Did you know that Chandra (Moon God) was married to the twenty seven daughters of sage Daksha, son of Lord Brahma (God of Creation)???
Those 27 daughters are the 27 Nakshatras or lunar mansions.
When Daksha gave away his 27 daughters on marriage to Chandra, Daksha asked for a promise that Chandra would never look down upon any of his daughters and would treat all the 27 daughters with love, care and equality. And, Chandra too promised sage Daksha that he will love and care all his wives equally.
This is why the Moon moves through one Nakshatra each day (approximately) and goes full circle through all the nakshatras in one month!
It is amazing how the ancient Indian mythological stories give us an easy handle to access the workings of the heavens.
