The four padas of Krittika
Pada 1Mesha 26°40′
Pada 2Vrishabha 0°00′
Pada 3Vrishabha 3°20′
Pada 4Vrishabha 6°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 Krittika? A birth under Krittika begins life inside the Sun 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.
