FAQ
Questions about the nakshatra calculator
How does the nakshatra calculator work?
The calculator uses your birth date, time and location to determine the Moon's precise position (Lahiri ayanamsa). The 13°20' segment the Moon falls in is your birth nakshatra.
Is an exact birth time necessary?
Yes. The Moon spends roughly 24 hours in each nakshatra, so a difference of even a few hours can change the nakshatra or pada.
How do I find out "what is my nakshatra"?
Enter your birth date, time and place above and press "Calculate nakshatra". Your birth nakshatra, pada, lord, gana and nadi appear instantly.
