[Guest guest]

Moon travels across the sky and around the earth through this pathway. Each constellation covers 13 degrees, 20 minutes. The concept of Nakshatra is exclusive only to Vedic astrology and is known to give much more accurate results.

 

Nakshatras are the backbone of astrology and were taken into account even before Sign system was considered. Nakshatras are considered throughout the astrological analysis. They also define characteristics and influence of the planets placed in them. Janmanakshatra is the Nakshatra in which the moon is placed at the time of birth. It plays a major role in shaping our thinking patterns, inherent capabilities and destiny. Because of being the pathway of Moon, Nakshatras are also known as lunar mansions.

 

Moon travels through one Nakshatra in a day. Each Nakshatra is divided in four sections called Padas or charan. Consideration of Pada is also very important during chart analysis as each Pada of Nakshatra gives a different result. Each zodiac covers nine Padas in total.
