Nakshatra
The Western and Hindu astrological studies are derived from studies of astronomy and effects on humans, their personalities, features, past, present and future. The Western astrology has been inspired by Ptolemy’s Tetrabiblos of the 2nd century.
Today, Western astrology or the sun sign astrology, or predictive astrology, is focused on the solar movements and positions and the constellations.
Hindu astrology, also known as Jyotisha or Jyotishya, is derived from ancient Vedic study of the lunar position, the stars, the solar ascent and several parameters determining the human nature.
The term Nakshatra is one of the most applied theories studied in the Hindu astrology. The Indian astronomy and astrology are based on the lunar mansion or the lunar orbit path, otherwise known as the Nakshatra.
Among the 27 Nakshatra, including the zodiac signs, is the storm god nakshatra or the Ardra.
