The 4th Nakshatra counted from an individual’s Janma Moon Nakshatra (birth star) is designated as the Kshema Tara (Star of Well-being) within the Navatara Chakra system of Vedic Astrology. This classification system, frequently emphasized by senior astrologers for its practical utility in predictive astrology, signifies protection, stability, and peace in an individual’s life.

This system, which divides the 27 Nakshatras into nine repeating groups based on their relationship to the birth star, marks the Kshema Tara as highly auspicious.

It specifically governs the area of protection, stability, and peaceful maintenance of all life aspects, including health. Astrologers use this star to signify times that are excellent for:

• Health Improvement: Promoting recovery, healing, and support overcoming existing illnesses.
• Security and Comfort: Establishing overall physical and mental peace.

In the context of health, Dasha analysis and transits of beneficial planets through the Kshema Nakshatra are often considered supportive for recovery and general good health. However, a complete assessment of health would involve analyzing the 6th, 8th, and 12th houses, their lords, and the overall planetary positions in the birth chart.
