Understanding Nakshatras
Nakshatras, also known as lunar mansions or birth stars, are one of the most important concepts in Vedic astrology. The 27 Nakshatras divide the 360-degree zodiac into segments of approximately 13°20' each, creating a more precise system than the 12 zodiac signs alone.
Each Nakshatra has its own ruling deity, planetary ruler, symbols, and unique characteristics that influence personality, behavior, and life events. Your birth Nakshatra is determined by the Moon's position at the moment of your birth and reveals your emotional nature, instincts, and karmic patterns.
The Nakshatra system is used extensively in Vedic astrology for timing (Muhurat), compatibility matching (Nakshatra Porutham), and understanding one's inherent nature and life purpose. It provides deeper insights than Sun or Moon signs alone.
