Your birth nakshatra decides where the Vimshottari cycle starts for you. With the Moon in Punarvasu, life opens in a Guru mahadasha — 16 years of an expansion of wisdom, luck, and meaningful growth.
You are rarely born at the very beginning of it. The Moon’s exact position inside Punarvasu decides how much of that 16-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 →

Guru (Jupiter). That matters for timing as well as temperament: if your Moon sits in Punarvasu at birth, your life opens in a Guru mahadasha, which runs 16 years.
