The wrong fight

Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra

Uttara Ashadha falls in the sign of Sagittarius, the first Pada, and the remaining three Padas fall in the sign of Capricorn. It's one of the most formidable nakshatras, as it's jointly ruled by all gods. In Uttara Ashadha, all gods come together to defeat dark forces, demonic forces of the universe. This immediately is a sign of a large-scale collaborative effort for a cause, fighting for social issues.

All gods coming together to defeat dark forces is the essence of Uttara Ashadha. You find individuals fighting climate change. They come together in large numbers and they're trying to generate awareness. Others are fighting poverty and hunger in some ways.

There are organisations, large-scale, nationwide, worldwide organisations fighting hunger and poverty. Others are fighting public health challenges. During COVID, we saw many initiatives where people come together to provide help. In other cases, people come together to fight social injustice of some kind.

Rahu in Uttara Ashadha

When Rahu is in Uttara Ashadha, it's likely that you're fighting for the wrong reasons or you're fighting for the wrong cause altogether. There's also a possibility of you treating everyone who's opposing your view to be wrong. Treating everyone as an enemy, pointing fingers at everyone. Rahu clouds our judgment and therefore the native would delude oneself into thinking I'm fighting the right kind of fight.

I'm doing this for the society. Proper guidance would be necessary particularly if the sign where Rahu falls in this Nakshatra is the sign ruled by Saturn, the sign of Capricorn. The native might also fight issues which are foreign to the native. For example the native was born and brought up in one part of the world.

The native however has gone to another part of the world fighting their issues. The other downside I see is going to the extreme. If the native's point of view is disregarded the native might be ready to react impulsively and in an extreme way to prove oneself to be right. The optimism that the Uttara Ashadha native would possess can actually be a cause of delusion for the native.

The native might start believing in achieving a goal which seems impractical or illogical. Rahu is known to be behind new experiences. I think the native would learn from one's experience of fighting the wrong kind of battles, chasing the wrong kind of goal. That in my view is the purpose behind this position.

We learn from the wrong steps we've taken. We've gone to the extreme for something we later realised wasn't good for us. If Rahu falls in the sign of Sagittarius in this nakshatra the native would find plenty of opportunity to travel particularly in Rahu Antardasha. Altogether Rahu in Uttara Ashadha isn't a strong position.

It's also due to a difficult relationship Rahu shares with the nakshatra ruler Sun and that may translate to the native having issues with authority figures even the government. Proper guidance would be necessary.
