Nakshatra Pushya

Pushya (3°20′ -16°40′ Cancer)
Varahamihira: The Moon in Pushya creates people who are able to tame their passions, who have, as a rule, a blooming appearance, are knowledgeable in various sciences and love to make broad gestures.

General instructions: Pushya’s symbol (“Nourisher”) is an udder oozing with milk, and her deity is Brihaspati, the planet Jupiter, who is the priest and preceptor of the gods. Pushya’s old name is Tisha (“Auspicious”) and another synonym is Sidhya (“Prosperous”), both indicating her ability to nourish on all levels of being – physical, emotional, mental, material and spiritual. Pushya is associated with abundance, growth, capacity and in general with all the best, which can mean fullness or fatness. Pushya promotes popularity, but also self-sacrifice and charity, that is, he comes exactly like a cow, who is known to give her milk equally willingly to people and her calf.

Since the Moon is a nurturing planet by nature, the Moon in Pushsha can indicate a very persistent desire to nurture and grow both physically, emotionally and mentally. Other planets in Pushya often indicate a “nourishing” mood, or a desire to receive care themselves in those areas that they affect in this horoscope, ruling certain houses. The positive qualities of natural benefactors find themselves in demand and thrive. The action of natural pests in Pushier is amortized, so that although their external appearance can remain very terrible, their inner nature becomes caring, softened. If the owner of the 7th house is located in Pushier, then this can be an indication of a caring man; if the owner of the 5th house is located here, then on caring children, etc. Pusha’s association with Brihaspati gives her the right to rule over speech, oratory, eloquence, wisdom, fortune and aristocracy, as well as over religious impulses and priestly powers. Devotion and prayer, virtuous behavior, peace of mind, purity, truth, honor and philosophy – all these images are present in Pushia’s portfolio, although all these are used in her with excessive orthodoxy, conservatism and creative approach. If the lagna or the Moon is in Pushya, the native often has a philosophical personality, religious and well-read and can benefit from superiors and authority structures such as the government.
