Part of the Careers by Nakshatra series →

Uthradam (Uttara Ashadha) is the 21st nakshatra. Its 1st pada is in Dhanu (Sagittarius) and its other 3 padas are in Makara (Capricorn). Its lord is Surya (the Sun), and its deity is Brahma, the creator. Uthradam people do well in leadership, public service and patient, long-term work.

Also called: उत्तराषाढा (Hindi) · உத்திராடம் (Tamil) · ഉത്രാടം (Malayalam) · ఉత్తరాషాఢ (Telugu) · ಉತ್ತರಾಷಾಢ (Kannada)

Best careers for Uthradam

  • Government: IAS officer, civil servant, judge, army officer
  • Law and teaching (Dhanu pada): lawyer, teacher, researcher, advisor
  • Large organisations (Makara padas): manager, operations head, engineer, PSU officer
  • Building and founding: entrepreneur, institution builder, infrastructure manager

Why these fields

  • Sun: leadership and integrity.
  • Capricorn (Makara): discipline and staying power.
  • Brahma: the power to create and build lasting things.

Strength of the lord

The Sun is uccha in Aries (Mesha), deepest at 10°, and neecha in Libra (Tula), deepest at 10°. A strong Sun helps Uthradam people rise in government and large organisations. Also, Jupiter's deepest neecha point, 5° Capricorn (Makara), falls in Uthradam's 3rd pada. A Jupiter there can weaken law, teaching and advisory work, unless other planets support it.

Your nakshatra shows your nature, but the 10th bhava shows your work. The 10th lord's placement and strength shape career growth, and planets in the 10th bhava often point to the field.
