The brightest nakshatra junction stars currently above the horizon — Spica (Chitrā), Arcturus (Svāti), Antares (Jyeṣṭhā), Aldebaran (Rohiṇī) and more — and where to look right now. See what each nakshatra means →
Altitudes, directions, the Moon's nakshatra and the pañchāṅga are computed on-device for SCOB (1.3342°N, 103.7357°E) at the chosen moment (Sun & Moon via the shared astro-core.js engine), so the page works offline. Each nakshatra is shown by its junction star (yogatārā). The 🌙 lodge is the Moon's real sidereal position among the stars, using the Lahiri (Chitrapakṣa) ayanāṁśa; the pañchāṅga gives the classical tithi, vāra, yoga and karaṇa. Positions are accurate to within a fraction of a degree — fine for finding things, not for ritual muhūrta. For what each nakshatra means, see The Indian Sky.
