What Uttara Bhadrapada means in Vedic astrology

Uttara Bhadrapada is the 26th of the 27 Nakshatra — the lunar mansions that divide the sidereal zodiac into finer bands than the twelve Rāsi. It spans Pisces 3°20′–16°40′, is ruled by Saturn, and is presided over by the deity Ahir Budhnya.

Its symbol is the back of a funeral cot, and it belongs to the Manushya gana. Your Nakshatra is determined by the exact degree of the Moon at your birth, which makes it far more specific than your moon sign alone — and it is what drives your Vimshottari Dasha, the timing system at the heart of Jyotish prediction.
