Questions
What is the nakshatra today?
Right now in New Delhi (19 October 2026) the nakshatra is Uttara Ashadha — from 18 Oct, 12:49 PM until 3:38 PM. Then Shravana, until 20 Oct, 6:02 PM.
When does the next nakshatra begin?
Shravana begins at 3:38 PM and runs until 20 Oct, 6:02 PM (New Delhi time).
Does the nakshatra change at the same time in every city?
Yes — the nakshatra is set by the Moon's sidereal position, so the change happens at one instant worldwide; only the clock time zone differs. The nakshatra "of the day" is the one at each city's own sunrise, so it can occasionally differ between cities.
What a nakshatra is
The nakshatras are the 27 equal parts of the zodiac, 13°20′ each, from Ashwini to Revati. The one the Moon is in is the nakshatra of that moment; the Moon crosses one in about a day (20 to 27 hours).
Each has a ruling planet (in Vimshottari order), a deity and a nature, which muhurat, naming and the birth star all draw on. For the nakshatra at your own birth, use the nakshatra calculator.
