Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra: the later, lasting victory

Uttara Ashadha is the twenty-first nakshatra, bridging Sagittarius and Capricorn (26deg40 Sagittarius to 10deg00 Capricorn). Its symbol is an elephant tusk, and its deities are the Vishvadevas, the universal gods. The name means the later invincible one. Where Purva Ashadha wins the first battle, Uttara Ashadha wins the final, lasting victory — the success that endures because it is built on integrity.
