Uttara Ashadhaउत्तराषाढ़ा

Uttara Ashadha is the twenty-first Nakshatra (26°40' Dhanu–10° Makara), symbolized by an elephant's tusk or a small bed and ruled by the Vishvadevas, a group of universal deities. Its Yoni (compatibility animal) is Mongoose, its Gana is Manushya, and its Nadi is Antya (Kapha).

In practice

Uttara Ashadha is on this app's "good" Muhurat Search list only for property purchase — it is not on the favorable or unfavorable list for vehicle purchase, Griha Pravesh, or new job.

How it's calculated

Uttara Ashadha's Visha Ghati begins at the 20th ghati (of 60) — roughly the first third of the Nakshatra's span.

⚠ Ruling deity and general temperament are drawn from classical Vedic astrology texts — sources broadly agree on Uttara Ashadha's association with lasting victory and universal principle (via the Vishvadevas), often described as the Nakshatra whose strength, unlike Purva Ashadha's early invincibility, endures permanently — though the exact contrast drawn between the two "Ashadha" halves varies by text.

Ruling deity and symbol

Uttara Ashadha is ruled by the Vishvadevas, a collective of universal deities representing shared principle and enduring truth. Its symbol is an elephant's tusk or a small bed, representing steady strength and lasting stability. Its ruling planet (Nakshatra lord, used in Vimshottari Dasha sequencing) is the Sun.

General temperament

Classical texts associate Uttara Ashadha with enduring success, principled conduct, and victories that last rather than fade — people with a strong Uttara Ashadha influence are traditionally described as steadfast, guided by strong values, and capable of building achievements that stand the test of time.

Naming syllables (Muhurta Chintamani)

Per the traditional naming-syllable table this app uses for the Baby Names feature, a child born under Uttara Ashadha's four Padas is traditionally named starting with "Bhe", "Bho", "Ja", or "Ji" respectively.
