Chapter 11: Nakshatra / Constellation

27 Nakshatra / Constellation

We have seen there are 12 zodiac signs and each zodiac sign is divided into 30 degrees. Likewise,
we have 27 Nakshatra (constellation) which are equally divided into 13 degrees 20 minutes. In this
way within each zodiac sign, there are constellations. Each Nakshatra has a division of 13 degrees
20 minutes starting from zero degrees Aries and ending 30 degrees Pisces.

The Nakshatra has a reference in Rig Veda. Vedas are old Hindu scriptures written in Sanskrit by

Hindu sages. There is no exact time when these Vedas have been written but the expected time is

are derived from the xed stars and the mythology behind these portions in the sky. They are rich
in meaning and have ruling deities that reveal the stories or myths that bring to life the symbology
referred to in our own lives.

The moon moves approximately 13 degrees 20 minutes each day and stays in one Nakshatra each
day that’s why Nakshatra’s are referred to as a lunar mansion. In any horoscope, any planet the
Nakshatra they are placed in provides deep information related to that house (life events) and also
the house that planets rules.

The concept of Nakshatras is used in Vedic Astrology for accurate predictions and astrological
analysis. Janamanakshtra is the Nakshatra in which the Natal Moon is placed at the time of birth.
Janamnakstra gives an insight into one’s thinking patterns, characteristics of the person and
calculating the Dasha period.

A person’s natal Moon in a Nakshatra will give them a particular power that will give birth to
situations, attitudes, and circumstances. The Moon, being mind and consciousness, is so important
in determining the attitude and general characteristics of a person as well as their strength and
weaknesses.

As per our Hindu Mythology, Moon had married all the 27 daughters of King Daksha, who are the
27 nakshatras in the sky. But, Moon loved to spend time with only one his beloved queen Rohini
Nakshatra, which is also the exaltation point for Moon. Other wives (Nakshatras) complained to
their father (King Dakshan), repeatedly requested to Moon by King was unable to change Moon’s
nature, nally, King Dakshan got angry and cursed Moon, causing it to wane in size. Moon started ₹

diminishing in size. Since the consequences of this were not good, all Devas intervened and
$
requested King Dakshan to withdraw the curse. King was given assurance that Moon will visit all
his wives since the curse cannot be revoked completely, King Dakshan said Moon will regain his
strength for half a month, that is the reason Moon transits all 27 nakshatras in a month, completing
the zodiac orbit causing Amavasya and Poornima by waxing and waning in size.
