Exact span in the sidereal zodiac
Ashlesha occupies 106° 40' 00" to 120° 00' 00" measured from 0° sidereal Aries — that is 16° 40' 00" Cancer (Karka) up to 0° 00' 00" Leo (Simha). 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.
| Pada | From | To | Navamsa sign |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 16° 40' 00" Cancer (Karka) | 19° 60' 00" Cancer (Karka) | Sagittarius (Dhanu) |
| 2 | 20° 00' 00" Cancer (Karka) | 23° 20' 00" Cancer (Karka) | Capricorn (Makara) |
| 3 | 23° 20' 00" Cancer (Karka) | 26° 40' 00" Cancer (Karka) | Aquarius (Kumbha) |
