Ashlesha Nakshatra
Ashlesha gives intuition and serpent-like perception — you sense motives others miss.
Ruling PlanetMercury
DeityThe Nagas, the serpent powers
SymbolA coiled serpent
GanaRakshasa
SpanKarka 16°40′ – Karka 29°60′
Birth DashaMercury Mahadasha opens the chart
The four padas of Ashlesha
Pada 1Karka 16°40′
Pada 2Karka 20°00′
Pada 3Karka 23°20′
Pada 4Karka 26°40′
Each pada is 3°20′ — a quarter of the nakshatra. The Moon's pada refines the reading and, in the navamsha, decides which sign the Moon's strength flows to.
Moon in Ashlesha? A birth under Ashlesha begins life inside the Mercury mahadasha, and the nakshatra's lord colours the mind's first instincts. Your exact pada and the dasha balance at birth are part of your free kundli.
