Born with the Moon in Bharani, your Vimshottari dasha begins with Venus, whose full period is 20 years. How much of it is left at birth depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra.
In Kundli matching
Gana, yoni and nadi come from the nakshatra and count for 6, 4 and 8 of the 36 points in Ashtakoota matching. The same nadi for both partners is the one traditionally avoided.
Name letters follow the traditional Avakahada chakra. Spellings of a few letters vary between regions.
