Exact span in the sidereal zodiac

Magha occupies 120° 00' 00" to 133° 20' 00" measured from 0° sidereal Aries — that is 0° 00' 00" Leo (Simha) up to 13° 20' 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.
