Astrology Lessons - Nakshatras (Lunar Mansions)

According to Vedic Astrology, the sky (360 degrees) is divided into 12 zodiac signs and 27 Nakshatras. While signs show the outer environment, Nakshatras reveal the internal quality and psychological nature of a planet. Our Moon's position at birth in a Nakshatra determines our mental makeup and life cycle (Dasha).
