What this quarter carries
Magha pada 3 adds communication skill and social coordination to Magha's natural leadership.
Why the four quarters differ
A nakshatra is 13°20' wide and divides into four padas of 3°20'. Each pada is one navamsa, so the four quarters of Magha fall in four consecutive navamsa signs — this one in Gemini. The birth star supplies the impulse; the navamsa decides what it is pointed at. That is why two people sharing Magha are not reading the same chart.
This quarter spans 126°40' to 130°00' of the zodiac measured from the start of Aries.
What is crossing it
Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu hold a pada for weeks or months, so these are periods rather than moments. Dates are to the day.
