Significance and importance of Nakshatras in Vedic astrology (वैदिक ज्योतिष में नक्षत्रों की विशेषता और महत्व?)

Vedic astrology is completely based on planets and constellations (Nakshatra). Nakshatra is the term for a lunar mansion in Hindu astrology and Indian astronomy. A nakshatra is one of the 27 (sometimes 28) sectors along the ecliptic. Their names are related to a prominent star or nakshatra in or near the respective regions.
A list of nakshatras is found for the first time in the Vedanga Jyotisha, a text dating to the last centuries BCE. The nakshatra system predates the influence of Hellenistic astrology on the Vedic tradition, which became prevalent from about the 2nd century CE.

The names of the 27 Nakshatras are as follows:
1. Ashwini
2. Bharani
3. Krittika
4. Rohini
5. Mrigashira
6. Ardra
7. Punarvasu
8. Pushya
9. Ashlesha

Asubh nakshatra
No auspicious work should ever be done in an inauspicious nakshatra. It always gives bad results or hinders functioning. The Nakshatras that come under this are- Bharani, Kritika, Magha and Ashlesha. These Nakshatras are generally considered suitable for large and destructive operations such as demolishing a building, dispossessing, setting fire, blasting to cut a mountain or conducting any military or nuclear test etc. But for a common man or Jatak these four nakshatras are considered very dangerous and harmful.
