Navatara Nakshatra in Astrology

 

Navatara Nakshatra in Astrology

Navatara (meaning "Nine Stars") is a system in Vedic/Hindu astrology that classifies the 27 Nakshatras (lunar mansions) into groups of nine, calculated relative to a person's Janma Nakshatra (birth star).

How It Works

Starting from your birth Nakshatra, the 27 Nakshatras are counted and divided into three cycles of nine, each Nakshatra receiving a specific name and significance:

Position Name Meaning/Nature
1st Janma Birth star — identity, self
2nd Sampat Wealth, prosperity
3rd Vipat Dangers, obstacles
4th Kshema Well-being, comfort
5th Pratyak Obstacles, hindrances
6th Sadhana Achievement, success
7th Naidhana Death-like danger, loss
8th Mitra Friendly, supportive
9th Parama Mitra Best friend, highly auspicious

This cycle repeats three times to cover all 27 Nakshatras.

Key Uses

Muhurtha (Electional Astrology): Used to determine auspicious timing for events like marriages, travel, business, and ceremonies. Nakshatras falling on favorable positions (Sampat, Kshema, Sadhana, Mitra, Parama Mitra) are preferred.

Compatibility: Helps assess relationship and partnership compatibility between two individuals based on their birth stars.

Daily Planning: Some astrologers use it to judge whether a particular day's Nakshatra is favorable or unfavorable for a person.

Auspicious vs. Inauspicious Taras

  • ✅ Favorable: Sampat (2nd), Kshema (4th), Sadhana (6th), Mitra (8th), Parama Mitra (9th)
  • ❌ Unfavorable: Vipat (3rd), Pratyak (5th), Naidhana (7th)
  • ⚪ Neutral: Janma (1st) — neither good nor bad, just personal

Example

If your birth Nakshatra is Rohini (4th Nakshatra), then counting from Rohini, the 2nd Nakshatra (Mrigashira) becomes your Sampat, the 3rd (Ardra) becomes Vipat, and so on.

This system is widely used in South Indian and North Indian Vedic astrology traditions for practical day-to-day and ceremonial decision-making.
