" OM GAM GANAPATAYE NAMAHA"
LESSON-2
First the zodiac was divided into 12 main rasis, to
study the effects of the planets placed there. Then the ancient seers added
another sub divisional system of breaking down the zodiac into 27 Nakshatras or
star constellations. Each nakshatra has a span of 13 degrees and 20 minutes.
After that each nakshatra was further subdivided into 4 Padas, or quarters, of
3 degrees and 20 minutes. Hence the first zodiac sign Aries, which has 30
degrees, contains the entire 4 padas (13:20′) of the 1st star constellation
Ashwini, the entire 4 padas (13:20′) of the 2nd star constellation Bharani and
the 1st pada (3:20′) of the third star constellation Krittika. So each rasi
contains total 9 padas. These nakshatras belong to three main groups: Deva or
divine, Manusha or human and Rakshasa or Demonic. They have different ruling
deities, owned by different planets and have divergent qualities. Hence while
studying the effects of a planet placed in Aries, it is also studied in which
nakshatra it is placed and in which pada of that nakshatra it is placed. This
system of analysis exists only in Indian astrology.
