Career and Nature
Ruled by Ketu, Magha natives often do well in research, spirituality, alternative healing, coding and investigative work. The deity the Pitrs (ancestors) and the symbol of a royal throne add their own flavour to the work style.
Birth dasha
Someone born with the Moon in Magha starts life in the Ketu Mahadasha. The balance depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra at birth.
