°40′ Pisces and is ruled by Saturn. Its deity is Ahir Budhnya, the serpent of the deep waters, and its symbols are the back legs of a funeral cot, or twins. The name means “the latter blessed feet”.

Where Purva Bhadrapada is fire, Uttara Bhadrapada is the deep, still water beneath it. It brings calm, restraint and wisdom that grows over time, and the power to bring rain to dry land. It is classed as fixed (dhruva), favouring foundations, marriage and lasting commitments.

Padas and navamsa

Four quarters of 3°20′

Each pada falls in a navamsa sign, used to read the D9 chart and to colour the nakshatra for anyone whose Moon or ascendant sits there.
