Pushya Nakshatra Pada 2
The 2nd quarter of Pushya: moon sign Karka (Cancer), navamsa Kanya, naming syllable He.
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. Pushya sits entirely within Karka, 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.
