Vedic Jyotish Series
This post is a part of effort to introduce Vedic Jyotish in simple terms for general public. Detailed information is available for Members in Explore Vedic Jyotish and Learn Jyotish sections.
In Vedic Jyotish, Nakshatras are lunar constellations or star clusters that form an integral part of the zodiac system. There are 27 Nakshatras in total, each spanning 13°20′ of the ecliptic. These Nakshatras play a significant role in astrological interpretations and are used to delineate various aspects of life and personality traits.
Each Nakshatra is associated with specific qualities, ruling deities, symbolisms, and attributes.
