About nakshatras
The 27 Lunar Mansions
In Vedic astrology, the zodiac is divided into 27 Nakshatras (lunar mansions), each spanning 13°20' of the sidereal sky. The Moon's position at the moment of your birth determines your Janma Nakshatra: one of the most precise and personal indicators in your horoscope.
Each nakshatra has a presiding deity, a ruling planet, an animal symbol, a gana (nature: Deva, Manushya or Rakshasa), and a nadi energy. Each nakshatra is further divided into 4 Padas (quarters) of 3°20' each, producing 108 unique positions: one for each bead on the japa mala.
