26°40′ Sagittarius – 10°00′ Capricorn · ruled by Sun · deity the Vishvadevas, the universal gods
Uttara Ashadha, whose deity is the Vishvadevas, the universal gods, is the star of the later, lasting victory — the elephant's tusk. What it wins, it keeps.
The gift: integrity under pressure and success that endures.
The lesson: slowness to begin, and duty crowding out delight. Named kindly: this is the gift pointed the wrong way, and naming it is most of the work.

| Nadi (constitution) | Kapha — the constitutional current used in classical matching |

| Rajju | Nabhi — the navel, an older matching rule read alongside the eight dimensions |
| Quarter | Navamsa shade | Name syllables |
|---|---|---|
| Pada 1 | A Sagittarius shade — the most expansive quarter: the star's nature reaches for meaning, teachers and the long view | Bhe |
| Pada 2 | A Capricorn shade — the most structured quarter: the star's gifts are built into something that lasts | Bho |
| Pada 3 | An Aquarius shade — the most independent quarter: the star's nature serves the many, on its own terms | Ja |
| Pada 4 | A Pisces shade — the most dissolving quarter: the star's gifts soften boundaries and lean toward the universal | Ji |
The pada is the quarter of the star the Moon occupied at your birth. It sets the navamsa sign and the first syllable tradition gives a name. The calculator below tells you yours.
Classical matching reads two birth stars across eight dimensions. Four of them — ease (Tara), instinct (Yoni), temperament (Gana) and constitution (Nadi), 21 of the 36 points — depend on the stars alone, so they can be read for Uttara Ashadha exactly. These stars pair most naturally with it:
Stars that share Uttara Ashadha's Kapha nadi — Krittika, Rohini, Ashlesha, Magha, Swati, Vishakha, Shravana, Revati — raise the constitutional flag the tradition watches, which comes with listed cancellations and is a conversation, never a verdict. The other fifteen points read from the two Moon signs, which the padas decide; a full check needs both charts.
