Anuradha pada 1

Where Anuradha pada 1 is
3°20′ of the zodiac, and what falls in itAnuradha pada 1 is the first 3°20′ of Anuradha, 3°20′ Scorpio – 6°40′ Scorpio, in Scorpio. A Moon here is named by the syllable Na and falls in a Leo navamsa.
What this pada adds
its navamsa and its aimAnuradha in Brihat Jataka (16.9) Brihat Jataka says a person born with the Moon in Anuradha is wealthy, lives away from their homeland and moves from place to place, and cannot bear hunger. (Chapter 16 reads several nakshatras in each verse, one after another.) The text reads the nakshatra as a whole; the pada refines it through its navamsa, below.
Anuradha gives the Moon its nature through Shani; pada 1 sends it into a Leo navamsa, ruled by Surya. The navamsa (D9) is the chart read for marriage and for the strength behind a placement, so in this pada Surya colours what Anuradha gives.
By natural friendship Surya counts Shani an enemy, and Shani counts Surya an enemy, so the two pull against each other and the pada asks for balance.
The pada tradition reads each quarter by its navamsa’s element: a fire navamsa makes this a Dharma pada, turned towards right conduct, duty and purpose.
