Pushya Nakshatra Meanings "Nourishment"
Inter-dimensional portal Puna-Pushya are a gateway pair which supports an inter-dimensional frequency-exchange portal Punarpoosam * Puna-rvasu WITH Poosam * Pushya similar to pairs:
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 * 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

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 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. | ||

Rising Nakshatra Feminine Nativities Tisya * Poosam * Pushyami * Paukshakya *Vutkrita * Barhaspatya * Indrapurohita * Avra BPL commentary For Pushyami births of a feminine valence, the influence of rigid, chronological, lawful, enduring strictly structural sober serious systematic Shani can considerably affect the outcome. For those born into the Shani-ruled paradigm of Vutkrita, elder persons, old rules, rigid structures, age and time, resistance to change, status hierarchies, social class barriers, large organizations, public opinion, bureaucracies, regulatory requirements, legal systems, and corporate or institutional officials may be especially influential. Instructional guidance is provided from the civilizations of Asellus. Their purpose is the lawful, hierarchically ordered maintenance of the customary folk habits in the place of settlement. Laws and Customs All four pada of Tisya occur within Chandra-ruled Karkata rashi. Births into pada 1-2-3-4 uniformly express the tension between emotionally protective soothing Somana versus lawfully ordering Shani. Both deeply caring and socially regulatory, Vukrita ladies are often found at the director level of hierarchical organizations that are dedicated to family, parent, and citizen welfare. Deeply patriotic and protectionist by nature, they have a gift for combining a secure family life with larger social responsibilities. Sidhya feminine figures are influential in the material world, respected for their orderly yet sensitive conduct, and particularly dedicated to the safety of women and children. Themes of parental duty, civic responsibility, patriotism, dignity of the family, and foundational legal protections may contextualize Pushya's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Pushya-Sidhya. |

For those born into the Shani-ruled paradigm of Vutkrita, elder persons, old rules, rigid structures, age and time, resistance to change, status hierarchies, social class barriers, large organizations, public opinion, bureaucracies, regulatory requirements, legal systems, and corporate or institutional officials may be especially influential. Instructional guidance is provided from the civilizations of Asellus. Their purpose is the lawful, hierarchically ordered maintenance of the customary folk habits in the place of settlement. Laws and Customs Shani-ruled Pushyami gentlemen are often found at the director level of government, corporate, and institutional organizations. They combine the local sensibilities of security-seeking Chandra with the larger structural, legal frameworks of national and international regulation. Deeply patriotic and defensive by nature, Sidhya-born usually remain close to their roots while they obtain respected, socially recognized positions in institutions, bureaucracies, and agencies of government. Sidhya-born are influential in the world and reputed for their culturally sensitive judgment. Found in all of the Chandra-karaka areas such as transportation, farming + fishing, home-building + real-estate, schools, houses of worship, and parenting, Tishya-born feel close to the land. Yet, they are socially responsible, and usually elect to serve as judges, directors, or other official roles [Shani] that provide an orderly process [Shani] for governance of their place of settlement. Pushyami may specialize in cultural boundary-protection, making of reserved areas both social and natural, lawful preservation of ethnic practices, and legal recognition for cultural minorities. Tisya fellows are particularly dedicated to environmental protection, land ownership, and property rights. Themes of parental duty, civic responsibility, patriotism, dignity of the family, and foundational legal protections may contextualize Pushya's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Pushya-Sidhya.

QUOTATION from Das / Behari General Description of Pushya characteristics "There may be a distinguishing mark, scar or a black mole on the face. You may have an indecisive nature. You will act properly in most situations, but be cautious of acting selfishly.
For some reason, due to past lives, or parental influence, you may be very needy

As already explained above, the inherent freedom available in all walks of life may lead you to bad company.
You will be fond of good clothes. 3. Education, sources of earning/profession: You will jump upon any work without judging or thinking whether you are capable. Be cautious of this trait, it may have detrimental effects. You may not be a good anticipator, You are very good in certain work and sweet words are a natural expression for you.

Even if you do not have any basic education,
Another plus point for you is that you resist any idea or work which is not ethical.
You will carry out any work entrusted to you with the utmost sincerity and certainty.

BPL comment: Pushya-pada-2 radical lagna puts
| The Pushya-pada-2 nativity shows many of the typical Kanya-Parthya traits of service-ministry and orientation to health care, unbalanced or exploitive arrangements, and instinct toward mitigation of pollution (elimination, cleanisng). The Pushya-pada-2 nativity is typically professional engaged with matters of communicative Mithunaya-Dvamdva such as writing and editing, publications, conversation, announcements, declarations, documentation, illustration, 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 activates both Svamsha 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-Parthya. It is often helpful to work at home, or work aboard a ship. | |

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. | |
