The four padas
- Pada 1 : 10°00′ Capricorn – 13°20′ Capricorn · navamsa ♈︎ Aries
- Pada 2 : 13°20′ Capricorn – 16°40′ Capricorn · navamsa ♉︎ Taurus
- Pada 3 : 16°40′ Capricorn – 20°00′ Capricorn · navamsa ♊︎ Gemini
- Pada 4 : 20°00′ Capricorn – 23°20′ Capricorn · navamsa ♋︎ Cancer
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.
