Uttara Bhādrapadā or Uttṛṭṭāti (Devanagari: उत्तरभाद्रपदा)(Tamil: உத்திரட்டாதி) is the twenty-sixth[dubious ] nakshatra in Hindu astrology, corresponding to γ Pegasi and α Andromedae. It is ruled by Shani, the deity identified with the planet Saturn.
Under the beliefs of electional astrology, Uttara Bhādrapadā is a Fixed constellation, meaning that while it is prominent, it is a good time to build houses, found communities or engage in other activities related to permance, stabiltiy and structure.[1]
Uttara Bhādrapadā is represented by dualistic imagery, often two legs of a bed. Other common symbols include a two-headed man, or twins.[2] The Ahir Budhnya, a serpentine or draconian creature, is the deity which oversees Uttara Bhādrapadā.[3]
Traditional Hindu given names are determined by which pada (quarter) of a nakshatra the moon was in at the time of birth. In the case of Ashvini, the given name would begin with the following syllables:
- Du (Devanagari: दु)
- Jha (Devanagari: ज)
- Tha (Devanagari: थ)
- Da/Tra (Devanagari: ञ)[4]
