There are 27 Nakshatras in Vedic Jyotish. The 14th, which is Chitra Nakshatra, is the central one with 13 Nakshatras on either side. Even with the scheme of 28 Nakshatras (including Abhijit) mentioned in Vedas, the central point does not deviate much from Chitra.

Thread on Swastik and Swasti Vachan (listen video).
In it, we will learn how our Rishi-Munis visualized Swastik in sky and why our Vedas inherently confirm the impact of Nakshatras upon us & how closely constellations have been mapped in Sanatan culture.
RT too.
There are 27 Nakshatras in Vedic Jyotish. The 14th, which is Chitra Nakshatra, is the central one with 13 Nakshatras on either side. Even with the scheme of 28 Nakshatras (including Abhijit) mentioned in Vedas, the central point does not deviate much from Chitra.
Last Nakshatra Revati is almost 180° away from it. The line might not be straight, but for the purpose of visualization, a small variation would not bother. In this way, Sharavan Nakshatra is about 90° away from Chitra & Pushya Nakshatra is about 90° away from Revati.
So, Pushya, Chitra, Shravan and Revati Nakshatras constitute mutually right angles and can be visualized as the four cardinal points of Zodiac. If lines are drawn to connect them, a "+" would be formed. A Parikrama is followed, that is, it appears from left to right.
Swastik becomes naturally evident when four points are joined with cross lines and direction arrows.
But how does Swasti Vachan (video) in first tweet signify Swastik and pray for benevolent impact of Nakshatras upon us? Let us read some names mentioned in Swasti Vachan.
May the Vradhhashrava (one who has enlarged/longer earlobes) Indra, the omniscient Pusha, the never perishing Garuda and Brihaspati bless us with all the well-beings (Swasti) in all ways .
In Vedic texts (Taitteeriya Samhita), the ruling deity of Chitra is Indra.
The deity of the next Nakshatra Revati is Pusha or Sun. He is considered the resource of all knowledge (Vishvaveda). He is also one of the Pravartakas of Jyotish as per many revered minds. So, Pusha in this Mantra directly implies Revati Nakshatra by invoking of Surya/Sun.
The word Tarkshya (Tri + Riksha) means three stars, which is direct reference to Shravan which also has three stars. Tarkshya also means Garuda who is Vaahan (carrier) of Vishnu Bhagwan. Vedic texts mention Vishnu as the presiding deity of Shravan Nakshatra.
The use of word Brihaspati is a direct reference to Pushya Nakshatra. Brihaspati is also the deity of this Nakshatra. It is known to be the Janma Nakshatra of Brihaspati.
Thus, all 4 points including centre Chitra, each about 90° apart, have been named in Swasti shloka.

In ancient times, our grandparents used to follow typical natural way of caring the needs of a child. All they used were more of natural products than chemical based for the growth of child.
One of major step followed was to feed Gurbach Jadd/ Vasa Kommu/ Acorus Calamus for initiating good speech ability in a child. This stem was needed to babies on Tuesdays and Sundays in mother's milk.
Vasa is feed to baby after the 1st bath on 12th day in week. Weekly only thrice it is fed and named as :
Budhwar - Budhi Vasa
Mangalwar - Vaak Vasa
Ravi Vaar - Aayush Vasa
This stem is burnt and rubbed against the grinding stone in mother's milk or warm water to get a paste

It should not be given daily to the child. Other main benefits are
1. It clears the phlegm in child's throat caused due to continuous milk intake. It clears the tracts and breathing is effortless.
2. Digestion
For children who haven't got their speech and is delayed than usual should feed this vasa on these days in week atleast for 6months. Don't get carried away with this dialogue
"Some gain speech little late"
