Nakshatra Calculator
In Vedic astrology, the Moon's position at your birth determines your Nakshatra: the lunar mansion that reveals your emotional nature, your soul's orientation, and the qualities that make you distinctly yourself. Enter your date of birth to discover yours.
Note: This calculator uses the Moon's position on your birth date. For the most precise result, a full Vedic birth chart calculation using your exact birth time and location is recommended.
27 Nakshatras — A Complete Lunar Zodiac
The 27 nakshatras divide the 360-degree sky into equal segments of 13°20' each — corresponding to the approximately 27-day cycle of the Moon's orbit around the Earth. Each nakshatra is associated with a specific star or star cluster, a presiding deity, a ruling planet, and a distinct quality of experience. Together, the 27 nakshatras form one of the most detailed maps of human nature available in any astrological tradition.
This calculator uses a simplified version of the lunar longitude calculation, accurate for most birth dates between 1900 and 2100. For the most precise Nakshatra determination — particularly when the Moon is near the boundary between two nakshatras — a complete Vedic birth chart calculation using your exact time and location of birth is recommended.
