Ashlesha in a birth chart
Your birth nakshatra (janma nakshatra) is the one the Moon was in when you were born. With Ashlesha, the Moon is in Cancer (Karka), and Mercury rules the first dasha of your life in the Vimshottari system, which is why your Mahadasha sequence starts with Mercury. In Kundli matching, its Rakshasa gana, Cat yoni and Antya nadi count for 18 of the 36 points.
