In the vimshottari system

Mrigashira's planetary lord is Mars, so a person born with the Moon here starts life in a Mars mahadasha — see Mars mahadasha for what that period carries. The Moon's exact degree within Mrigashira sets how much of that first period remains at birth; the dasha calculator works it out from your birth details.
