The 4 padas of Rohini
| Pada | Degrees | Navamsa (D9) | Pada lord | Name syllable |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pada 1 | 40°00′–43°20′ | Mesha | Mars | O |
| Pada 2 | 43°20′–46°40′ | Vrishabha | Venus | Va |
| Pada 3 | 46°40′–50°00′ | Vrishabha | Venus | Vi |
| Pada 4 | 50°00′–53°20′ | Karka | Moon | Vu |
Each pada is exactly one navamsa (3°20′), so the pada sets the D9 sign that refines a reading. The name syllable (akshar) is the traditional avakahada-chakra starting sound for a baby born in that pada — see baby names for Rohini →.
