🌙 What is a Nakshatra?In Vedic (Jyotisha) astrology,
Nakshatras are the Moon’s 27 lunar mansions—fixed star clusters the Moon crosses roughly every 24 hours. They offer precise insight into emotional patterns, timing, and inner growth.
- Anchored to the stars: Nakshatras don’t shift with the seasons. Each is tied to a stable star group in the sidereal zodiac
- Mind mapping: Since the Moon rules the mind, your Janma Nakshatra (birth Moon) reveals your emotional blueprint, memory, and instincts
- Built-in timekeepers: Nakshatras drive the 120-year Vimshottari Dasa system, support Muhurta (timing decisions), and guide compatibility through Porutham
Why Nakshatras Matter?- Life timing: Your birth Nakshatra sets a planetary sequence that defines when major themes unfold
- Emotional detail: They show how you relate, process emotions, handle pressure, and move through change
- Daily clarity: Tracking the Moon's transit through Nakshatras refines your rituals, schedules, and decision-making
