Nakshatra Reading

A Nakshatra or a Constellation is a part of the Zodiac covering 13 degrees and 20 minutes compared to the even 30 degrees that a Zodiac sign takes up. The original Vedic Astrology reading system was totally Nakshatra based and the changes come in with influences from Greece & the middle East over the centuries.

Vedic Astrology gives a lot of emphasis on the Nakshatra where Moon is situated, although the Nakshatra placements of all 9 planets is very important. The Nakshatra system works on the system of ownership by one planet & the 4 step break of 3 degree & 20 minuteas each of 4 sub-lords of a Nakshatra. Due to this the effects are extremely precise and sometimes give an amazing insight to the real effects & predictions of a planet.

Each planet in your horoscope therefore shapes your personality, instincts and attitude, as well as the connections and relationships you make in life.

For instance, the Nakshatra is a great tool to find out the spouse/partner, business partners, friends as well as foes that you will have in life. It is but a fact that we form friendships and connections with usually the same class of Nakshatras. Likewise there are certain Nakshatras and name letters with whom you will feel very challenged and difficult to exist with.

The Nakshatra position is also a boon when interpreting the horoscope of identical twins & events that happen in quick succession as it is a great differentiator for people born under the same Moon sign, Ascendant (lagna) and planetary position.

How does a Nakshatra Reading work?

• Each planet, Moon Sign & your Ascendant is placed in a Nakshatra which has unique and, many times, different and defining roles compared to what the zodiac placement of the planets appears to be.
• A Nakshatra span is 13.20 degrees, compared to 30 degrees in a Zodiac sign, and the influencing planets are two (main lord & sub-lord) compared to a single planet portfolio under the Zodiac reading.
• The precision and effects of a planet are connected by its ownership, relationships as well as sub & main lordship of a Nakshatra. This leads to answers that sometimes elude astrologers when they analyse birthcharts based simply on Zodiac signs.
