    KEY TO THE 27 NAKSHATRAS – VEDIC BIRTH STARS

    Want to know your Vedic Birth Star and what it means?


    Here’s a simple reference tool to help you discover the name of your Birth Star -- your Nakshatra -- and
    its symbol.

    WHAT IS A NAKSHATRA?

    Superimposed over the 12 signs of the Zodiac,


    are 27 star constellations that hold great
    symbolic meaning for Vedic Astrology.

    These 27 sections of the sky -- the Nakshatras --


    comprise the Nakshatra Wheel. The star
    constellations within and close by these sections
    are the Nakshatras.

    In Indian mythology, the Nakshatras symbolize


    the Moon’s 27 wives – the lunar shaktis
    (feminine energies).

    Since the Moon circles around the earth (and


    the Nakshatra Wheel) about once every 27
    days, the moon transits a different Nakshatra
    each day.

    Each of the 27 Nakshatras has distinct


    characteristics, special talents, and is ruled by
    the power of a particular Vedic deity. NAKSHATRA WHEEL -- 27 NAKSHATRAS OVER THE 12 ZODIAC SIGNS

    standardize and create equal divisions it is not commonly used.)

    The Nakshatras are just one small branch of a vast tree of


    knowledge within Vedic Astrology.
