Nakshatras

In Vedic Astrology, we have 28 Lunar Mansions or Asterisms. So while the Sun has 12 Zodiac Signs, the Moon has 28 Lunar Mansions. These are also called Nakshatras. Without the Nakshatras, the Zodiac Signs contain no life. The 12 Zodiac Signs are the constellations of the sky divided into 12 equal sections or Houses. However, the Nakshatras contain stars. Stars hold the same elements in our physical body. They are the basis for life. Understanding the Nakshatras helps us better understand the functioning of the Zodiac Signs. Below, I will list brief descriptions of the 28 Nakshatras. Note that one of these Nakshatras is strictly used for ceremonial purposes. You can find longer explanations in my YouTube Videos and Articles.
