Find your Nakshatra
Enter your date of birth. We map the Moon's approximate position to one of 27 nakshatras — for exact pada and Dasha, add birth time in your profile later.
What is a Nakshatra?
Nakshatra means "that which never decays" — in Jyotish it is the Moon's mansion among 27 divisions of the ecliptic. Your Janma Nakshatra (birth star) is a stable anchor for personality, compatibility, naming, and timing. Each of the 27 has a ruling graha, deity, and symbol; the full birth chart refines how that star expresses in your life.
Use the calculator below to find your nakshatra from your date of birth, then browse the complete table to explore each mansion's meaning, ruling planet, and deity.
