The Sun in Magha

The nakshatra Magha (00°00′ — 13°20′ of Leo, the ruling planet is Ketu) is represented by a sickle-shaped group of six stars.  The brightest of them is Regulus. «Magha» is translated as «the strong one»; other meanings of this word are «mighty», «beneficent», «great», «magnificent», «the most important», «generous». This nakshatra represents people who occupy an important, significant position, who have power over others, who continue the traditions of their families. Magha is a demonic star, bad by its nature, but if the lagna is placed in it, then it brings good fortune to the owner of the horoscope. The presiding deities are the Pitars (the fathers, the ancestors); the symbol of the nakshatra is the royal chambers.

The Sun in the nakshatra Magha (that is, for those born approximately from 16 to 29 August) gives the following qualities: possessing leadership qualities, occupying an authoritative position, able to entertain an audience, musical, seeking attention, regal, proud, loving adventures and travel, connected with a line of spiritual succession.

If the Sun is placed in the nakshatra Magha and is aspected by:

• the Moon — regality, fame;
• Mars — cruelty, industriousness;
• Mercury — a literary talent, an attractive, somewhat asocial personality;
• Jupiter — the owner of the horoscope may become a good architect;
• Venus — temperament, an ill fame;
• Saturn — envy.
