Your birth nakshatra decides where the Vimshottari cycle starts for you. With the Moon in Magha, life opens in a Ketu mahadasha — 7 years of a long inward tide that keeps loosening whatever no longer fits.
You are rarely born at the very beginning of it. The Moon’s exact position inside Magha decides how much of that 7-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 →

Ketu (Ketu). That matters for timing as well as temperament: if your Moon sits in Magha at birth, your life opens in a Ketu mahadasha, which runs 7 years.
Magha spans 0°00′ – 13°20′ of Simha (Leo). Every nakshatra is exactly 13°20′ of the 360° zodiac, and the 27 of them divide it evenly.
The symbol is a royal throne and the presiding deity is the Pitris — the ancestors.
