Uttara Bhadrapada and the Dasha Sequence
The lord of Uttara Bhadrapada is Saturn. If the Moon was in Uttara Bhadrapada at birth, the Vimshottari Dasha sequence begins with the Mahadasha of Saturn, which lasts 19 years in full. The part remaining at birth depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the Nakshatra.
