Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra Meaning
Uttara Ashadha means “Second invincible -- victory, universal principles”. It is the 21th of 27 nakshatras in the Vedic lunar mansion system, spanning 266.67° to 280.00° of the sidereal zodiac.
The ruling planet (Dasha lord) is Sun (Surya), which governs a 6-year Mahadasha in the Vimshottari system. People born with their Moon in Uttara Ashadha begin their life Dasha sequence from this planetary period. The themes of Surya shape the core karmic qualities of this nakshatra.
Vimshottari Dasha Connection
If your Moon is in Uttara Ashadha, your Dasha sequence begins with the Sun (Surya) Mahadasha (6 years). The exact starting point within that Dasha is calculated from how far your Moon has progressed through Uttara Ashadha at birth. Arcanavana computes your complete Dasha timeline from your birth details.
Your Moon nakshatra is the foundation of Vedic timing. It determines not just your initial Dasha but also your emotional nature, karmic instincts, and the subtle flavour of your inner life that your Sun sign alone cannot reveal. See the full nakshatra guide or get your complete Vedic Kundli.
