Find your birth star and Pada from real planetary data
Beyond a name, your Nakshatra sets the starting point of your Vimshottari Dasha — the sequence of planetary periods that runs your entire life's timing in Vedic astrology. It's also used in Ashtakoota Kundali matching for marriage compatibility, and in choosing auspicious Muhurat timing.
One of 27 lunar mansions the Moon passes through, each spanning 13°20' of the zodiac. Your birth Nakshatra determines your Vimshottari Dasha sequence.
Each Nakshatra divides into 4 Padas of 3°20' each, refining your placement further.
