Why is knowing your Nakshatra important?
In Indian tradition, the Nakshatra is the "Star of Destiny." It is used for:
Naming Your Baby
The starting sound of a baby's name is chosen based on the Nakshatra Pada to resonate with their cosmic energy.
Marriage Matching
The compatibility of minds (Mahendra Koota, Nadi Koota) is checked using the Nakshatras of the bride and groom.
Rashi vs. Sun Sign
Many people confuse Rashi with Sun Sign. While your Sun Sign represents your ego (how you shine), your Rashi represents your mind (how you feel). Since we live in our minds most of the time, Vedic Astrology considers Rashi to be the primary sign for predictions.
