I wrote – “further division.” Perhaps this is best visualized… valistBasics/ Check the Nakshatra Wheels. Shrifreedom.com also has an artistic Nakshatra wheel.

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. Hope this clarifies, Sourav , "Nitin" <sjvc@j...> wrote: > > ||| Hare Rama Krishna ||| > > Dear…?

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2005 Report Share Posted April 21, 2005 || Hare Rama Krishna || Dear Nitin-ji, Namaskar. No intention of carping. You said "further division of a sign". Nakshatras are not further divisions *of signs*. They are independant divisions of the zodiac. I wanted to clarify it for the beginner. Thanks for the links.
