Dasha at birth
If your Moon is in Swati, your life begins in the Rahu dasha, a 18-year period; how much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Swati the Moon had travelled.
Swati in the Panchang
When the Moon passes through Swati, the day takes on a movable quality, traditionally good for travel, moving and change. See today's nakshatra in the Panchang.
