The 27 Nakshatras: Complete Guide to Vedic Lunar Mansions
In Vedic astrology, the sky is divided into 27 Nakshatras — lunar mansions, each spanning exactly 13 degrees and 20 minutes of the zodiac. While Western astrology divides the sky into 12 sun signs, Jyotish (Vedic astrology) tracks the Moon's journey through these 27 distinct constellations.
Your birth Nakshatra (janma nakshatra) is determined by the Moon's position at the exact moment of your birth. It reveals your instinctive nature, emotional patterns, and the deep karmic blueprint you carry — information your sun sign cannot provide.
Each Nakshatra has a ruling planet, a presiding deity, a symbol, and a unique set of qualities that create a precise portrait of personality and destiny.
