If your Moon is in Uttara Ashadha

Your birth nakshatra decides where the Vimshottari cycle starts for you. With the Moon in Uttara Ashadha, life opens in a Surya mahadasha — 6 years of a rising into identity, authority, and being truly seen.

You are rarely born at the very beginning of it. The Moon’s exact position inside Uttara Ashadha decides how much of that 6-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 →
