Tattva here is the nakshatra's own element in the five-block scheme AstroSage also prints (Ashwini to Mrigashira earth, Ardra to Purva Phalguni water, Uttara Phalguni to Anuradha fire, Jyeshtha to Shravana air, Dhanishta to Revati ether) — not the element of the Moon sign.
Four padas
Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra padas, navamsa and name letters
The naming letters for Uttara Bhadrapada are Du, Tha, Jha, Da / Tra, one per pada. In the Namakaran tradition a child is named beginning with the sound of the pada the Moon occupied at birth, so the pada — not just the nakshatra — decides the letter.
| Pada | Degrees | Rashi | Navamsa (D9) | Name syllable | Varna (matching) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Pisces 3°20′ – Pisces 6°40′ | Meen (Pisces) | Sinh (Leo) | Du | Brahmin |
| 2 | Pisces 6°40′ – Pisces 10°00′ | Meen (Pisces) | Kanya (Virgo) | Tha | Brahmin |
| 3 | Pisces 10°00′ – Pisces 13°20′ | Meen (Pisces) | Tula (Libra) | Jha | Brahmin |
| 4 | Pisces 13°20′ – Pisces 16°40′ | Meen (Pisces) | Vrishchik (Scorpio) | Da / Tra | Brahmin |
Where a pada shows two readings ("Va / Ba"), both are in regional use; this page does not pick one for you.
Varna is given per pada because Ashtakoota matching scores the varna of the Moon sign (water signs Brahmin, fire Kshatriya, earth Vaishya, air Shudra). Some tables also assign a varna to the nakshatra itself; those lists disagree from source to source and matching does not use them.
Characteristics
Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra characteristics
Uttara Bhadrapada belongs to Ahir Budhnya, the serpent of the deep waters, and the tradition reads it as the calm that follows Purva Bhadrapada's fire. Natives are described as wise, patient, self-controlled and kind, at their best in counselling, research, charity and long, quiet effort. Saturn as lord gives stamina and restraint. The caution is withdrawal and inertia — waiting so long for the right moment that it passes.

A nakshatra describes the Moon's position, which millions of people share. It is read as a tendency to reflect on, alongside the whole chart — not as a verdict on a person.
Compatibility
Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra compatibility for marriage
Nadi. Uttara Bhadrapada is Madhya (Pitta) nadi. When both birth stars share a nadi, Guna Milan's Nadi koota scores 0 of 8 (nadi dosha), so a match with any of these stars starts with that gap: Bharani, Mrigashira, Pushya, Purva Phalguni, Chitra, Anuradha, Purva Ashadha, Dhanishta. Several traditions list exceptions that cancel the dosha; read the full 36-point report rather than one koota.
Yoni. Uttara Bhadrapada is Cow yoni. The same yoni — Uttara Phalguni — scores the full 4 of 4. Its sworn-enemy yoni is Tiger, so Chitra, Vishakha score 0 of 4 in either direction.
Gana. Uttara Bhadrapada is Manushya gana. The Gana koota is directional — the score depends on which partner is the groom — and these are the engine's own values:
| Partner's gana | Uttara Bhadrapada native is the groom | Uttara Bhadrapada native is the bride |
|---|---|---|
| Deva | 5 / 6 | 6 / 6 |
| Manushya | 6 / 6 | 6 / 6 |
| Rakshasa | 0 / 6 | 0 / 6 |
Nadi, yoni and gana are 18 of the 36 points; the rest come from the Moon signs and the count between the two stars. Full kundli matching · Matching by name · Nakshatra porutham

Times are for Jodhpur. The Moon enters and leaves a nakshatra at the same instant everywhere, so another city changes only the clock these are written in. The Moon takes about 27.3 days to come back to the same star and stays roughly a day each time.
