The nature of Uttara Bhadrapada
Calm, deep and patient. Thinks before acting.
A nakshatra adds detail to your rashi. Two people with the same rashi can feel quite different if their Moon sits in different nakshatras.
The four padas of Uttara Bhadrapada
Each nakshatra is split into four quarters called padas, each 3°20′ wide. Padas are used for small details, like the first letter of a baby's name.
- Pada 1 starts at 3°20′ Meen (Pisces). Its navamsha sign is Simha (Leo).
- Pada 2 starts at 6°40′ Meen (Pisces). Its navamsha sign is Kanya (Virgo).
- Pada 3 starts at 10°00′ Meen (Pisces). Its navamsha sign is Tula (Libra).
- Pada 4 starts at 13°20′ Meen (Pisces). Its navamsha sign is Vrishchik (Scorpio).
Uttara Bhadrapada and your dasha
If the Moon was in Uttara Bhadrapada when you were born, your life starts in the Saturn (Shani) mahadasha. How much of it is left at birth depends on how far the Moon had moved through Uttara Bhadrapada.
