Nadi Astrology
Nādi Astrology (') is a form of astrology practiced in Tamil Nadu and adjacent regions in India. It is based on the belief that the present lives of many humans were foreseen by Hindu sages in ancient times. History In Tamil Nadu, the texts are mainly written in ''Vatteluttu'', which was an abugida script used to write Tamil up until the 12th century CE. The content of the manuscripts is often attributed to the Vedic sage Agastya who is believed to have possessed a highly developed consciousness. These ancient records of providence were made famous by practitioners around the Vaitheeshwaran Temple in the state of Tamil Nadu.

Nakshatra
Nakshatra () is the term for Lunar mansion in Hindu astrology and Buddhist astrology. A nakshatra is one of 27 (sometimes also 28) sectors along the ecliptic. Their names are related to a prominent star or asterisms in or near the respective sectors. In essence (in Western astronomical terms), a nakshatra simply is a constellation. Every nakshatra is divided into four ''padas'' ( "steps"). The starting point for the nakshatras according to the ''Vedas'' is "Krittika" (it has been argued, because the Pleiades may have started the year at the time the ''Vedas'' were compiled, presumably at the vernal equinox), but, in more recent compilations, the start of the nakshatras list is the point on the ecliptic directly opposite the star Spica, called ''Chitrā'' in Sanskrit. This translates to Ashwinī, a part of the modern constellation of Aries. These compilations, therefore, may have been compiled during the centuries when the sun was passing through Aries at the time of the ver ...
