Sun nakshatra pada transit (Surya nakshatra pada gochar) in vedic astrology

In Vedic astrology, Sun nakshatra pada transit refers to the movement of the Sun through the four quarters (Padas) of a Nakshatra. While the Sun changes zodiac signs approximately every 30 days and Nakshatra roughly every 13 to 14 days, it changes Nakshatra Pada approximately every 3 to 4 days.

The Sun represents soul, authority, confidence, father, government, vitality and leadership. When the Sun enters a new Pada, subtle shifts occur in expression, ego and personal direction.
