Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra
Uttara Ashadha is the latter victory — the durable, quiet success that follows Purva Ashadha's charge. The Sun gives it integrity; the Vishvedevas (all the gods together) give universal support. Its natives finish what they start, keep their word, and age into greater authority.
