How to Match Rashi + Nakshatra :
Solar divisions = rashi
-
Lunar division = nakshatra
The circle of the zodiac = 360 degrees
360 = divided into 12 Rashi
one rashi = 30 degrees
each 30 degree rashi = nine equal portions
'nava' = 'nine'; 'portion' = 'amsha
-
One-ninth of a rashi = nav-amsha = the space of an 'arc' = 3 degrees 20 minutes
9 * [3 degrees 20 minutes] = 30 degrees
9 portions * 12 rashi = 108 portions
There are 27 Nakshatra
each nakshatra = 4 pada = 4 steps (ped = feet) = 4 quarters
each nakshatra quarter = nakshatra pada = 3 degrees 20 minutes
each nakshatra = [3 degrees 20 minutes] * 4 pada = 13 degrees 20 minutes
27 nakshatra * 13 degrees 20 minutes = 27 * 13.33 inf = 360 degrees = 1 circle
4 portions * 27 nakshatra = 108 portions
One-ninth of a rashi = navamsha = One-fourth of a nakshatra
