Division of Sign and Nakshatra |
|
For practical purpose a sign has been divided into 2 ¼ Nakshatras and a Nakshatra (of 13 20' arc) has been divided into four quarter each of 30 20’. In Vedic Astrology or Hindu Astrology, there is concept of Navamsha. To cast Navamsha Chart, sign has been divided into 9 parts each of 30 20’ which is incidentally equal with one quarter of Nakshatra. Lordship of quarter of Nakshatra has been decided in the sequence of Rashi and its Lord. Aries is the first sign of zodiac and its lord is Mars so, first quarter of Ashwini Nakshatra is ruled by Mars. Taurus is the second sign and its lord is Venus so, second quarter is ruled by Venus. Third sign is ruled by Mercury so third quarter is ruled by Mercury. Fourth sign is ruled by Moon so, fourth quarter is ruled by Moon. Likewise this sequence progresses upto the fourth quarter of every third Nakshatra, which have been tabulated as follows: | | | Nakshatra or Star (Astronomical Name) Nakshatra or Star Lord | | | | | | | Aswini (Beta Arietis) Ketu | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Bharani (35 Arietis) Venus | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Mrigashira (Lambda Orionis) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Aridra (Alpha Orionis) Rahu | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Punarvasu (Beta Geminorium) Jupiter | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Pushya (Delta Cancri) Saturn | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Aslesha (Alpha Hydroe) Mercury | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Poorva Phalguni (Delta Leonis) Venus | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Uttara Phalguni (Beta Leonis) Sun | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Chitra (Spica Virginis -Vegus) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Vishakha (Alpha Libroe) Jupiter | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Anuradha (Delta Scorpio) Saturn | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Jyehsta (Antares) Mercury | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Moola (Lambda Scorpio) Ketu | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purva Ashadha (Delta Sagittari) Venus | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Uttara Ashadha (Sigma sagittari) Sun | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Shravani (Alpha Aquiloe) Moon | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Dhanishta (Beta Delphinum) | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Satabhisha (Lambda Aquarius) Rahu | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Purva Bhadrapada (Alpha Pegasi) Jupiter | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Uttara bhadrapada (Gama Pegasi) Saturn | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Revati (Zeta Piscum) Mercury | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On the basis of above table, if we closely observe, we find that:
