~~ Valerie Roebuck, The Circle of Stars, p.107
"The Fathers desired, "May we flourish in the world of the ancestors." One who makes the appropriate offering to the Fathers, to Magha, flourishes in the world of the ancestors.
Magha gives fame that lasts through the generations. Those born under it seek a high reputation for themselves, a kind of kingly or paternal status."
~~ David Frawley, Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra
Magha, for females:
"A frank and courageous nature and a charming and interesting character ... Unfortunately these attributes seem to engender envy on the part of those less fortunately bequeathed.
As a result, this person is subject to barbs of gossip and all through her life has many secret enemies who are jealous of her in one way or another. This in spite of the fact that hers is essentially an honorable and virtuous character not given to either thought or action which should bring slander or scandal.
She is particularly loyal to her family and will do anything to make them happy. As a result of his, her actions are often misconstrued and used against her by her enemies.."
~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 94.
Chandra in Magha: [Jodie Foster, Julia Roberts, Margaret Thatcher]
Magha, for males:
"A proud but not an arrogant nature - poised, self-contained and dignified. This man will command respect because of his quiet dignity of manner and hearing. His position in his community will be secure and his financial standing sound.
His weakness, however, is his susceptibility to the blandishments of the opposite sex. He must avoid entanglements which might lead to a loss of dignity, since, to this man, such a loss would be a tragedy."
~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 82.
Chandra in Magha: [Winston Churchill, Paramahamsha Yogananda]
