MaghaLeo 0°–13°20′

What Magha means in Vedic astrology

Magha is the 10th of the 27 Nakshatra — the lunar mansions that divide the sidereal zodiac into finer bands than the twelve Rāsi. It spans Leo 0°–13°20′, is ruled by Ketu, and is presided over by the deity Pitris.

Its symbol is the royal throne, and it belongs to the Rakshasa gana. Your Nakshatra is determined by the exact degree of the Moon at your birth, which makes it far more specific than your moon sign alone — and it is what drives your Vimshottari Dasha, the timing system at the heart of Jyotish prediction.
