Rasi and Nakshatra Finder 1.1.12

This Android application allows users to identify their Rasi (Zodiac Sign) and Star (Nakshatra) based on the moon's position for any given date, time, and place.

It's worth noting that some users have faced difficulty locating their exact place of birth in the autocomplete place finder feature. Rest assured, unlike finding the Ascendant (Lagnam), determining your Rasi and Star only requires the TIME ZONE of your birthplace, not your coordinates (Latitude or Longitude). Therefore, it is recommended to select the nearest City, State, or Country in the same TIME ZONE as your birthplace to avoid confusion.

Misinterpretation of this instruction has resulted in lower ratings for the app.

Understanding one's Rasi/Nakshatra is crucial as it plays a significant role in defining an individual's horoscope and subsequent life events. Essentially, this Android app serves as a Rasi/Nakshatra Finder/Calculator.

Finding your Rasi/Nakshatra involves a straightforward calculation of the Moon's position in the sky at the time of your birth. The Moon moves swiftly, progressing through a single Zodiac sign (Rasi) approximately every 2 ½ days.

Indian astrology recognizes 12 Rasis or Zodiac signs. The basic division lies in identifying an individual's planetary positions at birth through the 27 stars and 12 Rasis.

Understanding your Rasi & Nakshatra is essential because Nakshatras are fixed entities in the Zodiac, around which the planetary system revolves. The Rasi is influenced by the Sun, while the Nakshatras are governed by the Moon. This signifies that Rasis depict the environments we encounter at different life stages, whereas Nakshatras govern our varying states of mind. Studying both is highly warranted as they influence our reactions to life events.

This app calculates your Rasi and Nakshatra based on B.V. Raman's Ayanamsa. In case of different results from other calculators, it may be due to using a different 'Ayanamsa' system such as Lahiri (Chitra Paksha), Krishnamurti, K.P., etc.
