The relevant shlokam from vaalmiki raamaayaNam is the basis: thathaha cha dvAdashE mAsE chaitrE nAvamikE thithou nakshatrE~dithi daivatye... Sri RAma was born on the day of navami in the month of Chaitra under the auspices of punarvasu nakshatram (reference to Aditi above as the presiding deity of punarvasu). Interesting point to note above: Sri Rama was born after a pregnancy term of twelve months (or six two-month seasons).
