Uthiraadam Nakshatra Palangal: Traits, Padas, Career and Remedies

What is Uthiraadam nakshatra?

Uthiraadam (உத்திராடம்) is the Tamil name of Uttara Ashadha, the 21st of the 27 nakshatras. It spans 26°40′ Dhanu to 10°00′ Makara and is ruled by the Sun (Surya). Palangal means results: the traits and tendencies traditionally read for people whose Moon was in this nakshatra at birth.

What are the traits of Uthiraadam natives?

Tradition describes Uthiraadam natives as principled, responsible, patient and steadily successful. The lord, the Sun (Surya), and the presiding deity, the Vishvedevas, the universal gods, colour the star.

• Strengths: principled, responsible, patient and steadily successful.
• Watch-points: rigidity and taking on too much.

These are tendencies of the Moon’s star, not the whole person. The Lagna, the Moon’s strength and the running dasha decide how much of this shows in a given chart.

How do the four padas differ?

Each pada is 3°20′ and falls in a different navamsa, which colours the star:

• Pada 1 (Dhanu navamsa, syllable Bhe): idealistic and expansive.
• Pada 2 (Makara navamsa, syllable Bho): disciplined and ambitious.
• Pada 3 (Kumbha navamsa, syllable Ja): independent and humanitarian.
• Pada 4 (Meena navamsa, syllable Ji): compassionate and spiritual.

What does Uthiraadam show for career and marriage?

For career, Uthiraadam suits administration, government, management, law and long-term ventures. The 10th house and its lord in the full chart decide the field; the nakshatra shows the style.

For marriage, the star gives Manushya gana and Antya nadi, two of the factors used in kundli matching, so compatibility is read from both charts together; see marriage and kundli matching.

Which dasha does a Uthiraadam native start life in?

The Vimshottari dasha begins with the lord of the birth nakshatra, so a Uthiraadam Moon starts life in the Sun (Surya) mahadasha (6 years in full; the balance at birth depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the star). The Moon (Chandra) (10 years) follows, then Mars (Mangal) (7 years).

What remedies suit Uthiraadam?

Because the Sun (Surya) rules the star, the traditional observances are simple and belong to that planet:

• The mantra “Om Suryaya Namah” on Sundays.
• Offering water to the rising Sun.
• Charity on Sundays — wheat or jaggery.

Gemstones are not a default remedy for a nakshatra; a stone is considered only after the whole chart is read.

When is the Moon next in Uthiraadam?

The Moon passes through Uthiraadam about once every 27 days. In the coming months it is in the star on 18–19 October, 14–15 November and 12–13 December 2026 (IST). These are the days when the star’s natives traditionally keep their monthly janma nakshatra observance.
