About this pada

Pada 2 of Magha runs from Simha 3°20′ to Simha 6°40′ (3°20′ in all). This pada lies in Simha; its navamsa is Vrishabha, ruled by Venus. The nakshatra's lord is Ketu, so a birth in this pada begins with the Ketu mahadasha. In the avakahada chakra (tradition), the name syllable of this pada is 'मी' (Mi).

What tradition holds

Tradition associates Magha with family, heritage and respect for one's roots. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: patience, reliability, good sense with money and resources, and a feel for beauty and the arts. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
