Nakshatras in Vedic Astrology

The Ancient Sages divided the zodiac(apart from twelve signs) into 27 Nakshatras or constellations of 13.20 degrees each. A Nakshatra is
also called as lunar mansion or constellation. Its reference is found in the ancient Vedic scriptures. As per the Hindu mythology, all the
twenty seven Nakshatras are the daughters of king Daksha and Moon is married to all of them and the Moon spends approximately one
day each in one constellation and thus lunar month is of approximately of 27 days equal to the numbers of Nakshatras.
Nakshatras are classified as per several attributes like its owner, deity, sex, caste, species etc. The Nakshatra, in which ones Moon is
placed at the time of birth, is called Janma Nakshatra or the birth star. These Nakshatras are further subdivided into four quarters known
as Pada, each spanning 3.20 degrees, know as Navamsa. The placement of planets in these padas or subdivisions is studied for finer
predictions. Each zodiac sign covers nine Padas in total. Thus we can see that Nakshatras are used for various purposes and one of its
major uses is to determine starting point of a dasha or planetary period or cycles that divide the time in major periods and sub periods
and to choosing a muhurtha or auspicious time for any important activity.
As per with their qualitative features, 27 constellations are divided into following categories and are favorable muhurtha
for:
(a) Sthira or Fixed,
(b) Chara or Movable,
(c) Ugra or Fierce,
(d) Kshipra or Swift,
(e) Mridu or Tender,
(f) Tikshna or sharp,
(g) Misra or Mixed
The Sthira or Fixed nakshatras are Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttara Ashadha, and Uttara Bhadrapada. These constellations are
favorable for any work of fixed, stability and long term purpose like planting trees, purchasing property, laying the foundations for
buildings, construction of home, factory etc. This will be more auspicious if these nakshatras happen to fall on Sunday.
The Chara or Movable nakshatras are Punarvasu, Swati, Shravana, Dhanishtha, and Shatabhisha. These constellations are
favorable for buying automobiles, vehicles, gardening, going on journey and travel. This will be more auspicious if these nakshatras
happen to fall on Monday.
The Ugra or Fierce nakshatras are Bharani, Magha, Purva Phalguni, Purva Ashadha, and Purva Bhadrapada. These
constellations are favorable for destructive deeds such as demolishing any structure, setting fires, making imprisonment and works that
require force, weapons and confronting enemies. This will be more auspicious if these nakshatras happen to fall on Tuesday.
The Kshipra or Swift nakshatras are Ashwini, Pushya and Hasta. These constellations are favorable for trade and commercial
transactions, admission in school or college, using medicine, taking or giving loans, journey and travel. This will be more auspicious if
these nakshatras happen to fall on Thursday.
The Mridu or Tender nakshatras are Mrigashira, Chitra, Anuradha, and Revati. These constellations are favorable for making new
friends and enjoyment of pleasures, romance, dance, drama, fashionable clothes, writing of poetry. This will be more auspicious if these
nakshatras happen to fall on Friday.
The Tikshna or Sharp nakshatras are Ardra, Ashlesha, Jyeshtha, and Mula. These constellations are favorable for filing for a
divorce, black magic, casting spells, exorcism, punishment, hypnotism, evoking of spirits, goblins, demons etc. This will be more
auspicious if these nakshatras happen to fall on Saturday.
