Shatabhisha nakshatra traits
The hundred healers: independent, scientific, secretive and gifted at solving hidden problems.
Dasha at birth
If your Moon is in Shatabhisha, your life begins in the Rahu dasha, a 18-year period; how much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Shatabhisha the Moon had travelled.
Shatabhisha in the Panchang
When the Moon passes through Shatabhisha, the day takes on a movable quality, traditionally good for travel, moving and change. See today's nakshatra in the Panchang.

Rahu. People born with the Moon in Shatabhisha begin life in the Rahu dasha.
