Questions
What is a pada?
Each nakshatra has four quarters (padas) of 3°20′. The pada gives the naming syllable and the navamsa sign.
Do I need the exact birth time?
The Moon spends about a day in each nakshatra, so a rough time is usually enough. Near a boundary the exact time decides; the result warns you.
