Category: Nakshatras

Nakshatras are the 27 lunar constellations or star clusters used in Vedic astrology to map the moon’s journey through the sky. While Western astrology focuses on the 12 sun signs, Vedic astrology dives deeper  using the Nakshatras as the foundation for understanding personality, emotions, karmic patterns, and spiritual tendencies.

Each Nakshatra spans 13°20′ of the zodiac and holds unique energies, ruled by specific deities and planets. The moon spends approximately one day in each Nakshatra, making them crucial for interpreting birth charts, muhurta (timing), and remedies.

Nakshatras are like cosmic blueprints they tell who you are at your core, how you think, feel, relate, and grow. They add rich layers of meaning to your rashi (zodiac sign) and lagna (ascendant).
