Uttara Bhadrapada

Uttara Bhadrapada

(religion, spiritualism, and occult)

Uttara Bhadrapada (latter beautiful foot) is one of the Nakshatras (lunar mansions) of Vedic Astrology. Similar to Purva Bhadrapada, this moon sign is depicted as the back legs of a small bed or couch, and is ruled by the planet Saturn from Pisces 3°20’ to 16°40’. People are better problem-solvers and public speakers at this time, though also a bit shy or reluctant, and favorable activities started during this time will have better support. The deity Ahir Budhnya presides over Uttara Bhadrapada.
