02 · FOUR PADAS & NAVAMSA (D9) HARMONIC MAPPING

The Four 3° 20' Padas of Pushya & Ninth-Harmonic Dispositors

The lunar mansion Pushya divides into four equal quarters (Padas) of 3° 20' (200 arc-minutes each) that project directly into the Navamsa (D9) harmonic chart. In Pushya, this four-fold partition links the sidereal longitude in Karka to four consecutive Navamsa signs and phonetic seed syllables (Aksharas).

Within the ecliptic structure of Pushya, Hosts Guru Paramochcha (05°00' Karka in Pada 1) and Pushkara Navamsa in Pada 2.
