Nakshatra 24 of 27
Shatabhisha
Shatabhisha is the hundred healers. It is private, independent and scientific, a solver of problems who keeps its own counsel.
A nakshatra is one of the 27 lunar mansions of Vedic astrology. Yours is the one the Moon stood in when you were born, measured in the sidereal zodiac. Shatabhisha spans 6°40′ Aquarius to 20°00′ Aquarius.
Its ruler, Rahu, also opens the first of your life chapters (the Vimshottari dasha) if your Moon sits here.
Each nakshatra splits into four padas of 3°20′, 108 in all. Each pada falls in a navamsa sign, so the same mansion can lean four slightly different ways.
