The four padas
- Pada 1 : 16°40′ Pisces – 20°00′ Pisces · navamsa ♐︎ Sagittarius
- Pada 2 : 20°00′ Pisces – 23°20′ Pisces · navamsa ♑︎ Capricorn
- Pada 3 : 23°20′ Pisces – 26°40′ Pisces · navamsa ♒︎ Aquarius
- Pada 4 : 26°40′ Pisces – 30°00′ Pisces · navamsa ♓︎ Pisces
Each pada covers 3°20′. The 108 padas run through the zodiac nine times: the navamsa is the sign of that second cycle, which Vedic astrology reads as a shade of the first.
