Description
While its predecessor, Purva Ashadha, dealt with the initiative and extremism needed to achieve victory and was symbolized by the elephants tusks, Uttara Ashadha can be equated to the elephant that wields those tusks which no animal can defeat and deals with making victories and achievements permanent and secure. The deity of this mansion is Vishvadeva, which literally translates as “all the gods”, and represents the entire Hindu pantheon combined into one. Both the symbol and the deity represent such a vast support in the form of size, numbers or allies that no one can even try to defeat it.
Despite this, the weakness of this mansion is in the area of marriage and relationships, as this is the only mansion whose animal is the mongoose. This mansion is often encountered in the maps of people with worldwide fame and success, such as Elvis Presley (Mercury, Venus and Rahu), John Lennon and Napoleon (Moon), Washington and Lincoln (Moon), Einstein (Rahu and Mars), Steve Jobs (Venus), The Dalai Lama (Rahu), Benjamin Franklin (Sun), Mohammad Ali and Martin Luther King Jr (Sun), Theodore Roosevelt (Mars), Friedrich Nietzsche (Saturn) and Michael Jordan (Mercury and Ketu).
Jupiter is debilitated at 5° of Capricorn in this lunar mansion, due to its competitive, violent and extremist nature. In the birth chart of Barack Obama, Jupiter is located in Uttara Asadha along with Saturn, the ruler of Capricorn, in a combination known as ‘cancellation of debilitation’.
