Nakshatra
Your Janma Nakshatra — the Moon's birth star
The Janma Nakshatra is the lunar mansion the Moon occupies at the moment of birth. In Vedic tradition, it is one of the most significant indicators in a kundli — central to naming traditions, dasha calculations, and matrimonial compatibility in Mithila practice.
What this tool will offer
Enter your name, date of birth, birth time, and place of birth. The tool computes the Moon's sidereal longitude and identifies which of the 27 Nakshatras it falls in, along with the Pada (1–4) within that Nakshatra.
See your Nakshatra's ruling planet (lord), its characteristics in the Vedic tradition, and how it is positioned relative to other Nakshatras in Tara compatibility calculations.
Understand how your Nakshatra is used in the Tara Koota of Kundli Match — how the Janma Nakshatras of two people are counted from each other to assess their Tara relationship.
See the name-syllables (Aksharas) traditionally associated with your Nakshatra and Pada — used in the baby name tradition and in personal identification within family practice.
Understand the Nakshatra's Gana (Deva, Manushya, or Rakshasa) — one of the inputs to Gana Koota in Ashtakoota matching.
