Where Punarvasu pada 1 is
3°20′ of the zodiac, and what falls in itPunarvasu pada 1 is the first 3°20′ of Punarvasu, 20°00′ Gemini – 23°20′ Gemini, in Gemini. A Moon here is named by the syllable Ke and falls in a Aries navamsa.
What this pada adds
its navamsa and its aimPunarvasu in Brihat Jataka (16.4) Brihat Jataka says a person born with the Moon in Punarvasu is devout and patient, good-natured and quiet, lives in comfort and is pleased with little. The verse also gives judgement that sometimes errs, frequent illness and a great thirst. (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.
Punarvasu gives the Moon its nature through Guru; pada 1 sends it into a Aries 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 Punarvasu gives.
By natural friendship Mangal counts Guru a friend, and Guru counts Mangal a friend, so the navamsa supports what the nakshatra gives.
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.

The Mool shanti is traditionally done on the 27th day after birth, when the Moon returns to the birth nakshatra.
