Nakshatra 10 of 27
Magha
Magha carries lineage and dignity. It wants to honour where it comes from and to be recognised, and it bristles at being treated as ordinary.
A nakshatra is one of the 27 lunar mansions of Vedic astrology. Yours is the one the Moon stood in when you were born, measured in the sidereal zodiac. Magha spans 0°00′ Leo to 13°20′ Leo.
Its ruler, Ketu, also opens the first of your life chapters (the Vimshottari dasha) if your Moon sits here.
Each nakshatra splits into four padas of 3°20′, 108 in all. Each pada falls in a navamsa sign, so the same mansion can lean four slightly different ways.
