Your birth nakshatra decides where the Vimshottari cycle starts for you. With the Moon in Bharani, life opens in a Shukra mahadasha — 20 years of a ripening toward love, beauty, and the sweetness of comfort.
You are rarely born at the very beginning of it. The Moon’s exact position inside Bharani decides how much of that 20-year period was already spent before you arrived, which is why two people with the same nakshatra can still change chapters years apart. How the 120-year cycle works →
