About Ashlesha Nakshatra

Ashlesha, ruled by Mercury and governed by the Nagas, is the embracing or clinging star. It grants hypnotic charisma, penetrating insight, cunning and a deep connection to hidden, serpentine wisdom.

Each nakshatra spans 13°20′ of the zodiac and is divided into four padas. The Moon's nakshatra at birth (your Janma Nakshatra) seeds the Vimshottari Dasha and the auspicious starting sound for naming.
