The four padas
Each nakshatra divides into four padas of 3°20′, and each pada lands in a different navamsa sign. Two people born a day apart can share Uttara Phalguni and still run visibly different lives, because the pada changes which sign the ninth harmonic puts them in — which is why an app that stops at the sign is stopping too early.
| Pada | Range | Navamsa |
|---|---|---|
| Pada 1 | 26°40′–30° Le | Sagittarius (Jupiter) |
| Pada 2 | 0°–3°20′ Vi | Capricorn (Saturn) |
| Pada 3 | 3°20′–6°40′ Vi | Aquarius (Saturn) |
| Pada 4 | 6°40′–10° Vi | Pisces (Jupiter) |
Why the nakshatra is the clock
The Moon's nakshatra at birth decides which planetary period a life starts in and the whole sequence that follows — the Vimshottari dasha. That is the single most practical thing in this system and it costs nothing to check: the app computes your dashas from exactly this, on your device, and shows you the dates.
Uttara Phalguni is ruled by Sun, so a Moon here begins life in a Sun period, at whatever point of it the Moon's exact degree had already run through.
