Nakshatra Meaning

The Ancient Hindu Sages divided the zodiac into 27 Nakshatras or lunar constellations. Each 
constellation covers 13 degrees, 20 minutes. The calculation of Nakshatras begin with 
Ashwini Nakshatra 0 degrees of Aries and ends on 30 degrees of Pisces covered by Revati 
Nakshatra. Abhijit is 28th Nakshatra. The use of Nakshatra is very important in Vedic 
astrology. The Vimshottari Dasha, a 120‐year‐long planetary cycle is based upon the birth 
Nakshatra. Each Nakshatra is divided in four sections called Padas. Nakshatras also define 
the characteristics of the planets placed in them. Knowing Janma Nakshatra is very 
important as per vedic astrology. Janmanakshatra is the Nakshatra in which the Moon was 
placed at the time of birth. The Moon travels through a Nakshatra in a day.

Nakshatra or Stars in Astrology

These celestial luminaries make all the difference in astrological calculations. Initially, the 
zodiac was grouped in 12 Rashis for convenience, however the ancient seers have farther 
subdivided the heavens into 27 Nakshatras or star constellations for the call of precession. 
These constellations or the Nakshatras emerged as one of the most important components 
in Astrology. Check today nakshatra

Vedic astrology identifies each constellation with a star. The 360 degree division of the sky is 
therefore further divided into 27 subdivision of 13.20 degrees identified with 27 stars. Each 

1
of these Nakshatras are farther subdivided into four Padas or quarters of 3 degrees and 20 
minutes. Therefore the first Rashi, Mesha, which has 30 degrees, contains the entire 4 Padas 
(13:20′) of the 1st star constellation Ashwini, the entire 4 Padas (13:20′) of the 2nd star 
constellation Bharani and the 1st Pada (3:20′) of the third star constellation Krittika. In this 
manner, each Rashi comprises of 9 Padas. Some schools of astrology also consider 28 
divisions with an additional star called Abhijit. However, for all practical purposes only 27 
stars starting from Ashwini are considered. (Ref: the chart).

These Nakshatras are broadly classified under the three heads of Deva (divine), Nara 
(human) and Rakshasa (Demonic). Farther, they are subdivided by their gender and Varna 
(cast), and are also ascribed with qualities such as colour, presiding deity, merits and ruler 
ship of body parts, planets etc.

While the effects of a particular planet placed in a Rashi is studied, the position of the planet 
in respect to the Nakshatra and its particular Pada is also born in mind. Indians through ages 
have been taking into account these Nakshatras for determining the auspicious dates and 
Muhurtha (moment) for any cultural or religious event including marriage. The role of 
Nakshatras and their respective Padas in predictive astrology is unique to Indian astrology.
