Shatabhisha Nakshatra
A birth under Shatabhisha begins a Rahu mahadasha of 18 years, which sets the whole Vimshottari timeline that follows. Its presiding deity is Varuna, the keeper of cosmic order, and the name itself means “a hundred healers” — the classical association is with healing and with things kept hidden.
