Your Nakshatra
The Vedic Lunar Mansion That Holds Your Soul’s Most Precise Blueprint
In Vedic astrology, the zodiac is divided not just into 12 signs but into 27 Nakshatras — lunar mansions of 13°20′ each. Your Moon’s Nakshatra (the lunar mansion it occupied at your birth) is considered more psychologically and spiritually revealing than your Sun sign or even your Vedic Moon sign alone.
The Nakshatras are ancient — mentioned in the Rig Veda over 4,000 years ago. Each has a ruling deity, a symbol, a ruling planet, and a specific soul theme. Understanding yours is like reading a letter written to your soul before you incarnated.
