COMPATIBILITY

  • Applies to nakshatra of radical lagna AND nakshatra of Chandra. For emotional relationships, nakshatra of Chandra is more influential on compatibility and ease of interaction.

Psycho-socially compatible with Pushyami =

Nakshatra of Shani * materialistic, structuring, status-oriented, rule of law. Shani people are systems people. These pairs are often found in structuring, law-imposing, bureaucratic governance roles.

Nakshatra of Zukra = materialistic, accumulating, sensual Zukra makes an elegant, status-acquisitive, architectural pair with hierarchical, structural Shani.

Nakshatra of

Budha * mercantile, conversational, collaborative, shopkeeper Budha is friendly with economic-systems regulator Shani. Budha may indicate the junior partner, the salesperson, the explainer while the Shani partner is more concerned with longevity and continuity of the operation.

Psycho-socially neutral with Pushyami =

Nakshatra of Brihaspati * Guru and Shani are mutually neutral. Brihaspati welcomes every experience into the full totality of awareness, and Shani provides the structure which grants a lawful coherence to the unfolding of that tapestry of experience.

Psycho-socially uneasy with Pushyami =

Nakshatra of Chandra * caretaking Chandra's parenting, nourishing style that recognizes only the family unit conflicts with Shani's style of organizing that recognizes only the community-society unit

Nakshatra of Mangala * Shani is intimidated by Kuja's direct aggressions, competitiveness, and warlike powers. Kuja's pioneering, innovative style conflicts with Shani's insistence on unchanging, lawful structures.

Nakshatra of Rahu or Ketu * whether highly exciting (Rahu) or deeply observing (Ketu) the fascinating yet disruptive nodal styles conflict with Shani's requirement for a fixed social order constructed from unchanging socially regulated relationships.

Most catalytic (challenging) nakshatra for the Pushya folk=

Nakshatra of Surya * center-stage, sparklingly exceptional, brightly self-reflexive Surya-style violently conflicts with Shani's uniform, zero-exceptions, dark, cold, rigidly orderly style. Surya and Shani see each other as ati-shatru = maximum enemy.

Shakti of Pushyami Nakshatra

commentary by Pdt. David Frawley:

"Brihaspati desired, "May I possess the splendor of spiritual knowledge ."

One who makes the appropriate offering to Brihaspati, to Pushya,

  • gains the splendor of spiritual knowledge.

Pushya connects us with spiritual knowledge, but also religion, ritual and morality in general.

  • through it the good overcomes the evil ."

Shakti of Pushyami Nakshatra

QUOTATION from Dennis Harness

 "8. Pushya: The Star of Nourishment

(Cancer 03 20'to 16 40')

Pushya is considered to be the most auspicious of the twenty-seven lunar mansions. The symbols for this asterism are a lotus, circle, arrow and the udder of the sacred cow. The ancient name of Pushya in the Rig Veda was Tishya, the Celestial Archer. It has a deva temperament with the primary motivation of dharma, or right action. The ruling planet is Shani, or Saturn, which grounds the energy of this powerful nakshatra. The chief deity is Brahaspati, the High Priest of the Gods. The shakti of Pushya is "the ability to create spiritual energy”.

Pushya Career Interests:

Government and political positions.

Corporate leaders and heads of state.

Military and police work, lawyers and judges.

Musicians, poets and artists.

Geologists, dairy industry and aquatic biologists.

Spiritual teachers and clergy.

Pushya is formed by North and South Aselli, the two donkeys, which reflect the manger and the birth of the Christ child which occurs under the spiritual energy of this benefic lunar mansion."

"O wise Maruts, let us carry off the wealth of food which you have bestowed on us; give us, O Maruts, such thousand fold wealth as never fails, like the star Tishya (Pushya) from heaven” Rig Veda, V.55.13
BPL commentary Pushya nakshatra Shani-ruled Pushya feels a natural rhythm in customary and conventional status hierarchies and established social ranks.

Affinity for the staidly ceremonial pomp and circumstance of the government and the temple. Comfortable in regulated, orderly Shani-environments of legislation, regulation, and maintenance of the social order.

Pushya is charitable by nature but also quite lawful and concerned with security as a matter of public order. Often a functionary in official organizations such as recognized charities.

Pushya take a systematic Shani-ized view of the Karkata's oceans. Often gifted in navigation, ship-craft, and seamanship. Pushya are often superbly ordered and procedural in their capacity to manipulate and direct a ship; thus roles such as naval commander and shipmaster come easily whether for career or for sport.

Naturally suited for Navy and maritime leadership roles, albeit the placement of Chandra and Shani must be considered. Pushya may find their way into various oceanic environments such as shipping industry, government regulation of waterways, or maritime policy.

As children, Pushya persons may seem adult-oriented (Shani) perhaps humorless, awkward socially, and stiff in movement. The three Shani-ruled Nakshatra (Pushya, Anuradha, Uttarabhadrapada) tend to be uncomfortable with aggressive movement, and thus less popular among the other children. Pushya like Anuradha and Uttarabhadrapada tends to blossom only after Shani matures at age 36.

BPL comment:

Pushya-pada-1 radical lagna puts

The Pushya-pada-1 nativity shows many of the typical Simha traits of glittering intelligence, enjoyment of center-stage roles, interest in politics and drama, and natural self-centered authority.

Vrishabha on the 10th-navamsha suggests that the Pushya-pada-1 nativity is typically professionally engaged with matters of Vrishabha such as visual arts, illustration, beautification, women's ornamentation and fashion, flowers, perfumes and aromatic oils, sensual pleasures, eyes-hair-face, mouth-teeth, song and music, facial beauty, eyesight, banking and financial treasures, sweets and liquors, dairy foods and cattle.

Any graha located in Vrishabha 10th-navamsha are definitive for professional portfolio and public service. The public career may be subject to revaluation and reassessment because Professor Zukra indicates historical, financial, and aesthetic value.

If, within the Simha swamsha, the nakshatra of the navamsha-lagna lies between 13:21 and 26:39 (Purvaphalguni) then the Zukra-ruled artistic, musical, beauty. and finance indicators are further strengthened.

-- from Das / Behari :

"You will have many friends.

  • You may own real estate.

  • You will possess the qualities of an astrologer.

You will respect the opposite sex."
BPL comment:

Pushya-pada-2 radical lagna puts

The Pushya-pada-2 nativity shows many of the typical Kanya traits of service-ministry and orientation to health care, unbalanced arrangements, and mitigation of pollution (cleaning).

The Pushya-pada-2 nativity is typically professional engaged with matters of communicative Mithunaya such as writing and editing, publications, conversation, announcements, declarations, documentation, media-messaging, evangelism, cinema, radio-television-internet, books-magazines-journals-blogs, travel itineraries, scheduling, planning, meetings, business administration, project management, conferences, seminars, presentations, instructional delivery, description, explanation, diagrams, photography, drawings, hand-craft, tool-use, apprenticeship.

Any graha located in Mithunaya 10th-navamsha are definitive for professional portfolio and public service. The definition of the public career may be subject to re-describing and re-explaining because Professor Budha indicates chattering.

Professor Budha rules both swamsha and 10th-navamsha which increases the propensity toward careers of an administrative, project-managing nature. Business orientation is pronounced. Enhanced capacity for repetitive messaging work, evangelical work, planning, schedules, meetings, itineraries, and reporting. The disposition of Budha is therefore critically important in predicting and assessing the professional career.

Due to the adversarial attitude of Budha toward lagnesha Chandra, the habitual, emotional rhythms of the fleshbody (which prefers to be in a predictable, familiar, sheltered, homelike place) might not always coordinate with the alacritous, mentalized patterns of the professional environments. This tension often exacerbates the digestive ailments associated with Kanya. It is often helpful to work at home, or work aboard a ship.

-- from Das / Behari :

"You are easily influenced by good words.

  • You like to live near the water and gardens.

You will do hard work in foreign countries."
BPL comment:

Pushya-pada-3 radical lagna puts

The Pushya-pada-3 nativity shows many of the typical Thula traits of bargaining, trade, negotiation, match-making, deal-making, concern with the terms of the contractual agreement, and seeking of alliance.

Any graha located in patriotic Karkata 10th-navamsha are definitive for professional portfolio and public service. The definition of the public career may fluctuate because Professor Chandra indicates Ebb and Flow.

BPL comment:

Pushya-pada-4 radical lagna puts

The Pushya-pada-4 nativity shows many of the typical Vrizchika traits of pursuit of hidden empowerments, sharp focus on the mysterious and confidential, drive to control, manipulative or intrusive nature, explosions and implosions, and energetic penetration of secrets.

The Pushya-pada-4 nativity is typically professional engaged with matters of Simha such as politics and political elections, theatre, literary creativity, performance arts, celebrity, royal entitlements, pageantry, poetry, ceremony, entertainments, ceremonial dance, children, romance, courtly love, games, gambling, expressions of genius, applause, brilliant confidence, solar power, bright lights, Divine Intelligence, self-knowledge, ego, individuality, independence, non-conformity, exceptionalism, uniqueness, center of attention, brilliant red things.

Any graha located in glittering Simha 10th-navamsha are definitive for professional portfolio and public service. The public career may be brightly visible because Professor Ravi indicates self-referential radiance.

There is potential for the development of a splendid healer and brilliant symbol of intelligent transformation. But there is an equal potential for the development of a political figure whose personal need for comfort and keeping of family secrets may weaken the effectiveness of leadership.
