Uttara Bhadrapada

Uttara Bhadrapada is the 26th of the twenty-seven nakshatras (lunar mansions), spanning 3°20′–16°40′ Pisces of the sidereal zodiac.

Its ruling graha is Shani (Saturn), its presiding deity Ahir Budhnya (the serpent of the deep), and its symbol the back of a funeral cot or twin serpent.

Uttara Bhadrapada is the deep, still water — calm wisdom, patience, and a settled inner strength. Under Saturn and the serpent of the depths, it gives endurance, compassion, and the quiet that comes after intensity has matured. A mansion of depth and peace.
