The other mansions under Jupiter: Vishakha and Purva Bhadrapada.

Your Moon nakshatra is read from a kundli chart on the sidereal zodiac; the moon sign calculator uses the tropical one, so it often names the next sign along. Kundli matching then compares the nakshatra with a partner's.

One degree of Punarvasu takes the Moon 101 minutes on this pass: that is how far both times move if your ayanamsa differs from Lahiri (24.22° in 2026) by a degree. Local times: IANA time zones, to the minute.

Moon in Punarvasu

What Punarvasu nakshatra is said to give

Punarvasu's deity is Aditi, the boundless mother of the gods, and its name means the return of the light. The tradition reads it as the mansion of recovery and coming home: people with the Moon here are described as optimistic, generous and able to begin again after setbacks.

Strengths

Hope, adaptability, kindness and a talent for restoring what was lost.

Challenges

Complacency, repeating old patterns and avoiding confrontation.

Punarvasu in relationships

Warm, forgiving and family-minded; values home and belonging.

Punarvasu at work

Teaching, hospitality, counseling, publishing and roles that help people start again.

The quiver holds arrows that can be shot and gathered again; Punarvasu is the renewal that follows every loss.

Reading Punarvasu: gana, yoni and caste

  • Gana: Deva — divine: refined and cooperative, easy to live with and slow to confront. Nearest Deva neighbors: Mrigashira (no. 5) and Pushya (no. 8).
  • Yoni: Cat — shared only with Ashlesha (no. 9); two charts with the same yoni get the top score for this factor.
  • Caste: Merchant. Presiding deity: Aditi, mother of the gods; symbol: a quiver of arrows.
