updated Mar 14, 2023, 06:33 AM | 👤 Admin

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
10. Magha
11. Purva Phalguni
12. Uttara Phalguni
13. Hasta
14. Chitra
15. Swati
16. Vishaka
17. Anurada
18. Jyeshta
19. Mula
20. Purva Ashadha
21. Uttara Ashadha
22. Shravana
23. Dhanishta
24. Shatabhishak
25. Purva Bhadrapada
26. Uttara Bhadrapada
27. Revati
