What your birth star reveals

Each of the 27 Nakshatras has a ruling planet, a symbol and a temperament, and is divided into four padas. Your birth star colours the way your Moon sign expresses itself, and its ruling planet sets the very first period of your Vimshottari Dasha — so it quietly shapes the timing of your life's themes.

Use your Nakshatra further

Your birth star is part of your Free Kundli. From here you can find your Lagna, check your current Dasha, or match two charts for marriage.

Frequently asked questions

What is a Nakshatra (birth star)?

A Nakshatra is one of the 27 lunar mansions the Moon travels through. Your janma nakshatra, or birth star, is the one the Moon occupied at your birth. It refines your Moon sign and carries its own ruling planet, nature and symbolism.

How do I find my Nakshatra by date of birth?

Enter your date, time and place of birth. The Moon moves quickly, so an accurate birth time gives the most reliable Nakshatra and pada (the quarter of the star). The calculator then shows your birth star and its ruling planet.

Why does the Nakshatra matter?

The birth star sets the starting point of your Vimshottari Dasha, the Vedic system of planetary periods, and is used in name selection, compatibility (Nakshatra matching) and muhurat. It is one of the most practical points in the whole chart.

Is the Nakshatra calculator free?

Yes. Your Nakshatra, pada, chart and a preview of every section are free with no sign-up. A full written reading is optional at ₹49 (launch offer, regular ₹149).
