Nakshatra 26 of 27
Uttara Bhadrapada
Uttara Bhadrapada is depth held calmly. It is patient, wise and restrained, someone others lean on, who rarely shows its own storms.
A nakshatra is one of the 27 lunar mansions of Vedic astrology. Yours is the one the Moon stood in when you were born, measured in the sidereal zodiac. Uttara Bhadrapada spans 3°20′ Pisces to 16°40′ Pisces.
Its ruler, Saturn, also opens the first of your life chapters (the Vimshottari dasha) if your Moon sits here.
Each nakshatra splits into four padas of 3°20′, 108 in all. Each pada falls in a navamsa sign, so the same mansion can lean four slightly different ways.
