Nakshatra is the term for a lunar mansion in Hindu astrology. The nakshatras are 27 divisions of the sky that make up successive nights in a lunar month and refer to the constellations or star groups in each division. The nakshatras play a key role in determining the timings of Hindu rituals.
There is a total of 27 Nakshatras in astrology, and hence the value of each star is 13⁰ 20’. In ancient times, Nakshatras are considered as a means of worshipping the divine. These 27 constellations are based on the movement of the Moon, which travels approximately 27.3 days around its orbit.
We categorize the Nakshatras into three groups: divine, human, and demonic. Gender and Varna (caste) divide people. They have assigned qualities, such as colour, deity, and rulership. When studying how a planet affects a sign, look at where it is in relation to Nakshatra and Pada.
