Nakshatra Finder — Your Birth Star Explained
Your nakshatra, or birth star, is the lunar constellation the Moon occupied at the moment of your birth. GreatOhm finds yours instantly and opens a full profile — temperament, dasha, transit and compatibility.
What Are the 27 Nakshatras?
Vedic astrology divides the zodiac into 27 nakshatras, each 13°20′ wide and named after a star or asterism — from Ashwini to Revati. Each nakshatra has a ruling deity, a symbol, an animal, an element and a set of personality qualities, giving astrology a level of detail beyond the Sun or Moon sign alone.
How to Find Your Nakshatra
The nakshatra depends on the exact longitude of the Moon at birth, so the time and place of birth matter. GreatOhm computes the Moon's position and tells you:
- Your Janma Nakshatra and its pada (quarter)
- The nakshatra lord and the Moon sign (rashi)
- The deity, symbol and core personality themes
- Gunas and ideal life direction
Nakshatra Profile & Dasha
Each nakshatra carries a distinct character — some are gentle and nurturing, others fierce and driven, still others creative and sociable. GreatOhm adds your Vimshottari dasha sequence so you know which planetary periods are active or approaching in your life.

Birth star matching is built into the Ashtakoota system used before marriage in many Indian families. GreatOhm combines nakshatra compatibility with full kundli matching so you see both the star-level harmony and the complete Guna Milan score side by side.
