Moon in Pushya

What Pushya nakshatra is said to give

Pushya is considered the most auspicious mansion in the whole cycle, presided over by Brihaspati, the teacher of the gods. Its symbol is the cow's udder, the image of nourishment. People with the Moon here are described as caring, disciplined and devoted to looking after others.

Strengths

Nurturing, reliability, wisdom and a strong sense of duty.

Challenges

Over-protectiveness, rigidity about tradition and self-sacrifice.

Pushya in relationships

Devoted and supportive, often the caretaker in the family.

Pushya at work

Teaching, religion and spiritual work, food, care professions and public service.

The udder feeds everyone who comes to it; Pushya is nourishment given out of duty and love.

Reading Pushya: gana, yoni and caste

  • Gana: Deva — divine: refined and cooperative, easy to live with and slow to confront. Nearest Deva neighbors: Punarvasu (no. 7) and Hasta (no. 13).
  • Yoni: Sheep — shared only with Krittika (no. 3); two charts with the same yoni get the top score for this factor.
  • Caste: Warrior. Presiding deity: Brihaspati, teacher of the gods; symbol: a cow’s udder, a lotus.
