Which Nakshatra the Moon is transiting right now, for any date, time and place.
Unlike the Nakshatra Calculator (which reads a birth chart), this finds which of the 27 Nakshatras the Moon is transiting at any given date, time and place — useful for choosing an auspicious day independent of any one person's chart.
The Nakshatra Calculator answers "what was my birth star", from a birth moment. This finder answers "which Nakshatra is the Moon in now", for any date and time you choose — useful for daily timing rather than natal reading.
A little under a day on average — the Moon covers roughly 13°20′ per day and each Nakshatra is exactly 13°20′ wide — but the real duration varies with the Moon’s changing speed.
Calculations use the sidereal (nirayana) zodiac. Lahiri is the default ayanamsa — the one used by the Indian civil calendar — with Raman and KP available as alternatives.
