Computed with Swiss Ephemeris (Lahiri ayanamsa).
Our library holds 148 Bollywood personalities with a computed Vedic chart from reliable birth data. 18 of them (12%) have the Moon in Capricorn, like A. R. Rahman, and 8 (5%) share the Dhanishta Nakshatra — the #5 most common Moon Nakshatra among Bollywood personalities, where Swati leads with 10 (7%).
For scale, an even spread would put about 3.7% in each of the 27 Nakshatras and 8.3% in each Moon sign. These are simple counts from our dataset, not a prediction.
