The Moon changes signs (houses) roughly every 2.3 days, taking 28 days to move through the twelve signs of the zodiac. This gives two weeks for a waxing (bright half) Moon and two weeks for a waning (dark half) Moon.

There are 27 nakshatras some texts refer to 28 for specific spiritual purposes. They divides the 360 degrees of entire zodiac into roughly 13.2 degrees of arc per nakshatra. mainly planet moon residing nakshatras taken more importance because moon is mind and emotions, and mind and emotions play very important role in how we receiving the life and we are interacting with others. although any planet shows its specific effects when they come into specific nakshatra.
