The mansions either side and the sign it starts in: Dhanishta, Purva Bhadrapada and Aquarius.

The other mansions under Rahu: Ardra and Swati.

Your Moon nakshatra is read from a kundli chart on the sidereal zodiac; the moon sign calculator uses the tropical one, so it often names the next sign along. Kundli matching then compares the nakshatra with a partner's.

One degree of Shatabhisha takes the Moon 115 minutes on this pass: that is how far both times move if your ayanamsa differs from Lahiri (24.23° in 2026) by a degree. Local times: IANA time zones, to the minute.

Moon in Shatabhisha

What Shatabhisha nakshatra is said to give

Shatabhisha belongs to Varuna, lord of the cosmic waters, and its name means a hundred healers. The tradition reads it as the mansion of healing and secrets — independent, research-minded and drawn to what lies hidden. People with the Moon here are described as private, philosophical and unconventional.

Strengths

Healing ability, independence, scientific thinking and honesty.

Challenges

Isolation, secrecy and stubbornness.

Shatabhisha in relationships

Loyal but private; needs understanding of their need for solitude.

Shatabhisha at work

Medicine, research, astronomy, technology and alternative healing.

The empty circle contains everything unseen; Shatabhisha is the healing that begins in private.

Reading Shatabhisha: gana, yoni and caste

  • Gana: Rakshasa — fierce: blunt and effective, and traditionally the hardest to match. Nearest Rakshasa neighbors: Dhanishta (no. 23) and Krittika (no. 3).
  • Yoni: Horse — shared only with Ashwini (no. 1); two charts with the same yoni get the top score for this factor.
  • Caste: Butcher. Presiding deity: Varuna, god of cosmic waters; symbol: an empty circle, a hundred healers.
