Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “gana” thing pop up in astrology discussions lately, and honestly, I was totally clueless. It sounded vaguely familiar, but I couldn’t place it. So, I decided to do a little digging and figure out what it’s all about. My journey began with a simple question: “what does gana mean in astrology?”

The Initial Search
First, I just Googled it. You know, the usual. Typed in “gana astrology meaning” and hoped for the best. I scrolled through a bunch of websites, and most of them were pretty dense with jargon. I’m no astrology expert, so a lot of it went right over my head. I just wanted a simple explanation!
Finding a Decent Resource
I stumbled upon these pages with some seemingly detailed explanations. I found myself reading a few of the articles about the topic. The explanations seemed complex, I wanted to test out if it was correct.
My Experiment – The Birth Chart
I started this dive by getting my own birth chart.I entered my birth details (date, time, and place) and waited a few seconds and there it was, I had my Nakshatra and my Gana!
Putting It All Together
Now that I knew my own, it was time to link it back. I went back to the articles and notes.

I began putting it together from what I was reading.
- Deva (divine): These folks are supposedly gentle, generous, and all-around good people.
- Manushya (human): This one’s a mixed bag, apparently. They can be good or bad, kind of like, well, humans.
- Rakshasa (demon): Okay, this one sounds scary, but it’s not necessarily bad. It supposedly means you’re strong-willed, maybe a bit stubborn, and protective of what’s yours.
So, I’m a Manushya. Which made sense. I’m just a regular dude, trying to figure things out, I have my good and bad. I found it fun to learn something new!

This whole gana thing was a fun little detour. I’m not sure how much I buy into all of it, but it was interesting to learn about a different aspect of astrology. It shows you how much there is in astrology and I’ve only just scratched the surface.
