Frequently asked questions
A nakshatra is one of the 27 lunar mansions — 13°20′ divisions of the zodiac based on the Moon's daily journey. The mansion the Moon occupied at your birth is your Janma Nakshatra, one of the most personal points in the chart, and it sets the start of your dasha timeline.
It needs your birth date, exact time and place, because it depends on the Moon's precise position. The free Discover Yourself tool calculates it in a minute; a full reading then interprets it within your whole chart.
None — each of the 27 carries its own gifts and its own lessons, and the classics assign every one a deity, symbol and purpose. What matters is how your nakshatra works with the rest of your chart, which is an individual question.
