Uttara Ashadha

Uttara Ashadha is the 21st of the 27 nakshatras of Indian astrology. Degrees: 26°40′ Sagittarius–10°00′ Capricorn. Ruling planet: the Sun. Deity: the Vishvadevas, the universal gods. Symbol: an elephant's tusk.

Personality

Final victory, won honestly. This nakshatra is considered one of the most auspicious for long-term undertakings: what is begun under it is carried through to the end.

Strength: honesty, endurance, authority. Weakness: inflexibility and a tendency toward loneliness.

Ruling Planet and Deity

The ruling planet, the Sun, determines through which period of life the nakshatra's theme unfolds: in the dasha system, it is the ruler of the Moon's nakshatra at birth that determines which period a person's life begins with.

The nakshatra’s deity is the Vishvadevas, the universal gods. In the tradition, this deity reveals the nakshatra’s meaning more deeply than a description of character does: it is invoked in rituals connected with this part of the sky.

Each nakshatra is divided into four "padas" of 3°20′, and in Jyotish the pada refines the description. Determining the pada precisely requires the time and place of birth.

Suitable Occupations

Tradition associates the Uttara Ashadha nakshatra with the following fields: government service, management, law, science, public service.

This is not career advice but a description of traditional correspondences. Your nakshatra is determined by the Moon's position, so you need your date, time, and place of birth.

Compatibility

In Kundali Milan, the Indian comparison of charts before marriage, the Moon's nakshatra determines most of the 36 compatibility points: Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi are calculated from it, while Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot come from the Moon sign.

Separately, the tradition takes "Nadi Dosha" into account: if both partners' nakshatras share the same nadi, the marriage is considered unfavorable. This is one of the most controversial parts of the system, and it is the reason perfectly good matches fall apart in India.
