The four padas of Jyeshtha
Pada 1Vrischika 16°40′
Pada 2Vrischika 20°00′
Pada 3Vrischika 23°20′
Pada 4Vrischika 26°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 Jyeshtha? A birth under Jyeshtha begins life inside the Mercury 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.
