All 27 Nakshatras on one wheel, the direction each one belongs to, and simple cards to remember the planets and their Nakshatras.
See the Whole Cycle as a Wheel
The 27 Nakshatras and their 4 Padas each, laid out around the 12 Rashis — Aries (मेष) at the top, moving anticlockwise the way a kundali does. A quick visual memory aid for the sequence.
1–9 Ashwini to Ashlesha10–18 Magha to Jyeshtha19–27 Mula to Revati
On a phone, slide the wheel sideways to see all of it.

The one thing to remember: each Rashi holds about 2¼ Nakshatras, so the thick sign-lines and the thin numbered Nakshatra ticks never line up neatly. That mismatch is the whole idea. Everything else (exact degrees, which Pada falls where) is a lookup, not something to memorise.
In the traditional directional scheme, the Nakshatras are assigned in turn to the South, West, North and East. It is a handy reference when a Nakshatra comes up in a Vastu or Muhurta discussion.

The empty West cell is where Abhijit — the minor 28th Nakshatra that some traditions count between Uttara Ashadha and Shravana — falls in this scheme. The standard 27-Nakshatra list used everywhere else on this page leaves it out.
Nakshatras and Their Ruling Planets
Two study cards: the 27 Nakshatras in three lines with each ruling planet named, and the three Nakshatras of each planet. Tap a card to enlarge it.
Interested in Learning More?
Both cards and the daily practice are part of Premium, along with the other detailed Vedic Wisdom pages. Premium is there whenever you are ready.
These cards help you remember the order. Reading a chart still needs the whole picture: the sign, house, aspects and the running Dasha.
Want this read against your own actual birth chart — Moon (चंद्र) Nakshatra, Lagna Nakshatra and all? Book a Kundli reading and Simmi will walk you through it personally.
