The 27 Lunar Mansions
What Is Your Nakshatra?
Vedic astrology divides the zodiac into 27 nakshatras — lunar mansions of 13°20′ each — rather than just 12 signs. Your nakshatra is set by your exact Moon position at birth and carries its own ruling planet, deity, symbol, and personality profile, far more specific than a sun sign.

You'll need your exact birth date, time, and place — the Moon changes nakshatra roughly every day.
