https://arvind-bhagwath.medium.com/myth ... ac027e24c9
Uttara Ashadha

Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra is the 21st Nakshatra as per Hindu astrology in Sagittarius constellation.

Uttarashadha is ruled by the Universal Gods (Vishvedevas).

The Visvedevas are the various Vedic gods taken together as a whole. In the Rigveda a number of hymns are addressed to them, including (according to Griffith) 1.89, 3.54–56, 4.55, 5.41–51, 6.49–52, 7.34–37, 39, 40, 42, 43, 8.27–30, 58, 83 10.31, 35, 36, 56, 57, 61–66, 92, 93, 100, 101, 109, 114, 126, 128, 137, 141, 157, 165, 181.

RV 3.54.17 addresses them as headed by Indra: This is, ye Wise, your great and glorious title, that all ye Deities abide in Indra. (trans. Griffith)
Though many devas are named in the Rig Veda only 33 devas are counted, eleven each of earth, space and heaven. In later Hindu scriptures, they form one of the nine ganadevatas (along with the Adityas, Vasus, Tushitas, Abhasvaras, Anilas, Maharajikas, Sadhyas, and Rudras). According to the Vishnu Purana, they were the sons of Vishvā, a daughter of Daksha, enumerated as follows: 1. Vasu 2. Satya 3. Kratu 4. Daksha, 5. Kala 6. Kama 7. Dhrti 8. Kuru 9. Pururavas 10. Madravas, with two others added by some, 11. Rocaka or Locana, 12. Dhvani Dhuri

Sometimes it is unclear whether a reference to Vishve-devas refers to all Devas collectively, as in the Rigveda, or to the specific group as enumerated in the Puranas.

According to Manu (iii, 90, 121), offerings should be made daily to the Visvedevas. These privileges were bestowed on them by Brahma and the Pitri as a reward for severe austerities they had performed on the Himalaya.

The Viswadevas incarnated on Earth due to the curse of sage Vishwamitra, as the 5 sons of Draupadi with the Pandavas — the Upapandavas. They returned to their original form after being killed by Ashwatthama at night.

They fight for what they believe is right and practice what they preach. They are highly righteous and responsible, sincere and truthful, with the highest degree of integrity. Commitment to their ideals makes them very humanitarian. They can be driven like a workaholic, extremely persistent when excited, but if they lose interest they become lazy, introspective, and do not finish what they started.

However, they have deep powers to penetrate or quest for spiritual information, and become most successful and victorious in the latter part of life.

UTTARA-ASHADHA NAKSHATRA: A COMPLETE GUIDE
Luke Vanderlinden
Jun. 8, 2020

Overview
Every nakshatra has its own set of fixed attributes. This includes planetary ruler, nakshatra group, zodiac sign, deity, symbol, and power. The features of Uttara-ashadha are below:

Sanskrit Name: उत्तराषाढ़ा (Uttara-ashadha) comes from the Sanskrit words उत्तर (latter) and अषाढ (invincible). One meaning of Uttara-ashadha is “the latter invincible one,” indicating resilience, power, and good fortune.

Planetary Ruler: The Sun. In astrology the sun is considered the king of the planets. According to the Vedic understanding, the sun is an expansion of God. This planet is associated with the soul or self, leadership, happiness, success, self-realization, and spiritual enlightenment.

Nakshatra Group: Human. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Uttara-ashadha is a human nakshatra. People in this group are generally hardworking and motivated to achieve material success. Although they are generally kind, they can also be vindictive and self-serving.

Zodiac Sign: Sagittarius (first quarter) and Capricorn (second through fourth quarters). Sagittarians are fortunate and righteous. They are wise, warm-hearted, and spiritually-inclined. Capricorns are peculiar and powerful. They are intelligent, thoughtful, and careful in making decisions.

Deity: Vishvadevas. In Vedic theology, the Vishvadevas are a group of ten gods who represent the entire assembly of celestial beings.

Symbol: The tusk of an elephant. This represents awesome power, fearsomeness, and intimidation.

Power: To be undefeated. Persons born under the star of Uttara-ashadha are formidable foes. They have an indomitable spirit and make excellent leaders, fighters, and visionaries.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Uttara-ashadha are Bhey (भे), Bho (भो), Jaw (जा), and Jee (जी). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
Persons born under the star of Uttara-ashadha are devout and moral beings. They have an innate sense of right and wrong, and they strive to uphold the principles of dharma, or righteous conduct. With their sharp intellect and capacity for discrimination, they are able to understand subtle nuances that other people miss. They cannot be found blindly taking one side of any issue. Rather, they carefully consider all available information and weigh the various arguments before coming to any conclusion. In this way, they are quite balanced in their approach to life.

Uttara-ashadha natives are bright, popular, and multi-talented. They generally excel in whatever they put their mind to. They appreciate the good qualities in others, and for this reason they can easily gain the admiration of their peers.

You are a down-to-earth and practical person. You don’t like to dwell in the realm of ideas alone — your plans are always accompanied by quick and impressive action. You are a noble and graceful soul with a natural inclination toward God consciousness.

Uttara-ashadha Careers
Persons born in Uttara-ashadha can do well in careers that involve some kind of leadership role, or in athletic performance.

Some ideal professions include:

Athlete, dancer, or sports coach
Politician, lawyer, or judge
Researcher or scientist
Philosopher, priest, or religious leader
Weaknesses
Uttara-ashadha natives can be somewhat dictatorial. They expect others to conform to their vision and follow their lead and commands. Although they are broad-minded, they can also be inflexible and even obstinate once settled on a certain conclusion. Their strong presence can be intimidating for others, and this might make it difficult to form deeply meaningful relationships.

Those born under Uttara-ashada excel in taking action and moving projects forward, but they may overestimate their capacity and lose interest before a project sees completion. This may leave them with many half-finished tasks, and as a result they may become apathetic or mildly depressed.

You have a tendency to take on the problems of those around you. Your desire to help and inspire others can lead you to carry a burden greater than what you can realistically handle in the long-term. This may make you anxious, restless, and dissatisfied. Make sure you carefully consider whatever commitments you make, and follow through on each one before taking on any additional responsibilities. This will help you protect yourself from getting overworked and burned out. Set aside sufficient time for self-care, meditation, introspection, and prayer. In this way you can have a fulfilled and happy existence.
