02 · FOUR PADAS & NAVAMSA (D9) HARMONIC MAPPING

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

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

According to Brihat Samhita Chapter 98 Verse 13 and Chapter 101 Verse 26 and Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra Chapter 46 Verses 112 to 115, Uttara Bhadrapada carries a dhruva and sthira (fixed and contemplative) temperament and a manushya (human) classification. Within the ecliptic structure of Uttara Bhadrapada, Pada 2 (06°40'–10°00' Meena) is a Pushkara Navamsa; hosts Budha Neecha (15°00' Meena in Pada 4).
