Nakshatra comes from the Moon's sidereal position in the sky, which Naamastro calculates using real astronomical data for each calendar date. Because the Moon's exact position also depends on birth time, this date-based lookup is a close approximation — for an exact birth chart, use the precise birth time with a family astrologer.
Why does the date-to-Nakshatra mapping change every year?
The Moon's sidereal cycle (about 27.3 days) doesn't divide evenly into the 365-day solar year, so the Nakshatra associated with a given calendar date shifts by roughly 11 days each year. These pages are mapped to the current Vedic calendar year.
