Nakshatra basics

What is a nakshatra?

A nakshatra is one of the 27 'lunar mansions' the Moon passes through in Vedic astrology. Your birth (janma) nakshatra — where the Moon sat at birth — is a core key to your personality and your Vimshottari dasha timeline.

How do I find my nakshatra?

Your nakshatra is set by the Moon's exact position at birth, so you need your birth date, time and place. The NORO app computes it free from a real ephemeris.
