considered a good time for new beginnings, such as marriage; with the moon in this
position, people tend towards level-headedness and happiness along with vanity and
infidelity. The Sun rules Uttara Phalguni.
—Pramela ThiagesanUTTARASHADA
Uttarashada (the latter unsubdued) is one of the Nakshatras (lunar mansions) of Vedic
astrology. This Nakshatra, like Purvashada, is represented by a bed or an elephant’s
tusk, but is ruled by the Sun at Sagittarius 26°40’ to Capricorn 10°, and Viswadevas, a
combination of all the gods, presides. People may find themselves more fun loving and
modest during this time, but also may take on too many others’ problems and become
very stressed. This is a good time to invest in something for the future.
