Uttara Bhādrapadā - The Virtuous One

Uttara means 'latter' and bhādrapadā means 'auspicious steps'. It shows a step further towards the path to enlightenment. It is ruled by a serpent of the deep, representing hidden realms and the mysterious depths. It is virtuous and emphatic, with the ability to take on everyone's feelings, which, at times, brings a need for seclusion and renunciation. ​

When the Moon transits Uttara Bhādrapadā, it's a good day for worship, planting, construction, and marriage.
