Uttara Ashadha

Uttara Ashadha is the 21st of the twenty-seven nakshatras (lunar mansions), spanning 26°40′ Sagittarius–10°00′ Capricorn of the sidereal zodiac.

Its ruling graha is Surya (the Sun), its presiding deity the Vishvadevas (the universal gods), and its symbol the an elephant’s tusk or planks of a bed.

Uttara Ashadha is "the later invincible" — the victory that lasts because it is earned. Under the Sun and the universal gods, it gives integrity, endurance, and leadership that wins by being right rather than loud. A mansion of lasting, principled achievement.
