Uttara Ashadha (Uttara Ashadha) - Four padas

## The four padas of Uttara Ashadha

Uttara Ashadha spans 26°40' Sagittarius - 10°00' Capricorn, split into four equal 3°20′ quarters. Each pada carries a different Navamsa (D9) sign overlay -- pick yours below.

Uttara Ashadha, the later victory, runs from 26°40′ Sagittarius to 10°00′ Capricorn under the Sun, with the Vishvedevas, the universal gods, presiding. It opens with back-to-back vargottama quarters on either side of the sign boundary, a structure almost nothing else in the wheel repeats. The table below sets out all four padas precisely.

Rashi placement

## Where Uttara Ashadha sits in the zodiac

One pada in Jupiter's fire, three in Saturn's earth: Uttara Ashadha's geometry is a victory parade that crosses from proclamation into administration. The Sagittarius quarter declares the win with the confidence of principle; the Capricorn quarters make it permanent through structure, patience and law. A native's Moon sign turns on that boundary, and the difference is felt: the first quarter inspires, the later three institutionalize. Both dispositions serve the star's theme, victory that lasts because it deserved to. The crossing itself is unusually well marked, with the navamsa cycle granting vargottama status on both sides of the line, as if the boundary were reinforced rather than merely crossed.

Navamsa progression

## How the four quarters of Uttara Ashadha unfold

Pada 1 is vargottama, Sagittarius in Sagittarius, with Jupiter friendly to the Sun: the standard-bearer's quarter, principle at full voice, and classically the star's most radiant seat. Pada 2 crosses into Capricorn and is vargottama again, Capricorn in Capricorn, but the Sun now answers to Saturn, its old opponent: authority submits to duty here, and the quarter's achievements are earned twice over. Pada 3, in the Aquarius navamsa, extends Saturn's rule from duty to community: the win administered for everyone, impersonal and fair. Pada 4, in Pisces with Jupiter friendly once more, closes on principle recovered: law softened by wisdom, the victor grown generous. The star's journey is a lesson in what winning costs and what it is for: declared, then disciplined, then distributed, then dedicated.

Deity, gana & lord

## The forces behind Uttara Ashadha's padas

The Vishvedevas, the all-gods invoked together, preside over Uttara Ashadha, and their plurality is the point: this star's victories must satisfy every seat at the table, not one throne. The Sun rules, giving the will; Manushya-gana keeps the work in the human world of institutions and law. The all-gods audit each quarter differently: vision in the vargottama Sagittarius pada, endurance in the vargottama Capricorn pada, equity in the Aquarius pada, mercy in the Pisces pada. Only claims that pass all four reviews get to call themselves the later, lasting victory the name promises.

How to find your pada

Your pada is read from the Moon's exact sidereal degree at birth. Uttara Ashadha occupies 26°40' Sagittarius - 10°00' Capricorn, and a new quarter begins every 3°20′ within that band, so a Moon near one of the boundaries in the table above can shift padas with only a small birth-time correction. Enter your date, time and place of birth in the free birth chart calculator to get the Moon's precise degree, then match it against the spans above.

## Frequently asked questions

Which pada of Uttara Ashadha is my Moon in?

Uttara Ashadha occupies 26°40' Sagittarius - 10°00' Capricorn, divided into four equal 3°20′ quarters: pada 1 covers 26°40′-30°00′ Sagittarius; pada 2 covers 0°00′-3°20′ Capricorn; pada 3 covers 3°20′-6°40′ Capricorn; pada 4 covers 6°40′-10°00′ Capricorn. Your own pada follows the Moon's exact sidereal degree at your birth, which needs a calculated chart -- a birth date alone cannot resolve a band this narrow, but a free birth-chart calculation from date, time and place settles it immediately.

Do all four padas of Uttara Ashadha fall in the same rashi?

No -- Uttara Ashadha straddles a sign boundary, which is its most practical structural fact. Pada 1 falls in Sagittarius, while padas 2, 3, and 4 sit in Capricorn. Two people born under Uttara Ashadha can therefore have different Moon signs, so settle the rashi first and the pada second when reading a chart.

Which pada of Uttara Ashadha is considered strongest?

Classical astrology marks structural strength rather than luck. In Uttara Ashadha the notable quarters are: pada 1, where the quarter is vargottama (rashi and navamsa agree); pada 2, where the quarter is vargottama (rashi and navamsa agree). In every case the wider chart decides far more than the pada does.

Does the pada of Uttara Ashadha matter for naming a baby?

In the traditional Namakaran system, yes. Each quarter of Uttara Ashadha carries its own starting syllable -- भे (Bhe) for pada 1, भो (Bho) for pada 2, जा (Ja) for pada 3, जी (Ji) for pada 4 -- chosen from the Moon's pada at birth. Most families treat the syllable as a meaningful custom rather than a binding rule; for chart interpretation it is the pada's navamsa sign, not its sound, that carries the analytical weight.
