What Sun in Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra means
Ahirbudhnya, the serpent of the deep, presides over Uttara Bhadrapada in Pisces, the back legs of the funeral cot, ruled by Saturn. Saturn is the Sun's enemy, and Jupiter, lord of the sign, is a friend. Ahirbudhnya is counted among the Rudras in some lists, and the nakshatra is depth held in stillness. The Sun stays about two weeks.
The spring equinox falls in this stay, and the Sun crosses the equator northward. Uttara Bhadrapada is dhruva, and the Sun's significations settle: a long matter with government closes, a father reaches a decision, the heart rate steadies. Ugadi, the lunar new year, falls in some years during the stay. The last month of the solar year is a month of accounts.
Saturn's nakshatra asks patience of the Sun, and Jupiter's sign gives it faith to be patient with. The fortnight favours sadhana, retreat, charity and the quiet finishing of what was begun last year. Public honours are few. Private progress is real.
Capricorn, Libra, Gemini and Taurus Moons have the Sun in the third, sixth, tenth and eleventh and gain. Pisces Moons carry the Sun in the first, Aries in the twelfth, Leo in the eighth and Sagittarius in the fourth. Phaladeepika gives fatigue, expense, fear and unrest for those houses. Read the lagna the same way.
This fortnight looks beneath the person's position. Ahirbudhnya lives at the bottom of the waters, and the Sun's light reaches it for a fortnight.
For Ahirbudhnya, meditate in the hour before dawn and give to those who work at night. Offer water to the rising Sun after the meditation, and recite the Aditya Hridaya. Give wheat or copper on Sunday, and let the year close without a new beginning.
