Your Nakshatra is Magha - 4.
Magha: The Star of Power (Leo 00 00’-13 20’). Magha is correlated with the bright fixed star Regulus, the kingly star located in the heart of the Lion.
The word Magha means 'Power' and the symbol is 'Throne'. Magha means “the mighty one”, reflecting strength and spiritual leadership. The great Indian saint, Paramahansa Yogananda had both his Moon and rising sign in this powerful nakshatra. Magha is ruled by the Ancestors (Pitru deva). This is 10th nakshatra of the zodiac, ruled by the node Ketu and spanning from 00°-00' to 13°-20' in the sign Leo, ruled by Sun. Its symbol is the king’s chamber or palequin. The deities are the Pitris, the great protectors and fathers of humanity. Magha people have a fiery rakshasa temperament with a primary motivation of artha, or material prosperity. The ruling planet is Ketu which reveals the mystical nature of this asterism. The shakti is “the power to leave the body”. Spiritual liberation is possible here.
