Mahastro
This Andriod application will enable one toidentify one’s Rasi(Zodiac Sign) and Star (Nakshatra)based on theposition of the moon for any given date, time and place.Note: Some of the users have problem in finding their exact placeof birth in the "autocomplete place finder' in the app. Not toworry.Unlike finding Ascendant(Lagnam), finding your Rasi and Star needsonly TIME ZONE of your birth place and not your co-ordinates(Latitude or Longitute). Consideringthis, you are requested to select the nearest City or State orCountry. (If it is the same TIME ZONE of your place ofbirth).- Misunderstanding of the above has lead to poor ratings.Having a knowledge about the Rasi/Nakshatra is very important sincethis plays a major role in defining the horoscope for an individualand his/her consequentialevents in life. Basically, you would use this android app as aRasi/Nakshatra Finder/Calculator.Determining your Rasi/Nakshtra is a simple calculation of theMoon’s position in the sky when you were born. Moon travels veryfast and crossing a single Rasi(Zodiac)will take about 2 ½ days.There are 12 Rasi’s or Zodiac signs as per Indian astrology. The 27stars and 12 Rasi’s are the basic division in identifying aparticular individual’s position ofplanets at the time of his/her birth.Why should you know your Rasi & Nakshtra?:The Nakshatras are apparently fixed bodies in the Zodiac, where theplanetary system moves with them, which is actually placed in thebackground. Among the Rasi andthe Nakshatras, the former is overloaded by the Sun, whereas thelatter is overloaded by Moon. This implies that the Rasi shows theenvironment we would be placedwith, at different times in our life and what we get out of it onthe other hand, is that the Nakshatras governs the different stateof minds we shall be having atvarious times. Even the actual events are important in our life,taking a person-centric view point and our reactions to them alsomatter equally. Hence the study ofthe Nakshatras and Rasi are well warranted.This app calculates your Rasi and Nakshatra based on B.V.Raman'sAyanamsa. If you get a different result from this calculator,please be informed that this is becauseof the different ‘Ayanamsa’ (There are many like Lahiri (ChitraPaksha), Krishnamurti, K.P etc) and if you happen to have amismatch in the result, this will bebecause of a different ‘Ayanamsa’ used to determine yourRasi/Nakshatra.Note : To check marriage compatibility based on vedic system, use'Vedic Marriage Match' android app.https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=droidapp.venkat.VedicMarriageMatchLITE

Someconsider it as an auspicious timing and some consider it asinauspicious. So, what is really in store!It is believed that when any new venture is started or a freshcontract is going to be signed or a new vehicle is to be purchased,etc during the "Gulika Kalam", that particular event is said torepeat again and again in future.So, happenings of the above nature are alone performed during'Gulika Kalam'. For obvious reasons, events like weddings will notbe conducted during this time.Also, some believe this "duration" is actually ruled by 'Shani'(Saturn) and hence this particular period is considered to beinauspicious. To conclude, the above is the belief perceived on"Gulika Kalam" in general and it is up to the user on how he/shewould perceive it..!
