Reading Magha
Magha — presided by Pitris, symbol "Throne", ruled by Ketu. The temperament is a rakshasa (fierce) temperament — intense, self-willed and unconventional with a Kapha (earthy) constitution — steady, patient and nurturing, and a resourceful and industrious instinct (Rat yoni). The Ketu lordship lends detachment, spirituality, past-life skills, liberation and intuition. Energies here favour forceful works (confrontation, decisive action).
