Nakshatra Transit

The Moon moves through one of the 27 Nakshatras roughly every day. Here's which one it's in right now, how long it lasts, and what comes next.

Current/next Nakshatra windows are real Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri) root-found boundaries of the Moon's sidereal longitude crossing each 13°20' segment — the same computation and the same `find_nakshatra_window` helper the daily Panchang's Nakshatra track already uses, so this is guaranteed consistent with a given day's Panchang rather than a separate estimate. Defaults to the actual current moment in the given timezone if no time is specified. Pada, Nakshatra-lord (Vimshottari dasha-lord sequence), Gana, Nadi and Yoni come from the same classical whole-nakshatra tables already used by the Horoscope Match engine. Pada-level sub-lord and deeper per-pada classical detail are NOT included here — tracked as a follow-up, not estimated.

How to read this

Pada

Each Nakshatra is divided into 4 padas (quarters) of 3°20' each, used mainly in naming traditions and finer chart analysis. This shows the Moon's current pada, not a full pada-by-pada breakdown of sub-lords or classical detail — see the linked Nakshatra guide for the general themes of a Nakshatra as a whole.

Nakshatra Lord

Each Nakshatra is ruled by one of the 9 grahas in the Vimshottari Dasha sequence — the same lord used for Dasha calculations elsewhere on this site.

Gana, Nadi & Yoni

These are the same three classical compatibility factors used in Ashtakoot Guna Milan (Horoscope Match) — Gana is a temperament group (Deva/Manushya/Rakshasa), Nadi relates to constitutional type (Aadi/Madhya/Antya), and Yoni is a symbolic animal pairing.
