Uttara Bhadrapada Chandrashtama Days 2026-2027: Dates & Times

Chandrashtama is read two ways. By Janma Rasi, people born in Uttara Bhadrapada follow the Meenam Rasi window, when the Moon passes through the 8th sign from Meenam. Tamil daily panchangams also mark it by star: the day the Moon is in Swati, the 17th star from Uttara Bhadrapada. This page lists both, for every month of 2026 and 2027.

Uttara Bhadrapada nakshatra, which falls under the Meenam Rasi used for its Chandrashtama dates

Uttara Bhadrapada sits in the Meenam Rasi, so the rasi window below is the Meenam one; the star-level day is the Moon in Swati.

Uttara Bhadrapada Nature: Focused on deep wisdom, patience, and the power of solitude.

Deity: Ahir Budhanya

Next time the Moon is in Uttara Bhadrapada: Fri, 20 Nov, 6:56 am – Sat, 21 Nov, 6:51 am IST. See today's nakshatra →

Swati lies wholly inside Thulam, the sign the Moon occupies during this rasi window. So for Uttara Bhadrapada the two methods never disagree: the star-level day always falls within the rasi window and narrows it from about two and a quarter days to about one.

Tarabalam for Uttara Bhadrapada

Tarabalam rates any day by the star the Moon is in, counted from Uttara Bhadrapada. The count repeats every nine stars, so each of the nine taras comes from three Moon stars. Check the day's star in any panchangam and read its tara below.

  1. Janma (not good): when the Moon is in Uttara Bhadrapada, Pushya and Anuradha; the Moon is back in your own star; keep the day light.
  2. Sampat (very good): when the Moon is in Revati, Ashlesha and Jyeshtha; wealth and gains.
  3. Vipat (bad): when the Moon is in Ashwini, Magha and Mula; obstacles and losses.
  4. Kshema (good): when the Moon is in Bharani, Purva Phalguni and Purva Ashadha; well-being and safety.
  5. Pratyak (not good): when the Moon is in Krittika, Uttara Phalguni and Uttara Ashadha; opposition and friction.
  6. Sadhaka (very good): when the Moon is in Rohini, Hasta and Shravana; achievement; good for starting work.
  7. Naidhana (totally bad): when the Moon is in Mrigashira, Chitra and Dhanishta; the weakest tara; avoid new beginnings.
  8. Mitra (good): when the Moon is in Ardra, Swati and Shatabhisha; friendship and support.
  9. Parama Mitra (good): when the Moon is in Punarvasu, Vishakha and Purva Bhadrapada; the closest support.

During the rasi Chandrashtama window the tara for Uttara Bhadrapada is Naidhana, Mitra, Parama Mitra, the same every month.

How these times are calculated

All times are in IST, computed from the Moon's sidereal position with the Lahiri ayanamsa: the Thirukanitha method, the same basis Drik Panchang uses. Vakya panchangams, which many Tamil calendars still print, can differ by around 30 minutes at a star change. Days here run midnight to midnight; panchangams that start the day at sunrise show early-morning changes under the previous date.

Uttara Bhadrapada Chandrashtama: common questions

Is Uttara Bhadrapada's Chandrashtama the same as Purva Bhadrapada's?

By rasi, yes: both follow the Meenam Rasi window. By star, no: Tamil panchangams list Uttara Bhadrapada when the Moon is in Swati and Purva Bhadrapada when it is in Chitra, so their star-level days fall about a day apart inside or next to that window.

Why does my calendar show Uttara Bhadrapada under Chandrashtama on only one day?

Daily panchangams list Chandrashtama by star: the day's entry names the stars whose 17th star the Moon is in. Uttara Bhadrapada appears while the Moon is in Swati, about a day, whereas the Meenam Rasi window lasts about two and a quarter days.

Which Moon stars are weakest for Uttara Bhadrapada?

Naidhana tara, the weakest, comes when the Moon is in Mrigashira, Chitra and Dhanishta. Vipat (Ashwini, Magha and Mula) and Pratyak (Krittika, Uttara Phalguni and Uttara Ashadha) are also unfavourable for starting new work.
