Find Your Nakshatra
In Vedic astrology, your birth nakshatra is determined by the position of the Moon at the moment you were born. Enter your date of birth below to discover yours.
If you don't know your birth time, we'll use noon — the nakshatra is the same for most of the day.
what is a nakshatra?
The 27 nakshatras are the lunar mansions of Vedic astrology — the 27 segments of the sky through which the Moon passes over its monthly cycle.
Unlike the Western Sun sign (which changes monthly), your nakshatra is based on the Moon — the fastest-moving planet, and the one most deeply linked to the mind, emotions, and instinctive self.
Each nakshatra has a presiding deity, a symbol, and a core psychological pattern. Knowing yours is the entry point to understanding your Vedic chart.
