In reality, it takes less time, but for the convenience of calculation, it is rounded off to 24 hours. This is done assuming that the motion of the Moon is uniform across all the Nakshatras (lunar mansions) which takes one day for a complete revolution. If we divide all the 12 zodiacs across 360 degrees measurement of the sky, further divided into 27 parts, we will get 13 degrees 20 minutes for each Nakshatra. We can round it off from the lower portion of 27 Constellations to the upper portion of 28 Constellations. One lunar cycle is 27 days plus 7 hours approximately. Before we dive deep, it’s important to understand the broad picture first. One is based on the 27 Nakshatra system, and the other is 28 Nakshatra. There are various systems or schemes of astrological Nakshatra.
