What is a Nakshatra?

A Nakshatra is one of 27 divisions of the Moon's path in the traditional sidereal zodiac. Your birth Nakshatra is the division occupied by the Moon at your birth.

What is a Pada?

A Pada is one of four equal parts of a Nakshatra. Each Nakshatra has Padas 1 to 4.

Why does birth time matter?

The Moon moves throughout the day and may change Nakshatra or Pada. Your birth time helps identify which division it occupied; if the time is unknown, more than one result may be possible.
