Nakshatra (Constellations) & Zodiac
The Nakshatras are the fixed stars, asterisms or ‘lunar mansions’ in the zodiac. The term “Nakshatra” is a combination of two words – ‘Naks’ meaning sky and ‘Shetra” meaning region/area. Nakshatras (or Constellations) are ruled by the moon which is associated with our intellect, intuition, emotions & mind. In Vedic astrology, the zodiac of 360 degree has twelve rashis (signs) with 30-degree sections and is marked by 27 constellations or Nakshatras with 13.2 degree each. Both, signs and constellations start from the same point viz. the zero degree of the zodiac (Aries) and the first point of Ashwini. Moon shifts the houses approx. 2.3 days, means in 28 days all the signs in zodiac. Each sign is named after some animal. Each Nakshatra has resemblance to some shape (animal or others). They are assigned many different characteristics that include ruling planets, gender, temperament, symbols, deities, animal symbols and also syllables. Characteristics of Nakshatras:
