Birth DashaMars Mahadasha opens the chart
The four padas of Chitra
Pada 1Kanya 23°20′
Pada 2Kanya 26°40′
Pada 3Tula 0°00′
Pada 4Tula 3°20′
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 Chitra? A birth under Chitra begins life inside the Mars 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.
