Gandanta. This pada sits on the junction where a water sign ends and a fire sign begins; tradition treats a birth here with care and keeps a Gand Mool shanti for it.
Gand Mool are the six nakshatras on the seams where a water sign gives way to a fire sign: Ashwini, Magha and Mula, ruled by Ketu, and Ashlesha, Jyeshtha and Revati, ruled by Budh. The Mool shanti is traditionally done on the 27th day after birth, when the Moon returns to the birth nakshatra.
What this pada adds
its navamsa and its aimJyeshtha in Brihat Jataka (16.10) Brihat Jataka says a person born with the Moon in Jyeshtha is cheerful and virtuous but quick to anger, and has few friends. (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.
Jyeshtha gives the Moon its nature through Budh; pada 4 sends it into a Pisces navamsa, ruled by Guru. The navamsa (D9) is the chart read for marriage and for the strength behind a placement, so in this pada Guru colours what Jyeshtha gives.
By natural friendship Guru counts Budh an enemy, and Budh counts Guru neutral, 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.
