What is a Nakshatra? The Moon rotates and completes its encircling of the Earth in 27.3 days. The cluster of stars the Moon crosses in a month is called a Nakshatra. There are 27 such clusters or nakshatras. So the Moon is always in some nakshatra at any given time. Each zodiac sign has about 2.25 nakshatras. Hence, each nakshatra is further divided into 4 phases. First phase is the rise, while the 4th phase is the decline. This minute calcuation of a given nakshatra when a child is born influences the analysis of one's nature and future in life. The groupings of the nakshatras are as follows: Dev-gana Manushya-gana Rakshas-gana Ashwani Bhrani Krittika Mrigashirsha Rohini Ashlesha Punarvasu Purva Phalguni Magha Pushya Purva Shadha Chitra Hasta Uttara Phalguni Vishakha Swati Uttara Ashadha Jyeshtha Anuradha Purva Bhadrapada Mula Sravana Uttara Bhadrapada Dhanishtha Revati Ardra Shatabhisha Apart from all of the above, there is another nakshatra that is made of the last 15 degrees of uttar bhadrapada and first 4 degrees of Sravana nakshatra, which is called Abhijit.
