As a cultural historian, I recognize the 27 nakshatras as lunar mansions from Vedic astrology, each divided into four padas for finer astrological detail. You'd typically need your birth time and a panchang to find your specific birth star. But I've seen how these celestial systems, for all their intricate logic, are often bent to fit a desired fortune. My father never consulted nakshatras for his jalebis; his fate was measured in the crispness of a coil and the price of a kilo of besan—the true stars that kept our shop standing.
