When the lagna or the Moon is in Punarvasa, it often happens that the native is endowed with a penetrating and inspired imagination, supplemented by a love of poetry. The Moon or Jupiter located in the fourth quarter of this nakshatra (which falls in the first part of the constellation Cancer) gives a strong longing for the spiritual life, and can also signify archetypal feminine virtues and qualities.

Punarvasu’s quiver symbolizes potential energy and resources, and ready-to-use arrows represent their consumption. As a quiver, a quiver refers to something that returns to its designated abode and thus represents one’s house or homecoming and, generally speaking, some kind of residence or dwelling. Those in whose horoscopes Punarvasu stands out may be forced to take into their own hands the destinies of people close to them, who for some reason have become outsiders in life, to live with family or friends far from the boring worldly bustle, to be very attached to home, but, like an arrow in a quiver, always ready to shoot somewhere. This can lead to a passion for travel and a dislike of changing places at the same time. Since an arrow can be taken from the quiver, used and then returned to the quiver, then Punarvasu means repetition, restoration of what was and restitution of what was lost or used. The arrow also represents flight and the ability to pierce through its target, whether imaginary or real.
