General Characteristics

Sun rules over Uttarashada Nakshatra. It is believed that Purvashadha and its pair Uttarashada nakshatra are called invincible stars. Another meaning of this Nakshatra is later victory. Poorvashadha and Uttarashada Nakshatra natives will have many things in common. Poorvashada is all about experiments but Uttarashadha is getting the results of the experiments. These people are interested in higher aspects of life. Uttarashadha natives will be good looking with an attractive personality. They will be authoritative, have leadership qualities, and very dominating. They will be more interested in professional life than family life. They will take the utmost responsibility in their endeavors and will be appreciated by everyone.

Sometimes the animal symbol associated with Uttarashada Nakshatra is Elephant and tree is a jackfruit tree, which signifies big, royal, great, massive, vast, etc. Their mind will think in terms of higher knowledge and they do not want to settle for smaller things. Most likely they would like to be in a position of authority, power, supremacy. Also, the position of Uttarashada nakshatra falls in the 9th and 10th houses of the natural zodiac, which again represents Dharma (morality) and Karma (actions). Hence this creates a workaholic nature in these natives. Normally here power and authority come with a gentle or humane touch. However, if Moon gets even slightly afflicted, then they get arrogant and dictatorial in nature. Then it creates a lot of conflicts in the workplace or even in domestic situations. Also, ego problems will surface with these natives.

The deity associated with Uttarashada Nakshatra is Vishwadeva, the universal god. The 10 Vishwa Devas disseminate different qualities to the Nakshatra. Because of these, the native becomes more balanced, impartial, bright, powerful, talented. They will be possessed with very charming and gentlemanly behavior. They will be very practical and realistic in nature. Sometimes with over-emphasis on goals and over-disciplined nature, they become too anxious and agitated. Also, they become too self-centered and over-ambitious. Hence they sometimes become problematic to the family and become destructive. They have to be very careful in dealing with partners in the partnership business. They get into conflicts very easily with counterparts.

Apart from the above characteristics, some of the specific characters for different quarters or padas under Uttarashada star are as follows.
