Nakshatra Calculator by Date of Birth
Your birth star and pada, from the Moon's exact position
Your nakshatra, or birth star, is the lunar mansion the Moon occupied when you were born. There are 27 of them, each split into four padas. This tool finds yours from the Moon's exact sidereal position, along with its ruling planet, which is what sets your Vimshottari dasha sequence.
Birth time matters here. The Moon moves through roughly one nakshatra a day, so if you are near a boundary an unknown time can shift the result. Add your time of birth for the most reliable answer.
Enter birth details on the left and your result will appear here. No sign-up needed.
