Each nakshatra spans 13°20′ and divides into four quarters of 3°20′. Which quarter the Moon fell in decides the navamsa — the divisional chart where a placement's real strength shows — so two people sharing a star but not a pada read differently.
Matching
The ten poruthams are judged from the birth star, so Chitra can be weighed against all twenty-seven without either birth time.

Gana, nadi, yoni and rajju mean something only when two charts are matched.
