Your nakshatra, also called your Janma Nakshatra or birth star, is the one of 27 lunar mansions that the Moon was passing through at the moment you were born. To find it you need three things: your date of birth, your time of birth and your place of birth. The quickest way is to enter them in a Nakshatra calculator<\/a>, which gives your nakshatra, its pada (quarter), your Moon sign and the nakshatra lord in a few seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide shows you how to find your nakshatra in four ways, walks through a manual calculation step by step, gives the full table of nakshatra degrees and lords, and explains why knowing only the date of birth is usually not enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
