This browser calculator finds every interval in a selected local month when the sidereal Moon occupies one of the six nakshatras commonly grouped as Ganda Moola. It joins consecutive names into three readable passages and marks the water-to-fire sign junction inside each passage.
What the calendar includes
The rule covers six names: Ashwini, Ashlesha, Magha, Jyeshtha, Mula, and Revati. Because they touch in pairs across three sidereal sign boundaries, a monthly calendar can present them as three recurring passages:
Each passage starts when the Moon enters the first named nakshatra, crosses the 0° boundary of the following fire sign near the middle, and ends when it leaves the second named nakshatra. The table keeps a period that overlaps the month even when its actual beginning or ending is outside the month. That prevents a clipped first or last row from looking like a fresh event at midnight.
The broader pair and the exact junction answer different questions
The full pair spans two equal nakshatras, or 26°40′ of sidereal longitude. The marked junction is one instant: the Moon crossing from a water rashi into the following fire rashi. Traditions and modern authors can use narrower degree windows when they discuss gandanta. This calculator does not silently turn one such orb into a universal rule. It shows the broad six-name calendar interval and the exact sign seam in separate columns.
Read local time beside UTC
The selected month begins and ends at local midnight under the fixed offset you enter. A passage can therefore belong partly to August in one place and partly to September in another. UTC remains beside every boundary so that two readers can confirm they are looking at the same instant. The calculator does not look up a city or adjust for daylight-saving changes.
The Moon longitude is geocentric, so latitude and longitude are not form inputs. A local sunrise panchanga answers a different question: which nakshatra is present at sunrise and when that day’s limb ends. Use the daily Panchanga or monthly Panchanga for that sunrise context.
Calendar label, not a personal verdict
A transit interval does not tell whether someone was born during it unless a recorded birth instant is compared with the table. Even then, the result identifies one Moon-sector convention. It does not calculate a full Janma Kundali, assess planetary strength, prescribe a rite, or predict an outcome for a child or relative. The Janma Nakshatra finder is the direct birth-position tool.
