Though there is a total of twenty-seven Nakshatras in the zodiac, Vedic astrology also tends to include the 28th one - the Abhijeet Nakshatra. The Abhijeet Nakshatra is a special Nakshatra, which means the undefeated one.

Some mythological tales which speaks about Abhijeet says that once the zodiac had 28 Nakshatras including Abhijeet in the cycle of Nakshatras. But as time passed, this nakshatra lost its place in the zodiac. And now, in Kaliyug or the dark age - the age in which live, it is said to be hidden. Abhijeet now falls in the last quarter of Uttara Ashadha Nakshatra and 1st quarter of Shravana Nakshatra starting from 6°40' Capricorn and ending at 10°53' Capricorn.

This is how in modern world astronomy, the Abhijit Nakshatra is not a separate Nakshatra in the observable sky.
