Chart Basics
Pada
Also known as: Nakshatra quarter
Pada is one of the four quarters inside a Nakshatra.
Plain-English Meaning
Each Nakshatra has four Padas. The Pada gives a more precise subdivision of the Moon or planet position.
Why It Matters
Pada-level claims need accurate degrees. Guessing from a birth date alone is not reliable.
How myjataka Uses It
The Nakshatra calculator shows Pada when the Moon degree is available from birth data.
