Ardra Nakshatra: Name Letters, Padas and Nature

Ardra padas and name letters (naam akshar)

Each nakshatra has four padas (quarters) of 3°20′. A child born with the Moon in a pada traditionally gets a name starting with its syllable. For Ardra:

Ardra nature

Intellectual, intense and transformative; storms in your life tend to clear the way for growth. You think deeply and question everything.

Manushya gana natives are said to be practical and balanced, at home in worldly life.

Dasha at birth

Born with the Moon in Ardra, your Vimshottari dasha begins with Rahu, whose full period is 18 years. How much of it is left at birth depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra.

In Kundli matching

Gana, yoni and nadi come from the nakshatra and count for 6, 4 and 8 of the 36 points in Ashtakoota matching. The same nadi for both partners is the one traditionally avoided.

Match two kundlis

Name letters follow the traditional Avakahada chakra. Spellings of a few letters vary between regions.
