The interpretations of the nakshatras that are given below are modern renditions of the ancient Vedic system of interpreting. Much of Vedic astrology is dogmatic and judgemental, and modern research in astrology has shown that it is difficult to determine from an astrology chart whether someone is good or bad, successful or unsuccessful, beautiful or ugly, prosperous or poor. The judgemental quality of the ancient interpretations has been toned down and a more psychological orientation has been given to the interpretations because the fatalistic and dogmatic original text is believed by the great majority of modern astrologers to be misguided, incorrect, harmful, and confusing due to its inaccuracy. Still, there are many astrologers who find that beneath the categorical statements of Vedic astrology lies genuine pearls of wisdom.

Nakshatras are also known as lunar mansions. There are 27 nakshatras, and each one has a length of 13 degrees and 20 minutes. The nakshatra position of the Moon is very important in Vedic astrology, and are also used to calculate the planetary periods (dasas and bhuktis) that are given. The larger planetary period (dasa) is given, and then the subperiods (bhuktis) within this larger period are indented. There are 9 bhuktis in each dasa, except for the first dasa, which may have fewer bhuktis.

The following interpretation is based on the Tropical zodiac:

Moon in 5th nakshatra:

The Moon is in Mrigasirsha, the fifth nakshatra (23 deg 20 min of Taurus to 6 deg 40 min of Gemini). You are fickle, sharp-witted, timid, eloquent, industrious, and sensual. You have the capacity to become very wealthy.
