What is Nakshatram?

Nakshatram is the lunar mansion or star constellation where the Moon currently resides. There are 27 Nakshatrams, each spanning about 13°20′ of the ecliptic; the Moon passes through roughly one per day. Each has its own Tamil mantra, romanized below (a full Tamil-script rendering is planned as a future update).

Why Nakshatram Matters

Your birth Nakshatram (where the Moon was when you were born) is your “birth star” and is central to compatibility matching, Dasha (planetary period) remedies, and monthly Janma Nakshatram observances – each time the Moon returns to your birth Nakshatram (roughly every 27 days), that day is considered especially significant for you personally.
