What this pada adds
its navamsa and its aimPurva Bhadrapada in Brihat Jataka (16.13) Brihat Jataka says a person born with the Moon in Purva Bhadrapada is clear of speech and skilled at earning money, and leaves the household’s wealth in his wife’s hands. The verse also speaks of sorrow and of a tight fist. (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.
Purva Bhadrapada gives the Moon its nature through Guru; pada 3 sends it into a Gemini navamsa, ruled by Budh. The navamsa (D9) is the chart read for marriage and for the strength behind a placement, so in this pada Budh colours what Purva Bhadrapada gives.
By natural friendship Budh counts Guru neutral, and Guru counts Budh 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: an air navamsa makes this a Kama pada, turned towards desire, relationships and enjoyment.
