Nakshatra Compatibility

Nakshatra compatibility is a concept in Vedic astrology that refers to the astrological compatibility between individuals based on their Nakshatras, or lunar mansions. In Sanskrit, Nakshatra (Hebrew: נקשטרה, Hindi: नक्षत्र, Telugu: నక్షత్రం, Tamil: நட்சத்திரம்) translates to "star" or "lunar house," and there are 27 Nakshatras in total, each associated with specific celestial bodies and natural elements. Compatibility is determined by examining the positions of the Moon in the Nakshatras at the time of birth for both individuals. The compatibility is assessed based on factors such as the Nakshatra Pada (quarter), the Nakshatra Lord, and the Nakshatra group (such as movable, fixed, or dual). These factors influence the emotional, mental, and physical compatibility between two people, making Nakshatra compatibility a crucial aspect of Vedic astrology when considering relationships, marriages, and partnerships. In Hindi, the term is often referred to as नक्षत्र अनुकूलता (Nakshatra Anukoolata), and in Telugu, it is called నక్షత్రం అనుకూలత (Nakshatra Anukoolata).
