Exact span in the sidereal zodiac

Swati occupies 186° 40' 00" to 200° 00' 00" measured from 0° sidereal Aries — that is 6° 40' 00" Libra (Tula) up to 20° 00' 00" Libra (Tula). 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.
