Nakshatra Calculator — Find Your Birth Star नक्षत्र कैलकुलेटर

Your birth star (Janma Nakshatra) is the sky section the Moon occupied at birth. There are 27 sections, from Ashwini to Revati, each 13°20′ wide. It sets naming sounds, auspicious timing and the start of your planet periods.

Enter your birth date, time and place above. The tool uses Swiss Ephemeris and the Lahiri correction. It shows your birth star, its quarter and Moon sign.

A quarter (Pada) divides each star section into four parts of 3°20′. There are 108 quarters in total. Each matches one marriage-chart division and helps choose birth-name sounds.

Your Moon sign covers 30 degrees. Your birth-star section covers 13°20′. Each star quarter sits within one sign. Both describe the Moon's position at different scales.

The Moon changes star sections about once a day. An approximate time often works, except near a boundary. Your rising star always needs accurate birth time.

Your rising star comes from the point rising in the east at birth. Your birth star comes from the Moon. The tool shows both, with their quarters.

Birth stars use the star-based zodiac. Most Western sites use the season-based zodiac. Their current gap is about 24 degrees. We use India's standard Lahiri correction. Different corrections can change results near a boundary.
