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: original thinking, fairness, loyalty in friendship, and a wish to do something for society. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
