What are the 27 Nakshatras?
The 27 Nakshatras are the lunar mansions in Vedic astrology, each spanning 13°20' of the zodiac. They form the backbone of Vedic astrology and are used for determining personality traits, compatibility (Kundli matching), muhurat (auspicious timing), and dasha periods.
Each nakshatra is further divided into 4 padas (quarters) of 3°20' each, giving a total of 108 padas across the zodiac. Your birth nakshatra is determined by the Moon's position at the time of birth.
Why is Nakshatra Important?
Your birth nakshatra determines your Vimshottari Dasha sequence — the planetary period system that governs the timing of events in your life. It's also the primary factor in nakshatra compatibility for marriage matching.
The nakshatra is also linked to your Moon Sign — each sign contains 2.25 nakshatras. Explore all 27 nakshatras to learn about their mythology, personality traits, and compatibility.
