Vargottama. The navamsa sign is the rashi itself (Scorpio), so a Moon here is vargottama: the same sign in the birth chart and the navamsa, which the texts read as a steady, strong Moon.
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 4 sends it into a Scorpio navamsa, ruled by Mangal. The navamsa (D9) is the chart read for marriage and for the strength behind a placement, so in this pada Mangal colours what Anuradha gives.
By natural friendship Mangal counts Shani neutral, and Shani counts Mangal 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 water navamsa makes this a Moksha pada, turned towards release, inner life and letting go.
