Your Nakshatra: The Birth Star Beneath Your Sign
Most people know their rashi (moon sign), but fewer know their nakshatra — the lunar mansion the Moon occupied at birth. In Vedic astrology, this birth star is one of the most personal points in the chart.
Twenty-seven mansions
The zodiac is divided into twenty-seven nakshatras, from Ashwini to Revati, each with its own ruling planet, symbol and temperament. Your janma nakshatra — the one your Moon falls in — colours your nature, instincts and emotional life.
Why it matters in practice
The nakshatra is the foundation of the Vimshottari Dasha system, plays a central role in kundli matching, and guides the selection of an auspicious muhurat. It is detail the sun sign simply cannot offer.
Your sign is the chapter; your nakshatra is the sentence that gives it meaning.
