Nakshatras plays the most important role in predictive astrology. In Vedic Astrology the Zodiac comprises 360 degrees. By making a 30 degree division we get the 12 Rashis. By making a 13 degree 20 minutes division we get the 27 Nakshatras. The result of the Planet placed in the particular Zodiac Sign is very much influenced after considering the Nakshatra in which the planet is placed.

  Each Nakshatra has one of the Navagrahas as Lord and is totally governed by them. The order for the first 9 nakshatras are Ketu, Shukra (Venus), Surya(Sun), Chandra(Moon), Mangal (Mars), Rahu, Guru (Jupiter), Shani (Saturn) and Budha (Mercury). This cycle gets repeated two more times to cover all the 27 nakshatras. Based on this the Vimsottari Dasa System which is the most accurate and logical dasha-system to predict the timing of a particular event in the past, present and future of one’s life has been built.  

 In the life of a person the Birth Nakshatra can show broadly the disease to which an individual (He/She) can prone to be. Still for perfect prediction we should analyse individual Natal Chart.
