Thereare27Nakshatras.EveryNakshatrameasures13.20'(13degreesand20minutes).
EachNakshatraisdividedinto4partsof3.20(3degreesand20minutes).Thesepartsarecalledpadas.
Eachpadahasthecharacteristicsofasignofthezodiac,startingwithAries.
Therefore,thepadasystemcanbeseenasasystemwhichintegratestheNakshatraswiththecommonlyusedzodiac.

Therearethreegunasortypesofenergy.
1.First,thereisRajas.Rajasistheenergysparkofthesoulwhichisincarnatingintheworld.Rajasgivesactivity.
2.ThenthereisTamas.Thesoul,whichcomesintothisworld,immersesitselfintomateriality.Tamasisaboutmaterialityandthe
materialworld.
3.Afterthesoulhasencounteredmateriality,itistimeforthesoultoliberateitself.TheenergyofliberationiscalledSattva.Sattva
isaboutgoingbeyondthematerialworld.Itisaboutthesoulwantingtoreturntoitsheavenlyhome.
EachNakshatrarepresentscertaingunas.Anditdoessonotonlyononelevel,butonthreelevels.

THEGUNASATTHREELEVELS
WhatwehavehereisarathercomplicatedsysteminwhicheachNakshatrarepresentscertaingunasondifferentlevels.
LetuslookatthefirstNakshatraofAshwini.OnaprimarylevelAshwinirepresentsRajas,becausetheNakshatraofAshwiniisinthe
rangeofthesignsAriestoCancer.
Onasecondarylevel,AshwinirepresentsagainRajas,becauseitispartofthefirstgroupof3NakshatraswithintherangeofAriesto
Cancer.
Andalso,onatertiarylevelAshwinirepresentsRajas,becauseitisthefirstNakshatraofthefirstgroupof3Nakshatras.
ThereforewesaythatAshwiniisRajasRajasRajas.
ThenextNakshatraBharaniisRajasRajasTamas
Onlythetertiarylevelhaschanged.
NextcomesKrittikawhichisRajasRajasSattva.
Againonlyachangeatthetertiarylevel.
ThenwecometoanewgroupofthreeNakshatras,whichcausesforachangeatthesecondarylevel.ThisgroupdoesnothaveRajas
atthesecondarylevelbutTamas.
Ofcourseatthetertiarylevel,westartagainwithRajas.
SoRohiniisRajasTamasRajas
AndMrigashirshaisRajasTamasTamas
AndArdraisRajasTamasSattva.
NowwecometothethirdgroupofRajasNakshatrasattheprimarylevel.ThesehaveSattvaonthesecondarylevel:
PunarvasuisRajasSattvaRajas
PushyaisRajasSattvaTamas
andAshleshaisRajasSattvaSattva.
Ashlesha,whichislocatedattheendofthesignCancer,isthelastoftheRajasNakshatrasattheprimarylevel.
ThenextNakshatrahasTamasattheprimarylevel.ItistheNakshatraofMaghawhichisplacedatthebeginningofLeo.
MaghaisTamasRajasRajas
PurvaPhalguni,whichisnext,isTamasRajasTamas
Hopefully,thereadernowhasacertainfeelingforthesystemandcaneasilyfinishthisonhisown.AlistofalltheNakshatrasfollows
inthetablebelow.Thegunasarementionedinthisscheme.Theprimarygunaismentionedfirst,thenthesecondaryandthenthe
tertiary.RisRajas,TisTamasandSisSattva
IfyouwouldliketoknowwhichgunasareemphasisedinachartyoucouldlookinwhichNakshatrastheascendantandtheplanets
arelocated,lookatthegunasoftheseNakshatrasandgiveonepointforeachtimeyouseeacertaingunamentioned.
Forexample,thefirstexamplechartinthesectionaboutinterpretationisthechartofBillClintonHehashisascendantinHasta,which
isTamasTamasRajas.Thisgives2pointsforTamasand1pointforRajas.Ifweaddtothisthegunasoftheplanetswegetthe
followingscore:
Rajas10points,Tamas15pointsandSattva5points.ThereforeTamasisthemostimportantgunainthecharacterofMr.Clinton,
thencomesRajasandlastcomesSattva.
WecancomparethistothechartofAlGore(notprintedhere,butbirthdataareMarch31,1948,12.53,TimeZone5West,38.54
North,77.02West).WegetRajas13points,Tamas3pointsandSattva14points.Therefore,AlGorehasaSattva/Rajascharacter

Ofcourse,thissystemishelpful,buttoreallyevaluateachartweshouldalwayslookatthechartasawholeandnotjustatthegunas
