Nakshtras
12.
The zodiac is divided into 27 Nakshtras or constellations, each having an
extent of 13 degrees & 20 minutes. Each Nakshtra may be further divided
into four equal parts of 3 degrees & 20 minutes each, and called the Padas, Charans or quarters. Since there
are 12 signs in the zodiac, each sign consists of two and a quarter Nakshtras
or 9 Nakshtra Padas. The order of
rulers of the first nine Nakshtras is Ketu, Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu,
Jupiter, Saturn and Mercury. This order repeats in the next group of nine
Nakshtras, and again in the last group of nine Nakshtras. The fiery signs-
Aries, Leo & Sagittarius, have same set of Nakshtras i.e. Ketu (4 Padas),
Venus A(4 Padas) and of Sun (1 Pada). The earthy signs- Taurus, Virgo &
Capricorn, have next set of Nakshtras i.e. Sun (3 Padas), Moon (4 Padas) and of
Mars (2 Padas). Similarly airy signs- Gemini, Libra & Aquarius, have next
set of Nakshtras i.e. Mars (2 Padas), Rahu (4 Padas), and of Jupiter (3 Padas);
and Watery signs- Cancer, Scorpio & Pisces, have next set of Nakshtras i.e.
Jupiter (1 Pada), Saturn (4 Padas), and of Mercury (4 Padas).

Nakshtras have a great importance in predictive astrology. The whole system of
Parashari/ Yogini dashas are based on
position of Moon at the time of birth in a particular Nakshtra. The Vedic
astrology gives great importance to the Nakshtra in which Moon is placed at
birth and call it as “birth star”. The transition from Ashlesha to Magha or Jyestha
to Moola or Revati to Ashwani is
called “Gand-Mool Nakshtra, which is
considered very evil if a native is born during this transition or an event,
lagna, or planet is placed in Gand-Moola
Nakshtra. The classical texts are, however, silent on the exact role of
Nakshtras in delineating a chart be it a natal, annual or horary chart. One of
the major influences on any planet or lagna is of its Nakshtra lord, its
placement, association or aspects. Similarly a house is influenced by its
cuspal lord, which is the Nakshtra lord of its Cusp or mid-point. The real,
subtle and invisible strength emerges only when Nakshtras are integrated in
analysis of charts. The analysis normally takes following steps:
1.
Lagna, Lagnesh or Karyesh is in Nakshtra, whose lord is say planet A is in Nakshtra
whose lord is say planet B.
2.
Planet B is in Nakshtra whose lord is say planet C.
If planets A, B & C
are strong and favourable, the results will be very good and favourable.
