In Vedic astrology, each of the 27 Nakshatras (lunar mansions) embodies a unique Shakti—a divine power or energy that shapes your personality, karma, and responses to life. These Nakshatras are not just stellar locations but energetic blueprints that affect our emotional, mental, and spiritual experiences.

When the Moon or any planet transits through a Nakshatra, it activates the Shakti of that star. If a planet in your birth chart is placed in a Nakshatra, you carry that energy within you for life.

Lets explore each Nakshatra, thier Power of Nakshatras, its Shakti, and how to align with its cosmic power.
