- Ruling planet

- Deity

- Symbol
- Coiled serpent
It covers 16°40′ to 30° of Karka. Ruled by the Nagas, the serpent deities, Ashlesha's symbol is the coiled serpent; here the serpent represents both healing and poison, both intuition and secrecy. People with the Moon here are sharp observers, strategic and psychologically deep. Healing, psychology, research and diplomacy are typical fields. Suspicion, a slide into manipulation and emotional possessiveness need attention. It belongs to the “rakshasa” group and is one of the sharp (tikshna) mansions; it is linked with hidden knowledge, medicinal herbs and psychological observation.
When is the Moon in this nakshatra?
The Moon passes through each nakshatra about every 27.3 days and stays in each one for about a day. Times are given in Turkey time.
