In Jyotish Vedic astrology, the 12 signs of the zodiac are further divided into 27 nakshatras or lunar constellations, also called lunar houses or lunar stations.
The moon spends approximately one day in each nakshatra.
Each lunar constellation covers 13 degrees, which is equal to 20 minutes of the celestial sphere.
Each nakshatra is further divided into 4 parts, which are called padas.
Each sign of the zodiac covers nine padas.
Each nakshatra has a ruler.
The order of rulers starts with keti
(South Node of the Moon) followed by venus, sun, moon, mars, rahu
(North Node of the Moon), Jupiter, Saturn and mercury
