Exact span in the sidereal zodiac
Uttara Ashadha occupies 266° 40' 00" to 280° 00' 00" measured from 0° sidereal Aries — that is 26° 40' 00" Sagittarius (Dhanu) up to 10° 00' 00" Capricorn (Makara). 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.

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 26° 40' 00" Sagittarius (Dhanu) | 29° 60' 00" Sagittarius (Dhanu) | Sagittarius (Dhanu) |
| 2 | 0° 00' 00" Capricorn (Makara) | 3° 20' 00" Capricorn (Makara) | Capricorn (Makara) |
| 3 | 3° 20' 00" Capricorn (Makara) | 6° 40' 00" Capricorn (Makara) | Aquarius (Kumbha) |
