What Mercury in Uttara Ashadha nakshatra means
The Vishvadevas, the all-gods, are the deities of Uttara Ashadha, and the Sun is the lord. The symbols are an elephant's tusk and the planks of a bed. One pada lies in Sagittarius and three in Capricorn, so Mercury passes from Jupiter's sign into Saturn's, both neutral to it. The Sun as lord is Mercury's friend, and the friendship carries the stay.
The stay is about eight days, and a retrograde can stretch it to a month. Uttara Ashadha is the victory that lasts, the later victory, won by the many together. Mercury's work here is the long document, the policy, the plan that others will follow after the writer is gone.
Muhurta Chintamani counts the nakshatra dhruva, fixed, and the days suit foundations, coronations, the signing of a lasting agreement and the planting of trees. In the Capricorn padas Mercury's speech turns official, and the person writes for an office more than for themselves. Government, administration and law are the trade of the week.
- Sagittarius pada: Scorpio, Virgo, Cancer, Taurus, Pisces and Aquarius Moons hold Mercury in Phaladeepika's favourable houses.
- Capricorn padas: Sagittarius, Libra, Leo, Gemini, Aries and Pisces Moons gain.
- Capricorn, Scorpio, Virgo, Cancer, Taurus and Aquarius Moons have the harder houses for most of the stay. They should not sign what they have not read to the end.
The lagna gives the same count. The transit asks whether a person can work for a result they will not see. Mercury likes quick returns, and the Vishvadevas ask for the slow kind.
The remedy is a task done for a group with no name on it. Recite Om Budhaya Namah, worship Vishnu, and give green cloth or moong on Wednesday. Water to the rising Sun honours the lord of the nakshatra, and Aditya Hridaya read once in the week does the same.
