What is your Janma Nakshatra?
The 27 nakshatras are the lunar mansions of Vedic astrology, each spanning 13°20′ of the zodiac and divided into four padas of 3°20′. Your Janma Nakshatra (birth star) is the nakshatra the Moon occupied when you were born, and its pada refines it further.
The birth nakshatra also sets the starting point of your Vimshottari Dasha and is used in Kundli Milan, so it is one of the most important details in a Kundli.
Frequently asked questions
How many nakshatras are there?

What is a pada?
A quarter of a nakshatra, 3°20′ wide. Each pada also corresponds to a Navamsa sign.
Why does the nakshatra matter for the Dasha?
The nakshatra the Moon occupied at birth determines which planet's Vimshottari Dasha you begin life in and how much of it remained.
