Neptune in Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra
Neptune in Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra gives the Neptune a more specific tone than sign alone. Uttara Bhadrapada is ruled by Saturn, symbolized by back legs of a bed, meaning "The latter one who possesses lucky feet", and it can color the planet with themes like a cleansing and firey nature (tapas), a sense of responsibility to help others, able to conquer enemies, and all knowing. This page focuses on that combination, not a generic meaning of Neptune or Uttara Bhadrapada.
