1. Nakshatra What are Nakshatras? Nakshatras are the asterism or constellation through which the moon passes. Some call this “the lunar mansion.” According to ancient myths, the Moon had married all the 27 daughters of King Dakshan, so that’s why there are 27 Nakshatras in the sky. But the Moon loved to spend time with only one of his wives –Rohini Nakshatra, and that’s why it is the exaltation point for the Moon. The other wives complained to their father (King Dakshan), and because the Moon refused to stop doing this, finally King Dakshan got angry and cursed the Moon, causing it to wane in size. But because this wasn’t good, all the Devas intervened and requested King Dakshan to withdraw the curse. After the Moon assured the King that he would visit all his wives, King Dakshan allowed the Moon to regain his strength for half a month. So that’s why the Moon transits all 27 Nakshatras in a month and why there is Amavasya (inauspicious no moon day) and Poornima (auspicious full moon day). The Rashi (Moon Sign) explains where the moon resides in your chart (i.e., which “Rashi” or “Sign” it resides in). Rashi Lord explains which planet is the Lord of that moon sign (meaning it has an influence over it). Within this sign resides the Birth Nakshatra or birth star you were born under. There are 27: 1.
