There are 27 Nakshatras – fixed stars or Moon’s houses.
”Nakshatra” means ”what never goes away”. Sometimes they are called Moon’s houses, because, in each of them, Chandra is sitting about one day.
Fixed stars have huge significance in Indian astrology. Western astrology has only recently begun to give them greater importance. In Jyotish, they make up the very core of the system.
