Every celestial body, whether stars, planets, comets, or meteors, was regarded as a star in ancient astrology. In fact, this is why meteors are still referred to as shooting stars. Furthermore, for convenience, they were separated into fixed and wandering stars. The Sun was regarded as a fixed star, whereas planets, Earth's Moon, and other planets were considered wandering stars. However, because of advances in astronomy, this no longer holds true in modern times.
The Vedic constellation system is quite old, stretching back more than 5,000 years. The 27 constellations, not the 12 star-signs, are the key to understanding cosmic influences in the Vedic (Hindu) school of Astrology. These 27 constellations combine to form Nakshatras, which are 300 to 400 light-years from Earth. Vedic astrology is strongly rooted in determining a person's moon Nakshatra at the moment of birth.
Because the constellation or nakshatra where the moon finds its presence is known as the Janma Nakshatra, and because the moon influences the mental parts of the native, the moon's nakshatra has an everlasting influence on the moon. If one is born in the nakshatra of Mars, it is likely to have an impact on aspects regulated by Mars, such as marriage and younger siblings.
Each nakshatra has a planetary lord, and the location of the same (planetary lord) determines the initial dasa or 'phase' in a native's horoscope. Nakshatra lords are also significant in establishing a person's essential qualities, as well as determining the focus areas of his energy and ambition.
Best Astrologers think that by using a person's nakshtra, they may predict and influence the fates of people, social groups, and countries. Although astrology has long been considered a science, its beliefs and discoveries regularly contradict modern Western science.
