The 27 Nakshatras

The nakshatras are the 27 lunar mansions that divide the zodiac in Vedic astrology. Each one covers thirteen degrees and twenty minutes of sky, and carries its own ruling planet, god, and symbol. Your birth nakshatra is the star your Moon was in when you were born. It shapes your nature, your habits, and the timing of your life through the dasha system.
