The zodiac in Vedic astrology is divided into 27 nakshatras or lunar mansions, each spanning 13°20' of the ecliptic. Your Janma Nakshatra (birth star) is the nakshatra the Moon occupied at your birth, and it reveals your instincts, temperament and destiny in far finer detail than the Moon sign alone. Each nakshatra has a ruling planet, a presiding deity, a symbol, and a set of attributes (gana, yoni, nadi) that drive Vedic marriage matching. Choose a nakshatra below to read its full profile.
