The deep, still waters: wise, self-controlled, compassionate and steady under pressure.

Dasha at birth

If your Moon is in Uttara Bhadrapada, your life begins in the Saturn dasha, a 19-year period; how much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Uttara Bhadrapada the Moon had travelled.
