Zodiac Span
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.

Your janma nakshatra is fixed by the Moon's exact position at your birth minute — a birth time even 20 minutes off can shift the pada. JYTS.H computes it from Swiss Ephemeris data and reads your full chart, dasha timeline, and daily sky against it.
