Ashleshaआश्लेषा
Ashlesha is the ninth Nakshatra (16°40'–30° Karka), symbolized by a coiled serpent and ruled by the Nagas (serpent deities). Its Yoni (compatibility animal) is Cat, its Gana is Rakshasa, and its Nadi is Antya (Kapha).
Ashlesha is explicitly on this app's unfavorable list for Griha Pravesh (housewarming) and is not on the favorable list for any of the other three Muhurat Search activities (vehicle purchase, property purchase, new job) — Muhurat Search will flag it as a negative factor specifically for housewarming.
Ashlesha's Visha Ghati begins at the 32nd ghati (of 60) — just past the midpoint of the Nakshatra's span.
Ashlesha is ruled by the Nagas, serpent deities associated with hidden knowledge, transformation, and guarding treasure. Its symbol is a coiled serpent, representing latent power and penetrating perception. Its ruling planet (Nakshatra lord, used in Vimshottari Dasha sequencing) is Mercury.
Classical texts associate Ashlesha with sharp intelligence, penetrating insight, and a somewhat guarded or secretive nature — the serpent that can both heal (via venom used medicinally) and harm. People with a strong Ashlesha influence are traditionally described as perceptive, strategic, and difficult to deceive.
Per the traditional naming-syllable table this app uses for the Baby Names feature, a child born under Ashlesha's four Padas is traditionally named starting with "Di", "Du", "De", or "Do" respectively.
