graha in nakshatra
Jupiter in Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra (Guru in उत्तर भाद्रपद)
333°20′ – 346°40′ sidereal · Pisces · star of Saturn
Uttara Bhadrapada, the 26th of the 27 nakshatras, covers 333°20′ – 346°40′ of the sidereal zodiac, wholly inside Pisces. Uttara Bhadrapada is ruled by Saturn, so Jupiter in Uttara Bhadrapada stands in Saturn’s star.
Jupiter and Saturn count each other neutral, so in Uttara Bhadrapada the graha and the lord of its star agree about each other. The other two nakshatras Saturn rules, Pushya and Anuradha, put Jupiter under the same star lord.

By rashi, Jupiter is in its own sign in all four padas of Uttara Bhadrapada, because the whole nakshatra lies in Pisces. By navamsa the four padas fall in Leo, Virgo, Libra and Scorpio. Jupiter’s strongest navamsas in Uttara Bhadrapada are padas 1 (Leo, in a friend's sign) and 4 (Scorpio, in a friend's sign), and its weakest are padas 2 (Virgo, in an enemy's sign) and 3 (Libra, in an enemy's sign).
Neither Jupiter’s deepest exaltation (Cancer) nor its deepest debilitation (Capricorn) degree falls inside Uttara Bhadrapada, and Jupiter’s moolatrikona lies outside it as well, so in Uttara Bhadrapada the rashi and navamsa verdicts above are the whole of Jupiter’s dignity.
