The Pada's of Nakshatra's

To further understand the manifestation of a planet in a Nakshatra one must study the pada it is contained within. The pada itself is simply a 3.20 degree division of each Nakshatra that represents a divided section of the Nakshatra into 1/4 divination. The purpose of these pada's are seen in the D9 Chart separate from the birth chart which will be explained below.

In the D-9 Divisional Chart the Pada will show the planet moving into a new sign and house different from what the birth chart shows. The purpose of the planet changing signs and houses relates to what the D-9 Chart itself represents; spiritual growth. The pada of the planet changing will show how the planet is maturing as the chart holder grows older. Basically the pada of a planet in a Nakshatra shows the true expression of the planet later in life in the D9 Chart. A basic and easy way to sum it up is to Load a D-9 Chart and that chart will be projection of how life is lived after maturity is achieved.
