What is Shatabhisha Nakshatra?
Shatabhisha is one of the 27 nakshatras, spanning 306°40′–320°00′ of the sidereal zodiac and falling in Aquarius. It is ruled by Rahu, and its gana is Rakshasa, its nadi Adi and its yoni Horse.
Which graha rules Shatabhisha Nakshatra?
Rahu. That lordship is why a person born under Shatabhisha begins life in the Rahu mahadasha, which runs 18 years in the Vimshottari cycle.
Which rashi does Shatabhisha fall in?
Aquarius. A nakshatra spans 13°20′ and a rashi spans 30°, so most nakshatras cross a rashi boundary rather than sitting neatly inside one.

Shatabhisha has Rakshasa gana and Adi nadi. Both are used in Ashtakoota matching — gana is worth six points and nadi eight.
What is the yoni of Shatabhisha?
Horse. The yoni koota compares the animals assigned to two birth nakshatras and is worth four points out of 36.
How many padas does Shatabhisha have?
Four, like every nakshatra. Each pada is 3°20′ wide, giving 108 padas across the whole zodiac.
