Nakshatra

In Vedic Astrology, known as ‘Jyotish’ in Sanskrit, the 27 constellations (Nakshatras) determines the core of celestial influences on our planet. The term Nakshatra when dissected gets split into Naksha - Map and Tara – Star which apparently points out the “Star mapping” technique. The 27 Nakshatras, in a way, represents our ideal path in the passage of life right from the moment of birth and goes till death.

Magha Nakshatra

Magha, the brightest and the largest among all Nakshatras are represented in the night sky by a sickle-shaped group of stars in front of the royal constellation of Leo. Ancient Vedic Legends saw this constellation as a Throne while others saw it as a Lion. The brightest among them is Regulus or Alpha-Leonis with a visual magnitude of 1.41 which is easily visible in the night sky. For these prominent reasons, it is also called as “Little King” or “Little Sun”. The rest of the stars in this constellation lies above it, and in modern astronomy, they are called as Eta-Leonis Zeta-Leonis Sigma-Leonis
