Uttara bhadrapada is the 26th Nakshatra occupying 3 degrees 20 minutes Pisces to 16 degrees 40 minutes Pisces.
He is one of the 11 rudras. He was born of the waters. He’s known to be the serpent of the atmosphere, the cloud serpent, or the dragon of the deep ocean. Such depictions indicate how domineering, savage, and cruel this nakshatra could be due its rulership by a serpent. But Lord Ahirbudhnya's fierceness is within reason. He also represents the dark, thunderous rain clouds that produce torrential downpours and floods. But no matter how thunderous the clouds are, their waters alway nourish, which is symbolic of his sensitive nature. So, the Uttara Bhadrapada native would be ambitious and driven but not self-serving, and would overcome adversaries but would never put them down. The native would be wise, reasonable, compassionate, and empathetic, would tolerate the ebbs and flows of life and would shoulder the responsibilities that ensue maturely. The native would be an archetype wise-old person. It's worth mentioning that Saturn, the planet known to bestow such personality traits, is the ruler of this nakshatra. This is the third and final nakshatra ruled by Saturn. The best of Saturn is experienced here. The native would not act in haste, would excel in long-term projects and would not shy from one's responsibility/one's duty. The slow-moving nature of Saturn makes the native fit for jobs that require limited physical mobility such as that of a bank manager or a security guard. But Saturn's rulership and Lord Ahirbudhnya's depiction as a cloud serpent indicate that the native would hold on to one's possessions and cling on to relationships longer than one should. The native may get too comfortable too quickly, may lack the motivation to change, and fall prey to lethargy, and such self-destructive behavior is why this nakshatra possesses the quality (guna) of Tamasic (darkness). The Uttara Bhadrapada native would go through spells of darkness/dramatic circumstances, which symbolize karmic purification of some kind. The native would find oneself much wiser on the other side of such experiences. The back legs of a funeral cot is the main symbol of Uttara Bhadrapada, which depicts the elevation of one's soul on a spiritual plane and the beginning of a new life form. This nakshatra lies within the sign of Pisces and so the native would naturally be driven towards spirituality, would be driven by heart, intuitive, creative, and imaginative. A planet that relishes quickness, Mercury is debilitated here. Careers, which are high on a philosophical plane are suited for the native. And so, counselors, photographers, writers, composers, dancers, researchers, healers, religious leaders, astrologers, spiritual guides, yoga teachers are seen from this nakshatra. All seafaring professions too are linked to this nakshatra. This nakshatra combines the energies of Saturn and Jupiter resulting in the native being philosophical, reliable, and, responsible.
