“6. Padas nakshatra Utara Bhadrapada

А. First Pada (3°20′ – 6°40′ Pisces)
The first Pada starts from 3°20′ Pisces and continues till 6°40′ Pisces. This Pada is associated with the energies of Leo, which brings the material needs and selfishness of man to the forefront. The qualities of royalty and pompousness are manifested here. All planets in this Pada realize their functions through the energy of royalty. However, there are no planets in this Pada that are falling or exalted, so in general the planets feel neutral.

Б. Second Pada (6°40′ – 10° Pisces)
The second Pada begins at 6°40′ Pisces and continues to 10° Pisces. This is the Pada of Virgo and people born in this Pada are subject to opinion and criticism. The functions of planets in this Pada manifest through thorough logic and practicality, which relegates spirituality to the background. Mercury, which is exalted, is at its best here, due to which logical and intellectual chains are strengthened. At the same time, Venus falls in this Pada, making the person fussy, critical, and attracted to material desires, which prevents the inner beauty from fully unfolding.

В. Third Pada (10° – 13°20′ Pisces)
The Third Pada begins at 10° Pisces and continues to 13°20′ Pisces. This is the Pada of Libra, which leads to profound transformation and global changes in life. Libra requires partnership, balance and abandonment of individuality, which promotes unexpected change leading to success. The Sun is weak here because it is in decline, but Saturn, on the other hand, is very strong because it is in its own Nakshatra and in Pad exaltation. This causes people born in this Pada to have innate qualities of austerity, discipline and wisdom, and adhere to strict rules in their lives.

Г. Fourth Pada (13°20′ – 16°40′ Pisces)
The Fourth Pada begins at 13°20′ Pisces and continues till 16°40′ Pisces. This is the Pada of Scorpio, which is associated with change, heightened intuition and hidden knowledge. The Moon and Rahu do not feel at their best here: Moon causes a storm of emotions and violent change, for which the person is not ready morally, and Rahu creates a sense of constraint and impossibility to achieve the planned. However, for Ketu this is an excellent position, as he feels at ease, receives the wisdom of past lives and acquires high spirituality, sacrifice and patience.
