Kritika is wife of Moon and daughter of Daksh Prjapati, her deity is Agni Dev, ruling planet of Kritika nakshatra is Sun, this nakshatra is associated with our head. First pada falls under Aries and rest three padas under Taurus.

Pada 1 = Agni, which is Dharma, ⚑ Energy
Pada 2 = Prithvi, which is Artha, 🐟 Possession
Pada 3 = Vayu, which is Kama, πŸ’Ÿ Emotions / greed / lust / jealousy / desire etc..
Pada 4 = Jal, which is Moksha, 🧠 Intelligent / Memory / Vedic Knowledge

During the Satya yuga all the four padas were strong, when there was a planet in a particular nakshatra, but now in Kaliyuga, only active pada is supposed to be strong in one’s chart. If your planets are in mostly in pada-1, your mind and karma will be dharmic, if pada-2, your mind and karma will bring in wealth, if pada-3, your mind and karma will be in kama (greed, taste, relationship, journey, jealousy, lust, etc.), if pada-4, your mind and karma would like to gain true knowledge and would also be dharmic.

If does not mean that you would not enjoy the rest (Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha).

Also, these four padas are ruled by different planets apart from the main ruling planet, that tells us how the experience would be.

Dev Gana, Manushya Gana, Rakshasa Gana

The 27 constellations of our 12 zodiac signs are divided into 3 parts – Dev Gana, Manushya Gana, Rakshasa Gana. (There are 9 Nakshatras in each gana)

There are 27 Nakshatras in Vedic astrology, in which each Nakshatra has 4 positions. There are 108 positions in total which are divided into our 12 zodiac signs.

Opposite Nakshatras by Pada

Rising and setting Nakshatras at a given time. It is good idea to have a look at the opposite Nakshatra of your rising or active nakshatra. Especially your Moon and Ascendant Nakshatras. AND all the other planets also rise and set every day at their own time, that makes more sense to have a look at the opposite, which is setting point of the planets. You can also think of Rahu & Ketu to understand this opposite Nakshatra concept, this means your Nakshatra at the 180 degree is your back balenace (Ketu).
