Anuradha Pada 4

13°20′ Scorpio to 16°40′ Scorpio · Scorpio navamsha · nakshatra lord Saturn

What this pada means

Every nakshatra divides into four padas, and each quarter falls in a different navamsha sign — which is why two people born under Anuradha can feel markedly different. Pada 4 falls in Scorpio navamsha, which deepens and intensifies it — research, secrecy, and transformative power.

Anuradha's underlying nature — anuradha blooms in difficult soil: friendship, devotion, and success far from home — is filtered through that Scorpio lens here. Where the nakshatra lord Saturn sets the broad theme, the navamsha lord Mars shapes how it actually expresses in life.

Naming (Naamkaran)

A child born in Anuradha pada 4 is traditionally given a name beginning with the syllable "Ne". This links the name to the exact position of the Moon at birth — the reason the pada, not just the nakshatra, is noted on a janma patrika. See Naamkaran muhurat dates.

Career direction

Anuradha natives generally suit international careers, organizational leadership, counseling, diplomacy, devotional and group-oriented work — success through cooperation and persistence. With the Scorpio navamsha of pada 4, the emphasis shifts toward roles where research, secrecy, and transformative power matter most.
