What is a nakshatra transit?

The zodiac is also divided into 27 nakshatras (lunar mansions), each spanning 13°20′ — a finer division than the 12 signs. A nakshatra transit is when a planet crosses from one of these into the next. Each nakshatra carries its own ruling deity, planetary lord, and classical themes, so a planet's nakshatra placement adds a more specific layer of meaning on top of its sign. The Moon's own nakshatra changes roughly daily and is tracked separately as part of the daily Panchang rather than listed here.
