Degrees are shown within each Rashi (0° to 30°), on the sidereal zodiac. Nine Nakshatras straddle two signs — the Rashi column shows the split and which Pada falls in which sign. Colour associations are commonly published traditional associations, not a single universally agreed classical standard. The Professions column and the Pada-wise careers below are part of Premium. They repeat and refine the Career Tendencies of each Nakshatra profile: a general guide to natural inclinations, not a prediction. A real career reading also looks at the 10th house, its lord, the Dasha and the whole chart.
