Exact span in the sidereal zodiac
Mula occupies 240° 00' 00" to 253° 20' 00" measured from 0° sidereal Aries — that is 0° 00' 00" Sagittarius (Dhanu) up to 13° 20' 00" Sagittarius (Dhanu). 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 | 0° 00' 00" Sagittarius (Dhanu) | 3° 20' 00" Sagittarius (Dhanu) | Aries (Mesha) |
| 2 | 3° 20' 00" Sagittarius (Dhanu) | 6° 40' 00" Sagittarius (Dhanu) | Taurus (Vrishabha) |
| 3 | 6° 40' 00" Sagittarius (Dhanu) | 9° 60' 00" Sagittarius (Dhanu) | Gemini (Mithuna) |
| 4 | 10° 00' 00" Sagittarius (Dhanu) | 13° 20' 00" Sagittarius (Dhanu) | Cancer (Karka) |
