What is Janma Nakshatra?

Janma Nakshatra is the 27-fold lunar mansion the Moon occupied at your exact moment of birth. It is calculated from the Moon's sidereal longitude using a verified ephemeris and a standard ayanamsa.

Nakshatra क्या है?

जन्म नक्षत्र वह 27 भागों में बंधा चंद्रमा है जो आपके जन्म के ठीक समय पर स्थित था। यह स्विस एफेमेरिस और लाहिरी अयनांश से गणना की जाती है।

Why is exact birth time important?

The Moon moves roughly 12–13 degrees per day, crossing Nakshatra and Pada boundaries about every 25 hours. Exact birth time, date, and place are needed for an accurate result.

How is this different from Rashi?

Rashi (Moon sign) divides the zodiac into 12 signs of 30 degrees. Nakshatra divides the same zodiac into 27 lunar mansions of 13°20′ each, with four Padas per Nakshatra.
