Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 ||| Hare Rama Krishna ||| Dear…? And list members, Namaskaar. Allow me to share some of my understanding. • Sun Sign -- Sign being occupied by the Sun at the time of birth • Moon Sign -- Sign being occupied by the Moon at the time of birth • Birth Rashi – Same as Lagna (see below) • Birth Star (Nakshatra) – Moon’s asterism; An asterism is a further division of a sign • Navamsas – The 1/9th division (subdivisional) of the Rashi (natal chart), commonly abbreviated by some as the D9 • Lagana – The Ascendant – rising sign at East at the time of birth …still trying to figure out how these are all linked together and work. It’s a long study. :> Some free resources online: vedic astrology/messages/1 /messages/1 http://www..org/learn/lessons.htm Best wishes, Niin. || Namah Shivaaya || >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>..

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 || Hare Rama Krishna || Dear Nitin, Namaskar. Asterism (nakshatra) is not a division of a sign itself. There are 27 equal divisions of the zodiac each called an asterism. One sign constitutes the span of two asterisms and a portion of another next asterism.
