Nakshatras

November 05, 2015

What is a Nakshatra?

The Moon rotates and completes its encircling of the Earth in 27.3 days. The cluster of stars the Moon crosses in a month is called a Nakshatra. There are 27 such clusters or nakshatras. So the Moon is always in some nakshatra at any given time. Each zodiac sign has about 2.25 nakshatras. Hence, each nakshatra is further divided into 4 phases. First phase is the rise, while the 4th phase is the decline.  This minute calcuation of a given nakshatra when a child is born influences the analysis of one's nature and future in life.

The groupings of the nakshatras are as follows:

Dev-gana

Manushya-gana

Rakshas-gana

Ashwani
Bhrani
Krittika
Mrigashirsha
Rohini
Ashlesha
Punarvasu
Purva Phalguni
Magha
Pushya
Purva Shadha
Chitra
Hasta
Uttara Phalguni
Vishakha
Swati
Uttara Ashadha
Jyeshtha
Anuradha
Purva Bhadrapada
Mula
Sravana
Uttara Bhadrapada
Dhanishtha
Revati
Ardra
Shatabhisha 

Apart from all of the above, there is another nakshatra that is made of the last 15 degrees of uttar bhadrapada and first 4 degrees of Sravana nakshatra, which is called Abhijit. This is a very rare nakshatra.

Below we give you the planetary lord, some prominent traits, the tree/plant that you should care for if you were born in the given nakshtra or if you have any illness associated with the body part that the given nakshatra influences.
