Symbolism and Meaning
The symbols are the Back Legs of a Funeral Cot or Twins. The back legs signify the stability and rest that follow transformation. The twins symbolize the balance of opposites—the union of the divine and the human. 'Uttara Bhadrapada' means "the later beautiful step."
Ruling Deity: Ahirbudhnya (Serpent of the Deep)
The presiding deity is Ahirbudhnya, the celestial serpent of the deep sea. He represents the Kundalini energy resting at the base of the spine and the hidden wisdom of the subconscious. This connection grants natives immense depth, a calm exterior, and the power to tap into profound mysteries.
