Four quarters (padas)
Every nakshatra divides into four parts of 3°20' each. The quarter refines the shade — the same nakshatra in a different pada works a little differently, because each corresponds to a different sign in the navamsha (D9).
| Pada | Range | Navamsha sign |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10°00'00" Taurus — 13°20'00" Taurus | ♈︎ Aries |
| 2 | 13°20'00" Taurus — 16°40'00" Taurus | ♉︎ Taurus |
| 3 | 16°40'00" Taurus — 19°60'00" Taurus | ♊︎ Gemini |
| 4 | 20°00'00" Taurus — 23°20'00" Taurus | ♋︎ Cancer |
Compatibility with other nakshatras
Calculated classically — through nadi (life energy) and yoni (the nakshatra's animal), the same tables as the full Guna Milan. It's a pointer, not a verdict: a low score marks an area for conscious work, not an obstacle.
Works well with: Mrigashira, Ashwini, Bharani, Ardra, Punarvasu, Pushya
Needs attention with: Krittika, Ashlesha, Magha, Swati, Vishakha
Not sure if this is your nakshatra?
The Moon crosses one nakshatra in about a day, so your time of birth is needed. We'll calculate it from ephemerides — along with the pada and your full birth chart.
