About Nakshatra Finder
Free, accurate Vedic astrology tools for everyday questions: what is my Nakshatra, is today a good day, and do our horoscopes match?
Who We Are
Nakshatra Finder is an independent website based in India. It started in 2025 with a single tool, a Nakshatra calculator that tells you your birth star from your date of birth, and has grown into a small set of free tools that people in India and abroad use to check their Nakshatra, make a Kundli, match horoscopes for marriage and look up the day's Panchang.
Our aim is simple: give people the same answers they would get from a traditional panchang or a family astrologer, quickly, clearly and without asking them to sign up.
Who Writes and Reviews Our Content
Vishal Sharma, Astrologer and editor

Every guide on this site is written or reviewed by Vishal Sharma before it is published, and reference data is checked against standard traditional tables. You can also find Vishal Sharma on this profile.

How Our Calculations Work
Every result on this site starts from real astronomical positions, not from tables or guesswork:
- Planetary positions are computed for your exact date, time and coordinates using a high-precision astronomical ephemeris.
- We convert them to the sidereal zodiac with the Lahiri (Chitrapaksha) ayanamsha, the standard adopted by the Government of India's Rashtriya Panchang.
- Nakshatra, pada, tithi, yoga and karana follow the standard divisions of the zodiac (13°20′, 3°20′, 12°, 13°20′ and 6°).
- Rahu Kalam and other daily periods use local sunrise and sunset for your city.
- Attributes such as Gana, Nadi, Yoni and name syllables follow the traditional Avakahada Chakra, and Kundli matching uses the classical Ashtakoot tables.
Our Editorial Standards
Astrology articles online often repeat each other's mistakes. We try to do better:
- Reference data, such as the Nadi or Gana of each Nakshatra, is checked against standard traditional tables before it is published.
- When traditions differ (for example North and South Indian rules for Mangal Dosha), we say so instead of presenting one view as the only truth.
- We avoid fear-based language. No Nakshatra or dosha is presented as a curse.
- We correct errors as soon as we find them. If you spot one, please tell us.
A Note on Astrology
Vedic astrology (Jyotisha) is a traditional system of guidance that many families rely on for timing and reflection. Our tools are meant for that purpose. They are not a substitute for medical, legal, financial or psychological advice. Please read our disclaimer.
