Ardra in a birth chart
Your birth nakshatra (janma nakshatra) is the one the Moon was in when you were born. With Ardra, the Moon is in Gemini (Mithuna), and Rahu rules the first dasha of your life in the Vimshottari system, which is why your Mahadasha sequence starts with Rahu. In Kundli matching, its Manushya gana, Dog yoni and Adi nadi count for 18 of the 36 points.
