General Description of Uttaraashadha characteristics 

-- from Das/ Behari

General

You have a well-proportioned, tall body with a broad head, long nose & bright eyes. A charming & graceful appearance with fair complexion. You will be refined, soft-spoken, pure-hearted & an innocent looking countenance. 

In case you happen to occupy a very high position in society, you will not like to express pomp & show & will dress simply. You give respect to all & are god fearing. It is not easy for others to find out your underlying merits & demerits. It is only after several acquaintances & dealings one can come to a conclusion about your behavioral aspect. 

In most of the cases, it has been noticed that there will be a black mole around your waist or on the face. A slight reddish color is noticed in your eyes. You will be very plain in your dealings & will show utmost sincerity in all the work you undertake. You will not deceive others & would not like to cause any trouble to others. So much so, due to your inherent good behavior quality you often land into uncalled for problems. 

While you are plain hearted, you will not give in to any pressure & will not bestow full confidence on anybody. But once you take a person into confidence nobody can change you. To certain extent, you are slave to flattery & expect that others must look after your welfare. You will not make any hasty decision, whereas full consultation with trusted persons will be obtained before coming to a conclusion. While you are very much involved in all activities you undertake, usually you are lazy. 

Even in the state of conflict you cannot utter harsh words directly & in spite of a difference of opinion you will not like to express your unhappiness to others. Any discussion you make with others will be without expressing ill-will. 

You are bound to shoulder many responsibilities at a young age. Due to this you are fully trained to shoulder any responsibility with perfection. Once you are convinced that any action carried out by you or words uttered by you happens to be wrong you will not hesitate to repent & express regret.  

Your every action requires recognition by others. Otherwise, you are dragged into the state of unhappiness. You are subjected to maximum happiness at one stage & the maximum unhappiness at the next. You have to be very careful in any controversial dealings. Before any collaboration is made, you have to completely screen the persons with whom you are entering into such collaboration. Otherwise, failure is certain. 

After the age of 38 years will mark all-round success and prosperity. Normally your childhood will be somewhat better. But later on you may have to face a lot of unexpected reversals & problems on the family front. It has been noticed that between the age of 28 & 31 some important change takes place in the family circle. 

Your married life will be more or less very good. You normally get a responsible & loving spouse. At the same time the health of your spouse will be a cause of concern. Your spouse will have problems of acidity. In spite of the comparative advantages mentioned above, you lack happiness from children & they will be a main cause of concern. 

You are prone to stomach problems, paralysis of limbs, pulmonary diseases. Poor eyesight or some defects in the eyes.
