Marriage and Compatibility
Shatabhisha belongs to the Rakshasa gana and Adi nadi. In matching, a partner from the same nadi (Ashwini, Ardra, Punarvasu and Uttara Phalguni and others) creates Nadi dosha unless an exception applies. Rakshasa gana matches best with Rakshasa.
Birth dasha
Someone born with the Moon in Shatabhisha starts life in the Rahu Mahadasha. The balance depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra at birth.
