Detailed Nakshatra Reading

Nakshatras or Constellations were the original Vedic tool of measure for planetary placements before the Zodiac signs (Aries to Pisces) came into usage. Our research team has taken upon itself to reacquaint our members with this highly skilled art of Nakshatra based readings. The entire spread of the Zodiac is divided into 27 Nakshatras (28 if we count Abhijit Nakshatra) unlike the Zodiac signs that divides it into 12 parts making it less precise than the Nakshatra system.

How Does the Nakshatra based Astrology work?

• Each Nakshatra span is just 13.20 degrees compared to 30 degrees in a sign.
• Further each Nakshatra is divided into 4 steps called Padas and they further have a sub lord of each Pada making each Nakshatra position of a planet governed by the main lord & the sub-lord making the relationship & effects of the Planets triangular and the interpretation more nuanced.
• This makes a planet position change 9 times compared to a single sign ownership under the Zodiac sign system.
• The Nakshatra position is a boon when interpreting horoscope of identical twins & events that happen at quick succession.
• Further it is a great differentiator for people born under the same Moon sign, Ascendant or planetary position.
