Calculate your Janma Nakshatra
Your birth Nakshatra is determined by the Moon's zodiac position at birth. This calculator reports its name and pada alongside the Moon sign. Use it for an existing birth record; it does not choose an auspicious date for a future event.
What the pada adds
Each Nakshatra has four padas. The pada gives a finer division of the Moon's position, so a small change in time near a boundary can matter. The output comes from the same birth calculation used for the Kundli and Dasha reports.
Continue from the birth star
After checking the birth star, you can explore the Vimshottari Dasha timeline using the same profile. Keep the date, time, birthplace and calculation convention consistent when comparing results across tools.
How to use this calculator
- Check the prefilled birth details or select your own saved family profile.
- Enter a known birth time and select the correct birthplace.
- Generate the report. When signed in, your profile and the result save to your account automatically.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Rashi and Nakshatra?
Rashi divides the zodiac into twelve signs; the Nakshatra system divides it into twenty-seven lunar mansions. Both describe the Moon's position at birth in this report.
Can my pada change if I correct the birth time?
Yes, especially near a boundary. Recalculate with the corrected time rather than assuming the earlier pada remains valid.
Does this select a good Nakshatra for childbirth?
No. It identifies the Nakshatra of a recorded birth. Event timing and Muhurat are separate tools.
