Magha is the 10th nakshatra, spanning 0°00' – 13°20' Leo. Its symbol is the royal throne, its presiding deity Pitris, and its Vimshottari lord Ketu. Ancestral authority: dignity, lineage, and a natural claim to leadership.

People born with the Moon in Magha begin life in a Ketu mahadasha, which colours the opening chapter of their story. The gana is Rakshasa, which matters in traditional match-making.
