Question 1

What is a Nakshatra?

Accepted Answer

A Nakshatra (birth star) is one of 27 lunar mansions in Vedic astrology. Your Janma Nakshatra is determined by the position of the Moon at your birth time. It forms the foundation of many Vedic predictions.

Question 2

How is Nakshatra prediction different from Rashifal?

Accepted Answer

Rashifal is based on your Moon sign (Rashi — 12 signs), while Nakshatra prediction is based on your birth star (27 Nakshatras). Nakshatra-based predictions are more specific and precise as each Nakshatra covers only 13°20′ of the zodiac.

Question 3

How do I find my Nakshatra?

Accepted Answer

Your Nakshatra is determined by your Moon's position at birth. You can find it using your birth date, time and place. Use our free Birth Chart calculator or check the Shani Sadesati calculator which identifies your Nakshatra automatically.
