NR · The nakshatra remedy

NR-03: The dates are computed, not left to the reader

The API works out the dates for the remedy. These are days when the Moon returns to the birth nakshatra on the weekday ruled by that nakshatra's planet. Four nakshatras are ruled by Rahu or Ketu, which rule no weekday, and the response says so.

The rule in John Doe's chart

Applies

John Doe's Moon is in Mrigashira, so his nakshatra remedy honors the deity of Mrigashira. It does not depend on which planet is strong.
