Astro pathy,

 

There are 12 Houses, spanning 30 degrees each creating a 360 degree

zodiac (12x30).

 

The 12 signs mapped into these 12 Houses are:

 

Aries (Ruled by Mars)

Taurus (Ruled by Venus)

Gemini (Ruled by Mercury)

 

Cancer (Ruled by Moon)

Leo (Ruled by Sun)

 

Virgo (Ruled by Mercury)

Libra (Ruled by Venus)

Scorpio (Ruled by Mars / Ketu)

 

Saggitarius (Ruled by Jupiter)

Capricorn (Ruled by Saturn)

Aquarius (Ruled by Saturn / Rahu)

Pisces (Ruled by Jupiter)

 

The above signs can further be divided into 27 Asterisms, or

Nakshatras of 13 Degrees and 20 minutes. The last one, Abhijit is used

for Muhurutha, so come classify these as 28 further subdivisions.

 

Each Nakshatra can further be broken down into 4 Padas (of 3 degrees

20 minutes), representing Dharma / Artha / Kaama / Moksha.

 

Here is a Nakshatra table, along with some other details:

The heavenly bodies in the zodiac are positioned at certain degrees.

 

For example, consider a planet at 15 13 degrees 31 minutes Scorpio.

 

We can say that Scorpio is lorded by Mars.

The degree of the Moon fall in the Nakshatra of Anuradha.

The Moon is in the 4th Pada of the Nakshatra of Anuradha.

The degrees the Moon's Nakshatra is lorded by -- is Saturn.

 

Use the above for interpretation, as you would apply any rules.

 

Hope that some of this helps you.

 

Take care.

Nitin.
