Understanding Today’s Nakshatra
The Moon travels through 27 nakshatras (lunar mansions) each month, spending roughly a day in each. The nakshatra of the moment colours the day’s energy: some, like Rohini and Hasta, favour creative work; others, like Moola, suit introspection. Your birth nakshatra (Janma Nakshatra) defines your mental nature and is the basis of kundali matching, naming syllables and muhurat selection. Check today’s nakshatra with its pada, ruling deity and planetary lord to choose the right moment for your plans.
