About this pada

Pada 4 of Anuradha runs from Vrishchika 13°20′ to Vrishchika 16°40′ (3°20′ in all). This pada lies in Vrishchika; its navamsa is Vrishchika, ruled by Mars. The nakshatra's lord is Saturn, so a birth in this pada begins with the Saturn mahadasha. In the avakahada chakra (tradition), the name syllable of this pada is 'ने' (Ne). Here the sign and the navamsa are the same (Vrishchika); this is called vargottama.

What tradition holds

Astrology associates Anuradha with friendship, cooperation, loyalty and bringing people together. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: determination, deep insight, being trusted with confidences, and staying the course through hard times. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
