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

Shakti of Pushyami Nakshatra commentary by 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. | |

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.

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. | |
