Astrology >>> Nakshatras
The Raasi Chakra consists of 12 houses, each house known as a Raasi. These 12 divisions known as Raasis comprises the pathway of Navagrahas.
The pathway of the Chandran (Moon) through the 12 Raasis in the Raasi Chakra is divided into 27 equal parts.
Each part is called a Nakshatra. Thus there are 27 Nakshatras forming the pathway of the transition of Moon and as well of all the Navagrahas.
Each Nakshatra is identified by the quarter parts of it. Each Nakshatra is divided by equal 4 parts and each part is known as a Padam.
Thus each of the 12 Raasis comprises two and one quarter of a Nakshatras.

Each Nakshatra falls under the rule one Navagraha. There are 27 Nakshatras and 9 Grahas (Nava Grahas). Thus each Navagraha is assigned 3 Nakshatras.
(When 27 Nakshatras fall within 12 Raasis, necessarily each Raasi should comprise a fraction of a Nakshatra in addition to the two whole Nakshatras or as the case may be, one full Nakshatra and two Nakshatras in their fractions. We will see this in a different occasion)
