Nakshatras

Nakshatras in Forecasting


Moon location in different Nakshatras is favorable for different activities and it is one of the most important factors in Muhurta. The Nakshatras can be divided into seven groups according to general qualities of their nature: Another factor to consider is the day Nakshatra relationship with the birth Nakshatra (the Nakshatra of the Moon at birth).

For this, we count from birth Nakshatra to the daily Nakshatra (counting the birth Nakshatra as one). We subtract multiples of nine from that amount and consider the remainder. If the amount is less than nine, we take that. Below is a list of relationships between day and birth Nakshatras (based on calculation described above):



Nakshatras Forecasting

  • 1) Dhruva (FIXED), - Rohini, Uttara Phalguni, Uttarashada, Utthara Bhadra;
  • 2) Tikshna (HARSH), - Ardha, Ashlesha, Mula, Jyeshta;

  • 3) Ugra (FIERCE), - Bharani, Magha, Purva Phalguni, Purvashada, Purva Bhadra;
  • 4) Kshipra (QUICK), - Ashwini, Pushya, Hasta, Abhijit;
  • 5) Mridu (SOFT), - Mrigashiras, Chitra, Anuradha, Revati;
  • 6) Mridu-Tikshna (MIXED), - Krittika, Vishakha;
  • 7) Chara (MOVEABLE), - Punarvasu, Swasti, Shravana, Dhanishta, Shatabhishak.
  • 1. "Janma" (birth), - indicates danger, particularly to the body, generally unfavorable.
  • 2. Sampat (gain), - gains and accomplishments, favorable;
  • 3. "Vipat" (loss), - losses, dangers and accidents, generally unfavorable;
  • 4. "Kshema" (prosperity), - security and safety, favorable;
  • 5. "Pratyak" (opposition), - difficulties and obstacles;
  • 6. Sadhana (accomplishment), - success, achievement and realization of our goals and desires;
  • 7. "Nidhana" (danger), - generally unfavorable.
  • 8. "Mitra" (friend), - help and alliances;
  • 9. "Paramamitra" (supreme friend), - great help.

The difficulty given by 3, 5 and 7-th positions is said to be less if it occurs at 12, 14 and 16-th Nakshatras from birth Nakshatra. It is only slight if it occurs at 21, 23 and 25-th from it. Hence, it is better if the daily Nakshatra is behind the birth Nakshatra in Zodiac then in front of it. In addition the 27-th Nakshatra to the one's birth Nakshatra is often not favorable. Hence, even if Nakshatra is generally favorable, it may not be so if we look at its relationship with birth Nakshatra of a person. It is better to have Nakshatra that is favorable in both ways.
