The four padas of Ardra
Pada 1Mithuna 6°40′
Pada 2Mithuna 10°00′
Pada 3Mithuna 13°20′
Pada 4Mithuna 16°40′
Each pada is 3°20′ — a quarter of the nakshatra. The Moon's pada refines the reading and, in the navamsha, decides which sign the Moon's strength flows to.
Moon in Ardra? A birth under Ardra begins life inside the Rahu mahadasha, and the nakshatra's lord colours the mind's first instincts. Your exact pada and the dasha balance at birth are part of your free kundli.
