Birth Cycle in Astrology.

South Node Ketu represent our past Karmas.We take birth because of a karmic bondage. 

Ketu also represent eternal truth i.e. enlightenment.

To achieve this eternal truth, one has to pass through the repetitive cycle of birth, death and re-birth.(1/9)
Hence Ketu gets the 1st Nakshatra of each Fire sign - To start the cycle.

Next step is to attain physical existence through successful fusion of sperm & egg, which is represented by #Venus
therefore Venus rules the 2nd Nakshatra of all Fire signs (2/9)
After the fertilization, Soul attaches itself to the fertilized egg. #Sun is the Significator of Soul. 

Hence lordship of the 3rd Nakshatra of all fire sign (i.e. Krittika) is given to Sun from where we come into the material world in Earth Sign Nakshatras.(3/9)
After the Soul, Mind is attached to the body for senses.

Mind represented by #Moon, comes next into existence, therefore ruler of the 4th Nakshatra (in Earth signs) is Moon.

After the mind is created then energy is needed for action, hence comes #Mars after Moon (4/9)
Formation of body and energy is governed by #Mars. Hence it rules of the 5th Nakshatra in this cycle (i.e. Mrigashirsha) it connects Earth to Air element.

The next step from here is to focus on all the unfulfilled desires and Karma through the help of North Node #Rahu
(5/9)
So Rahu gets the rulership of 6th Nakshatra in life cycle. It gets all 3 Nakshatra in Air signs.

Rahu shows us our impurities which we need to work on:

Anger, Jealousy, Greed, Lust, Laziness, Fears, Attachments, Arrogance.

So next in this life cycle comes #Jupiter

(6/9)
#Jupiter with it's wisdom helps us understand what we need to do to get out of this cycle of rebirths.

Self realization requires Jupiter (Guru) hence it gets the 7th Nakshatra in line to connect Air Sign to Water sign for purification process.

(8/9)
Then in this life cycle comes Saturn's turn for the purification of our Karma through the Holy water.

Hence #Saturn gets the 8th Nakshatra of the life cycle and all it's 3 lunar mansions are in water signs.

Post this purification process we achive supreme intelligence.

(8/9)
Intelligence falls under the jurisdiction of Mercury, therefore it rules the final 9th Nakshatra of the all 3 cycles. All it's Nakshatras are in Water Sign.

There are 27 Nakshatras.

These 27 are divided between 9 planets and are indicating 3 rounds of life cycle.
1st Stage - Aries to Cancer
2nd Stage - Leo to Scorpio
3rd Stage - Sagittarius to Pisces

Each stage starts with Fire & ends with Water.

Aries to Cancer - Childhood
Leo to Scorpio - Middle Age
Sagittarius to Pisces - Maturity

Planetary period (Dasha) is also dereived from this.
