Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra
Uttara Bhadrapada is the middle of Pisces, ruled by Saturn under Ahir Budhnya, the serpent coiled at the bottom of the ocean. Where Purva Bhadrapada burns, Uttara Bhadrapada holds still: depth, patience, wisdom and the ability to carry others. An Uttara Bhadrapada Moon is calm, kind, disciplined and quietly profound, often drawn to spiritual practice or long study. Natives are steady partners and reliable in crisis. It begins life in a nineteen-year Saturn dasha.

FAQ
Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra — common questions
What is Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra?
Uttara Bhadrapada (उत्तरा भाद्रपद) is the 26th of the 27 nakshatras, spanning 333°20′–346°40′ of the sidereal zodiac (3°20′ to 16°40′ Pisces). Its Vimshottari lord is Saturn, its deity Ahir Budhnya, the serpent of the deep, its symbol the back legs of a funeral cot, or twins. It belongs to the Manushya gana and the Madhya nadi, with the cow yoni.
Which rashi is Uttara Bhadrapada in?
Entirely in Pisces: all four padas of Uttara Bhadrapada fall in that sign, so anyone born with the Moon in Uttara Bhadrapada has Pisces as their Moon sign.
What is the first dasha for someone born in Uttara Bhadrapada?
Saturn mahadasha, which lasts 19 years in full. How much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Uttara Bhadrapada the Moon had travelled — the balance of dasha — so two people born under Uttara Bhadrapada can have very different first chapters. The dasha calculator computes yours to the day.
