Description
While its predecessor dealt with beginnings of journeys and in single actions with far reaching consequences, this mansion mainly deals with reaching the final destination and the results after the deeds. The deity of this mansion is Ahirbudhnya (treasurer\shepherd of the deep), the Hindu version of Tiamat, Apep, Leviathan, Typhon, Jormungandr, Quetzalcoatl and a plethora of other chaos serpent\dragon myths around the world. Ahirbudhnya is surprisingly similar to the western notion of dragons that lurk beneath the ground, usually in caves, and guard legendary and vast treasures. This is why a large theme of this mansion is letting go of the material both in the sense of wealth and in the sense of the body itself, neither of which stay with a person after death. This is also the meaning of Uttara Bhadrapada’s symbols, the twins and the back part of the funeral pyre, both of which represent the duality (and separation) of the material and the spiritual.
This mansion contains the Moon in the chart of Bill Gates, emphasizing its connection to treasures. It also contains Venus and Jupiter in the chart of J. Robert Oppenheimer and Mercury and Saturn in the chart of Albert Einstein, emphasizing its connection to discoveries like the theory of relativity and splitting the atom, and to hidden resources like Uranium. Other famous people with Uttara Bhadrapada prominent in their chart include Casanova (Sun), De Gaulle (Moon), Washington (Venus and Saturn), Queen Elizabeth II (Mercury), Queen Victoria (Saturn), George Clooney and Jennifer Aniston (Venus), Friedrich Nietzsche and Brad Pitt (Jupiter), and Thomas Aquinas (Rahu).
Mercury enters deep debilitation in 15° of Pisces in this lunar mansion, whose mysterious and dualistic symbolism stands in stark contrast to the swift, witty and logical Mercury.
