Abhijit nakshatra
Abhijit is the 28th nakshatra, a narrow extra segment from 6°40′ to 10°53′20″ of sidereal Capricorn, named after the bright star Vega. Some muhurat systems use it, but it has no place in Vimshottari dasha.
Also known as: Abhijeet nakshatra, Abhijith, Abhijit star, Vega
Early Vedic lists counted 28 nakshatras. When the zodiac was later divided into 27 equal parts, Abhijit, ‘the victorious’, was kept as an extra segment made from the last quarter of Uttara Ashadha and the first fifteenth of Shravana. Its star, Vega, lies far to the north of the Moon’s path.
Its deity is Brahma, and muhurat texts count it as a swift (kshipra) star along with Ashwini, Pushya and Hasta. Abhijit has no Vimshottari lord, so a Kundli always gives your birth star from the standard 27. Naming lists that use it give the syllables Ju, Je, Jo and Kha, and it appears in the 28-star Sarvatobhadra chakra.
Don’t confuse Abhijit nakshatra with Abhijit muhurat, the window around local midday. They share a name and the idea of victory, but one is a stretch of sky the Moon passes through and the other is a daily period of time.
