ArdraGemini 6°40′–20°

What Ardra means in Vedic astrology

Ardra is the 6th of the 27 Nakshatra — the lunar mansions that divide the sidereal zodiac into finer bands than the twelve Rāsi. It spans Gemini 6°40′–20°, is ruled by Rahu, and is presided over by the deity Rudra.

Its symbol is the teardrop, and it belongs to the Manushya gana. Your Nakshatra is determined by the exact degree of the Moon at your birth, which makes it far more specific than your moon sign alone — and it is what drives your Vimshottari Dasha, the timing system at the heart of Jyotish prediction.
