Exact span in the sidereal zodiac
Shatabhisha occupies 306° 40' 00" to 320° 00' 00" measured from 0° sidereal Aries — that is 6° 40' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) up to 20° 00' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha). 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 | 6° 40' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) | 9° 60' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) | Sagittarius (Dhanu) |
| 2 | 10° 00' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) | 13° 20' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) | Capricorn (Makara) |
| 3 | 13° 20' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) | 16° 40' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) | Aquarius (Kumbha) |
| 4 | 16° 40' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) | 19° 60' 00" Aquarius (Kumbha) | Pisces (Meena) |
