The 4 Padas of Rohini Nakshatra

What Each Pada Means for Your Moon Placement

Jun 18, 2026·8 min read·By Saurabh Jain, K.N. Rao Institute

The Short Answer

Each of the 4 padas of Rohini nakshatra carries a different navamsha lord that modifies how the Moon expresses. Pada 1 (Mars), Pada 2 (Venus), Pada 3 (Mercury), Pada 4 (Moon). Each creates a distinctly different personality despite sharing the same nakshatra.

What is a Nakshatra Pada?

A pada is one quarter of a nakshatra. Since each nakshatra spans 13 degrees 20 minutes, each pada spans exactly 3 degrees 20 minutes. The pada system links the 27 nakshatras to the 12 signs through the navamsha (D9) chart, the most important divisional chart in Vedic astrology.

Each pada corresponds to one navamsha sign, and the navamsha lord becomes the sub-ruler that colors how the nakshatra energy expresses in that pada. For Rohini, the four padas land in Aries, Taurus, Gemini, and Cancer navamshas, ruled respectively by Mars, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon.
