Jyeshtha Nakshatra Pada 2
The 2nd quarter of Jyeshtha: moon sign Vrishchika (Scorpio), navamsa Makara, naming syllable Ya.
What the pada decides
A nakshatra spans 13°20' of the zodiac and each pada 3°20'. The pada fixes three things: the naming syllable, the navamsa sign that astrologers read for marriage, and — for the nine nakshatras that straddle two moon signs — the rashi itself. Jyeshtha sits entirely within Vrishchika, so the pada changes the navamsa and the syllable but not the moon sign.
Padas also matter in nadi dosha: several classical exemptions apply when two people share a nakshatra but were born in different padas — one reason the birth time is worth finding.
