You have the planets of the solar system overlapping with the zodiac wheel there. So for instance, Jupiter overlapped with the Capricorn constellation when I was born. The Indian system is different, the planets and positions have other names. The "nakshatra" that was asked for in the OP is a small section from the 360° ecliptic of the sky/the zodiac wheel where the moon was located at your birth. Each nakshatra has a different symbolism attached to it, like mine is symbolized by a deer. You can calculate your nakshatra here.
Hey this is cool. Thanks! I'm either ASHWINI or REVATI. Most likely Ashwini based on the description though...

General characteristics of Ashwini Star

With dynamism, initiative and action being the general characteristics of Ashwini Nakshatra, the same characterize the personality traits of natives born under this nakshatra. As a matter of fact dynamism and power to initiate are the distinguishing personality traits of native born under the given birth star of Ashwini. Marked by an element of swift spontaneity, natives guided by Ashwini generally prefer action and results to long drawn analysis and inaction. As far as their action oriented personality is concerned, they prefer direct mean of action; over something indirect, thought provoking and tactful. Physical characteristics of natives born under the ascendance of Ashwini Nakshatra include short stature, youthfulness and liveliness. With “Ashwini Kumaras” being the guarding deity of this star sign, a touch of charismatic sophistication and style are also to be traced amongst those born under the said star constellation


It's actually extremely accurate.
