The lotus rising from mud: loyal, devoted and gifted at friendship and teamwork, even in hard places.
Dasha at birth
If your Moon is in Anuradha, your life begins in the Saturn dasha, a 19-year period; how much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Anuradha the Moon had travelled.
Anuradha in the Panchang
When the Moon passes through Anuradha, the day takes on a soft quality, traditionally good for friendship, love, art and anything to do with beauty. See today's nakshatra in the Panchang.
