What this pada adds
its navamsa and its aimUttara Phalguni in Brihat Jataka (16.7) Brihat Jataka says a person born with the Moon in Uttara Phalguni is well liked, earns by their learning and lives in comfort. (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.
Uttara Phalguni gives the Moon its nature through Surya; pada 2 sends it into a Capricorn navamsa, ruled by Shani. The navamsa (D9) is the chart read for marriage and for the strength behind a placement, so in this pada Shani colours what Uttara Phalguni gives.
By natural friendship Shani counts Surya an enemy, and Surya counts Shani 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 earth navamsa makes this an Artha pada, turned towards livelihood, wealth and security.
Names for To (टो)
the naam akshar of this pada, for a namkaranAlmost no Hindi names begin with To (टो). Families then often choose a name that begins with the nearest sound, or one of the nakshatra’s other syllables, and use To in the namkaran rite itself.
