Exact span in the sidereal zodiac
Anuradha occupies 213° 20' 00" to 226° 40' 00" measured from 0° sidereal Aries — that is 3° 20' 00" Scorpio (Vrishchika) up to 16° 40' 00" Scorpio (Vrishchika). Every nakshatra is exactly 13°20′ wide, so 27 of them tile the 360° circle with no gap and no overlap.
The four padas
Each pada is 3°20′ wide and corresponds to one navamsa. The pada of your Moon is what fixes the exact starting balance of your first Vimshottari mahadasha.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 3° 20' 00" Scorpio (Vrishchika) | 6° 40' 00" Scorpio (Vrishchika) | Leo (Simha) |
| 2 | 6° 40' 00" Scorpio (Vrishchika) | 9° 60' 00" Scorpio (Vrishchika) | Virgo (Kanya) |
| 3 | 10° 00' 00" Scorpio (Vrishchika) | 13° 20' 00" Scorpio (Vrishchika) | Libra (Tula) |
| 4 | 13° 20' 00" Scorpio (Vrishchika) | 16° 40' 00" Scorpio (Vrishchika) | Scorpio (Vrishchika) |
