Wisdom of the Stars

Nakshatras — also called lunar mansions or birth stars — are the 27 divisions of the sky used in Vedic astrology. Each nakshatra spans exactly 13 degrees and 20 minutes of the ecliptic. The Moon passes through all 27 nakshatras in approximately one month. While your Sun sign (rashi) gives a broad personality overview, your Moon's nakshatra at birth reveals your emotional nature, instinctive patterns, and karmic journey with remarkable depth and precision.

Each of the 27 nakshatras is presided over by a Vedic deity and ruled by one of 9 planets. Understanding your nakshatra helps with self-awareness, relationships, career choices, auspicious timing, and selecting effective spiritual practices and remedies.
