Dear Swee,

The 28 Nakshatra scheam was used when the geocentric path of moon was

used for the nakshatra divisions. Originally such divisions were

counted from Abhijith Nakshatra (Since if only you count nakshatras

from Abhijith, all Yoga Tharas will fall with in their respective

divisions). But later this system become corrected and to correct the

zodiac division system based on systematic mathametical foundation,

division geocentric path of sun in to 27 equal parts (13 degree 20 min

each) was introduced. Abhijith was very far away from this path, and

there for left out from the scheam. Thus came into existance the 27

Nakshatra scheam of equal division.

Hope this helps,

Love,

Sreenadh
