In the night sky, #Magha #nakshatra is represented by #Regulus (Alpha-Leonis), the brightest #star in the #constellation of #Leo. The name Magha translates as “Magnificent” and is symbolized by a #royal #throne.

People born under Magha have the ability to use power and position to attain their highest goals. The core of this nakshatra is achievement and nobility. Magha is ruled by the #Pitris, the ancestors of the human race. Those born under this star have a strong connection to their lineage and often have grand expectations for their children. Magha nakshatra produces an appreciation for tradition and ritual. People born under this nakshatra take pride in where they came from and maintain established traditions. This star demands strong morals and can give honor and prestige if one follows an ethical code. Those born under Magha are magnanimous and have a regal, even lion-like demeanor.

Sacred Energy Vortex
#Thavasimadai #Sri #Mahalinga Swami

The sacred temple associated with Magha star is Thavasimadai Sri Mahalinga Swami located in Thavasimadai near Dindigul in Tamil Nadu, India. Those people born under Magha star should worship the sacred shrine at some point in their life time.

In ancient times, this gigantic Lord #Shiva #temple was known as Thapas Viradam. It is presently in poor condition, with only one or two small places where deities manifest in the temple. This temple has been neglected during the Kaliyuga with little or no offerings being made to the deities. It is truly the responsibility of devotees to renovate the temple and return this sacred shrine to the ancient prominence it once had. There are still abundant energies generated through austerity at Thavasimadai.

The people born under Magha nakshatra have the magnificent energy of leadership. They should be involved in charities, philanthropy, and perform penance with the guidance of a spiritual teacher as they possess spiritual energy to gain distinction in every field. They are capable of success in government, administration, and worldly affairs. Magha star is ruled by #Ketu, people born under Magha should worship at this temple during days favorable to Ketu and then they will receive the benefic effects. Abhishekam and worship should be performed to Lord Shiva at this temple. An offering of puffed rice, the favorite of the great sages, can be made to the deities and then given to the poor.

There are two goddesses at Thavasimadai Sri Mahalingeswarar temple. These goddesses are placed at the side of the main shrine, as this is the custom of worshipping the goddesses. In ancient times thousands of rishis and saints were in deep mediation to perform penance at this temple. The women, wanting to refrain from disturbing the rishis and saints, developed the habit of worshipping from a distance.

Mahaththavam is when the service to God is entrusted by the spiritual teacher continues until the teacher orders it to stop. The shrine at Thavasimadai is filled with abundance of Mahaththava superhuman powers. The great sage, Bharadwaja Maharishi conducted meditation here. Those born under Magha star would benefit by visiting the temple and returning it to a place of spiritual austerity.

Magha nakshatra natives, your incense is made with the herb Banyan as prescribed by the Vedas.

Burning one of these pillars is like performing a mini fire ritual for that particular star formation. For your specific Birthstar, you will be able to connect inwardly to your planet of energetic origin and gain support with the positive aspects that are you.

Burning the other Nakshatra pillars on that specific Nakshatra day will tune you in with the favorable activities with that star’s energy for the day. It is recommended to at least burn your own personal Nakshatra pillar daily to stay connected to your essence. It is advantageous to burn the days Nakshatra pillar as well.

#Magha #Nakshatra is the tenth of 27 #nakshatras. If you were born when the moon was between 0:00-13:20 degrees #Leo

#Sanskrit Name: मघा (Magha). Some meanings of the word magha are “power,” and “wealth,” indicating good fortune, inner strength, and a strict demeanor.

Planetary Ruler: #Ketu. Known in the Puranas as the headless body of the shadow planet Rahu, Ketu is associated with intensity, loss, and transcendence.

Nakshatra Group: Monstrous. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Magha is a monstrous nakshatra. People in this group are generally intuitive, strong-willed, and assertive. They may be prone to anger and violence.

Zodiac Sign: Leo. Leo is famously associated with the king of the jungle, the lion. Leos are powerful, brave, big-hearted individuals who may struggle with pride.

Deity: #Daksha, or the #Pitris. In Sanskrit, “pitri” refers to one’s deceased ancestors. Daksha is the leader of the Prajapatis, who are considered the original progenitors of mankind and thus the original #ancestors.

Symbol: A #palanquin or #throne. This represents royalty, nobility, power, and wealth.

Power: To renounce. Although Maghas attract much material opulence and success, this nakshatra has the ability to let go. This power is also associated with the ultimate renunciation of the mortal body at death.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Magha are Ma (मा), Me (मी), Moo (मू), and May (मे). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
The nakshatra Magha is often considered “the mighty one.” Magha natives are individuals of great power. Leadership comes naturally to you, and your bravery, ambition, and industriousness will likely put you in a position of influence. Wealth and prosperity are yours for the taking.

You have a sharp intellect and are able to understand things on a deep level. You can reach to the depths of any subject, and this sets you apart from being merely intelligent — you are wise. You don’t lead only with force and brawn, but with wisdom and warmth.

People trust you because you are always straightforward and truthful. You don’t hide your motives. You’re unlikely to turn a blind eye to inconvenient facts, since you prefer to face difficulty directly — you take the truth head on and use it to bolster, rather than discourage, your optimism.

You are loyal and loving to your friends and family. You are fair and responsible and never let down the people who count on you. Generally well-behaved and modest, your personal qualities and big heart endear you to those who know you and, potentially, to the masses.

Magha Careers
Magha natives will shine in careers where their leadership abilities are utilized, and where there is the opportunity for growth and advancement. They should avoid careers where they have little or no independence.

Some ideal professions include:

Entrepreneur, C-level executive, or manager
Politician or lawyer
Historian or librarian
Public speaker or actor/actress
Weaknesses
One of the greatest challenges Magha natives face is their own pride. The strong ego you require in order to achieve your ambitions can also lead to arrogance. Since you are more driven than most people, you will likely end up in positions of leadership — and this can lead you to feel that you are better than others.

When this egotistical nature gets the better of you, you may intentionally or unintentionally hurt others. You have a hot temper and dislike being threatened, and can respond explosively to perceived slights. You can be too outspoken and may be disdainful of others opinions, especially when you believe those opinions present a threat to your own position.

Ultimately, Maghas crave attention and approval. This may come as a surprise to outsiders who see only your strength and confidence. Your incredible drive and ambition stem largely from your need to gain approval from others and, more challengingly, from yourself. Nothing you do is ever good enough in your own eyes.

Your exacting perfectionism could leave you forever unsatisfied if you don’t learn to fully accept yourself, flaws and failings included. Otherwise, you could go through your whole life doubting yourself and being resentful of those you compare yourself to.

Recommended: Learn more about the science of the Vedas and how Vedic knowledge can help you elevate your consciousness and enhance your life.

Other Personality Traits
You are religious. You are drawn to spirituality and enjoy ceremony and ritual. You are loyal to your religious tradition.

You like tradition. Tradition is something that you believe should be respected. In general, you have great appreciation for past generations and what they have established through their own endeavors. Family traditions are important to you and you will strive to uphold them throughout your life.

You may feel racially superior. Your tendency towards arrogance can lead you to feel that your own racial or ethnic group is superior to others. Try to develop empathy for those who are different from you by establishing friendships with those from different backgrounds and exposing yourself to other cultures.

You are well-served. Your leadership qualities make others naturally follow you. There will probably be many people who follow your instructions and do their best to please you.

You can be authoritarian. You can fall into the habit of acting like your opinion is the only one that matters. This can make you boss others around without due consideration for their thoughts or feelings.

Magha Compatibility
Magha sexuality is symbolized by a male rat. In terms of physical compatibility, this makes them an ideal match for persons born under Purva-phalguni nakshatra.

Based on holistic matching, Maghas are most likely to find happiness in long-term partnerships with:

Bharani
Krittikas in Aries
Ardra (for male natives)
Purva-phalguni
Uttara-phalgunis in Leo (for female natives)
Vishakha (for female natives)
Vishakhas in Scorpio (for male natives)
Mula
Purva-ashadha
Uttara-ashadhas in Sagittarius (for female natives)
Dhanisthas in Aquarius (for female natives)
Shatabisha (for male natives)
Note: Compatibility in relationships is a complex science that looks at many different factors. You should always consult with an experienced astrologer who can carefully analyze the charts of both you and your partner.

Magha’s Four Quarters ( #Padas)
Each nakshatra is divided into four quarters, also known as padas, of 3:20 degrees each. These quarters are based on a 1/9th divisional chart, known in Sanskrit as navamsha.

The moon’s position at your time of birth determines the quarter in which you are born.

First Quarter (0:00-3:20 degrees Leo): Aries. You have a strong will and like to get your way. You are fiery and intense, and those who antagonize you are likely to get burnt. Whether you are male or female, you possess qualities that would traditionally be referred to as masculine. You are very creative. You can be too hasty, jumping into action without proper planning and overlooking details as you go.

Second Quarter (3:20-6:40 degrees Leo): Taurus. Family means everything to you, and there’s nothing you like better than spending time with them. You are attractive, both externally and internally, and people are drawn to your beauty and charismatic personality. You like the finer things in life and can probably afford them. Once you’ve made a decision, you stand firmly by it and don’t waver in the face of opposition.

Third Quarter (6:40-10:00 degrees Leo): Gemini. The influence of Gemini bestows a cunning and clever mind. You are a gifted communicator in both writing and speech. You enjoy a good battle of wits and can think up a good plan for any situation. You are artistic and enjoy coming up with new ideas and utilizing your artistic talents in a number of ways.

Fourth Quarter (10:00-13:20 degrees Leo): Cancer. The softness of Cancer balances some of Magha’s harsher qualities. You are sensitive — you aren’t as thick-skinned as other Maghas may appear to be and you are very attuned to the thoughts and feelings of others. You have great respect for your elders, knowing that their experience gives them wisdom you can learn from. You are loved by many.

Magha in Electional Astrology
In electional astrology, also known as muhurtha, nakshatras are used to determine favorable days and times for important ceremonies and events, such as weddings, buying a new house or vehicle, commencing a project, or conceiving a child.

The electional nature of Magha is Krura or Ugra, “fierce” and “harsh.” Magha is an excellent nakshatra for:

Giving up bad habits
Cutting off toxic relationships
Quitting a job
Any destructive act, such as weeding or demolition
Performing vows or retreats, such as a day of silence
Doing any kind of detox or cleanse

#Magha #Nakshatra in #Astrology
Magha Nakshatra is the 10th of 27 #Nakshatras, ranging from 0 degrees to 13 degrees and 20 minutes in Leo. It has 4 padas as follows:

This constellation ultimately falls under the zodiac Leo and is called ‘The Mighty One.’ The planet that rules this Nakshatra is #Ketu. Deities are the ‘ #Pitris’ or the ancestors. They guide and protect Magha natives.

These people are very traditional. They like to hold on to their ancestors, lineage, and anything related to the past. So, ancestral properties and inheritances are the significant themes under this Nakshatra. Basically, the Magha natives are interested in anything related to the past, be it ancestral, historical, scriptures, events, archaeological, etc.

If Mercury is transiting in Magha, the native is interested in written documents such as scriptures. On the other hand, if Ketu is posited in Magha, the native gets interested in the secret hidden knowledge like occult and tantra vidya. However, if Mars placement is in the Nakshatra of Magha, the native is interested in the critical history of a nation. Depending on the planetary influence or planets placed in this Nakshatra, the native develops various interests. But the theme of the Nakshatra is always there, i.e., anything related to the past or ancestral.

They usually have collections of antiques or hold on to the things passed down from generation to generation. They are strongly connected to the family name. Also, they receive good inheritances or family wealth. These natives are generally considered lucky since they are born with silver spoons in their mouth. They also witness unexpected good things happening to them frequently and out of the blue. It is with the blessings of ancestors that they get desirable things.

There is a mythological story with respect to this Nakshatra. ‘Karna’, the eldest son of Kunti, dies and goes to heaven. There he is served food in the form of gold. He asks how he is supposed to eat it. He is informed that on earth, he offered only gold in the name of his Pitris or ancestors. That’s why he was getting food made of gold. He understands it and comes back to earth for 15 days just to give food as an offering to his ancestors. These 15 days are celebrated as ‘Pitru-Paksha’, and it comes in the month of September.

One thing that Magha natives should do is give offerings to their ancestors and respect them. They are the guardian angels.

The symbol of this Nakshatra is a #palanquin or #throne. It is a symbol of being an authority, royal, rich, and heritage. The Magha natives feel that they want fame, power, position, and high status because they are born like that. They make big plans and execute. They are achievers and fearless.

Magha nakshatra males and females get success easily. They have a high level of confidence. However, they are natural leaders. They are straight forward and outspoken. They are generally good people. Due to these qualities, many politicians are of Magha Nakshatra.

They take care of their group, whoever they are leading. They are like a king. But if they feel that someone is negating their way of thinking and executing plans, they get very hot-tempered. They cannot stand any denial because they have a sense of authority. Magha natives have the motives to achieve worldly success, wealth, fame, power, and status. Whether it be their family, team at office or followers, they take care of them as guardians and protectors.

They don’t talk much. These natives might look arrogant, proud, and snobbish. However, they are just regal. Small talk is not for them. They can be reactive where their mission or policies are concerned. They are hot-headed and can take strong action.

The power of this Nakshatra is ‘letting go of your physical body’. That means letting go of material attachments. So the natives have a lot of energy and power to get into spirituality. A lot of Yogis are born under this Nakshatra. Maharishi Mahesh Yogi (introduced transcendental meditation) and Paramhansa Yogananda had their Moon in Magha. However, Magha natives have the capacity to go beyond their physical self and move towards liberation.

They can be very materialistic or very spiritual. By the way, their actions are very drastic and extreme. But they are sometimes considered very cruel. Undoubtedly, they are perfectionists. They want to be known as leaders. They are constantly analyzing their actions and finding their faults. A streak of jealousy and hatred can crop up against the people with whom they compete with.

There is a lot of restlessness in this Nakshatra. They are physically strong people. They sometimes tend to think that they are higher beings. However, they have a superiority complex. They prefer to be served rather than serving. They enjoy flattery and cannot take criticism. They are loyal to their group and generous, and have a big heart for them.
