Where lineage becomes light, and power bows to purpose.
Introduction
After the serpentine awakening of Ashlesha, the Moon enters Magha Nakshatra, the radiant constellation ruled by Ketu and presided over by the Pitris — the ancestral beings.
It represents royalty, honor, tradition, and continuity, where the past blesses the present to shape the future.
In Vaastu and Jyotish, Magha signifies foundations, legacy buildings, temples, palaces, and ancestral spaces — anything that connects one’s roots to their purpose.
It is the seat of karmic honor, where souls inherit both power and responsibility.
