Your janma nakshatra is the star the Moon was passing through at your birth. It guides naamkaran, guna milan and your dasha timeline.
How it works
There are 27 nakshatras, each split into four padas. Each pada has a traditional first syllable used when choosing a name at naamkaran.

Frequently asked questions
How is my birth nakshatra calculated?
From the Moon's sidereal position at your birth time (janam ka samay). The Moon moves through one nakshatra in about a day, so the date and time both matter.
Why does nakshatra matter for marriage?
Guna milan compares the two nakshatras for Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi, which carry 21 of the 36 gunas.
