Marriage and Compatibility
Magha belongs to the Rakshasa gana and Antya nadi. In matching, a partner from the same nadi (Krittika, Rohini, Ashlesha and Swati and others) creates Nadi dosha unless an exception applies. Rakshasa gana matches best with Rakshasa.
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.
