Because of that, the Moon takes 28 days to move in each zodiac sign and stays there for 2.3 days. It is believed, according to Vedic astrology, that lunar constellations or Nakshatras form an association with the natal symbols of the Moon. Moreover, they are further divided into four quarters called Pada. Therefore, each lunar mansion is about 13☂0’ in length. It is so because the planet Moon places itself in a Nakshatra for about one day. As per Vedic astrology, Nakshatra is the term people use for the lunar mansion.
