Purva Bhadrapada (पूर्वाभाद्रपद) is one of the 27 Nakshatras (lunar mansions) in Vedic astrology. Each Nakshatra spans 13°20' of the zodiac and has 4 Padas (quarters). Your Nakshatra is determined by the Moon's position at your birth time and provides the most precise astrological predictions.

While there are only 12 zodiac signs, there are 27 Nakshatras, making them more specific. Each Nakshatra also has 4 Padas, giving 108 possible positions. This granularity allows for more personalized predictions than Sun or Moon sign horoscopes alone.

Pada syllables (also called Nakshatra Akshar) are used in the traditional Hindu naming ceremony (Namkaran Sanskara). Each of the 4 Padas has a specific starting syllable that is considered auspicious for naming a child born under that Nakshatra Pada.

To find your Nakshatra, you need your exact birth time, date, and place. The Moon moves through all 27 Nakshatras in about a month, spending roughly one day in each. Create your free Kundli on AstroNidan to discover your birth Nakshatra and Pada.
