Uttarashada Nakshatra

Who is Uttarashadha?

A VIRTUOUS AND VICTORIOUS LEADER

You are a righteous leader who guides all humanity to victory. You are ambitious and powerful, while remaining very respectful, reasonable and kind. You are a royal being who has a true sense of morality, fairness and moderation. You are also fun-loving and nurturing, but at the same time, practical and steady. You are just like a well-rounded teacher, who can see when to be praising and when to be strict to bring out the best in your students. The ruling deities are the Vishvadevas, the Ten Universal Gods. They suggest the strong virtuous qualities that come from the core of your being. You are an introspective soul, who is strongly grounded in truth. You always utilize your discerning mind to be in line with the higher power, which makes you a promoter and protector of goodness in yourself, others and society. Uttarashada’s symbol is an elephant tusk, which signifies strong leadership and determination to achieve success. It is also related to Ganesha, who gives blessings to all beginnings. You are a pioneer who has the patience to nurture the seeds you have sown, and often exceed in the field or a cause that you commit yourself to. You can also sacrifice yourself for a bigger purpose, which makes you truly brave and heroic. You respect tradition and universal law, but you are also an independent thinker who is original and creative while manifesting your goals. Uttarashadha is ruled by the Sun and lies in Sagittarius and Capricorn, ruled by Jupiter and Saturn respectively. You can take on too much responsibility, become workaholic and ignore your own well-being. You can also be an extreme idealist, who cannot stand anything but what you think is right. You become harsh when you see something immoral or wrong, ignoring your own shortcomings. The most important advice to you is to be accepting and loving even when things are not perfect. Be a teacher to all and bring everyone to the higher truth!
