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