About this pada

Pada 1 of Uttara Ashadha runs from Dhanu 26°40′ to Dhanu 30°00′ (3°20′ in all). This pada lies in Dhanu; its navamsa is Dhanu, ruled by Jupiter. The nakshatra's lord is Sun, so a birth in this pada begins with the Sun mahadasha. In the avakahada chakra (tradition), the name syllable of this pada is 'भे' (Bhe). Here the sign and the navamsa are the same (Dhanu); this is called vargottama.

What tradition holds

Tradition holds that people with the Moon in Uttara Ashadha move forward slowly but with firm steps. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: optimism, honesty, a love of learning and teaching, and lifting other people's spirits. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
