What is Janma Nakshatra?

Your Janma Nakshatra is the lunar mansion, or birth star, that the Moon occupied at the moment you were born. The sidereal zodiac is divided into 27 nakshatras, and each nakshatra is split into four padas (quarters) — together they describe temperament and are used for naming, Dasha, and choosing auspicious times (muhurta).
