By observing the rotation of moon around the earth and the rotation of the earth, Indian astrologers explained about the twelve zodiac sign stars, 27 nakshatras, 30 days of a month phase, a year of 12 months and to add one more month in every third year to maintain the difference between solar and lunar year.
