The fourth quarter of Revati: a Pisces navamsa, naam akshar Chi, and a birth that starts in Budh’s mahadasha with 4.3 years to almost none of it left.
Revati pada 4 is the fourth 3°20′ of Revati, 26°40′ Pisces – 0°00′ Aries, in Pisces. A Moon here is named by the syllable Chi and falls in a Pisces navamsa.
Vargottama. The navamsa sign is the rashi itself (Pisces), 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.
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.
Revati in Brihat Jataka (16.14) Brihat Jataka says a person born with the Moon in Revati is well formed in body, liked by everyone, deeply learned and wealthy, and never covets what belongs to others. (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.
Revati 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 Revati 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.

A Moon in Revati starts life in the mahadasha of Budh, 17 years in all. How much is left at birth depends on how far the Moon had gone: at the start of pada 4 it is 4.3 years, at its end almost none.
A suggestion, as your faith allows: the grahas this pada answers to, each on its own day.
23 March 1985, 11:00, New Delhi: the Moon at 27.7° Pisces, in Revati pada 4, with Gemini rising. The engine gives 2 years, 11 months, 6 days of Budh’s mahadasha left at birth.
In the 8,349 real births the site’s figures are counted on, 0.96% had the Moon in this pada, about one in 104.
Chi (ची). A child born with the Moon in this pada is traditionally given a name beginning with it.
Rashi Pisces, navamsa Pisces (vargottama). It runs 26°40′ Pisces to 0°00′ Aries.
Budh, with 4.3 years to almost none of its 17 years left at birth, depending on the Moon’s exact degree.
Yes, and it is a gandanta pada, the water-fire junction. The six, and when the shanti is done, are explained above.
It needs a birth time, because the Moon crosses a nakshatra in about a day. The free kundli gives you the nakshatra, the pada and the dasha that follows from it.
