Counting from the Birth Nakshatra

To count the Nakshatras from the birth Nakshatra to the Nakshatra of the day, you'll need to follow these steps:

1.      Identify the Birth Nakshatra: Determine the Nakshatra in which the Moon was placed at the time of birth. Let's denote this Nakshatra as "BN" for birth Nakshatra.

2.      Identify the Nakshatra of the Day: Determine the Nakshatra that the Moon is currently transiting. Denote this Nakshatra as "DN" for the Nakshatra of the day.

3.      Find the Position of the Nakshatras: Nakshatras are arranged in a sequence, so you need to find the positions of both BN and DN in this sequence. You can do this by checking their positions relative to each other in the Nakshatra sequence.

4.      Count the Nakshatras in Between: Count the number of Nakshatras from BN to DN inclusively. Each Nakshatra represents one step in the counting process.

5.      Interpretation: Once you've counted the Nakshatras between BN and DN, you can interpret the result based on astrological principles. This interpretation may provide insights into the auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of the day for various activities or aspects of life.

For example, let's say the BN is Rohini and the DN is Ashlesha. We count the Nakshatras as follows:

Rohini -> Mrigashira -> Ardra -> Punarvasu -> Pushya -> Ashlesha

In this case, there are five Nakshatras between Rohini and Ashlesha.

The result of counting can then be interpreted according to the principles of astrology, providing insights into the auspiciousness of the day for various activities.
