Punarvasu Nakshatra

Punarvasu Nakshatra in Detail

Punarvasu spans 20° of Gemini to 3°20′ of Cancer and is ruled by Jupiter. Lord Rama was born under this star. Some believe that only boys are born under Punarvasu, but this is not true.

The word "Punarvasu" comes from "Punah" (again) and "Vasu" (light or wealth), and it means renewal, return and repetition. Its deity is Aditi, mother of the twelve Adityas, the sons of the sage Kashyapa: Vishnu, Indra, Tvashta, Bhaga, Aryama, Varuna, Mitra, Pushan, Parjanya, Agni, Dinakara and Vivasvan. Aditi is a treasury of kindness, nobility, purity, grace, beauty and fame.

Generally, a person born in Punarvasu is very religious, although difficult circumstances may pull them away from religion later in life.

They have a strong memory and never forget anything they have seen or read once. They also have deep intuition.

Punarvasu men can struggle with their temper. Their honesty makes them good, law-abiding citizens; they do not want to break the law and dislike people who do. They may worry about their wife's health. Married life can face problems because of frequent dissatisfaction. Later in life, they have the skill to make a big difference in the business world.

Natives of this nakshatra often achieve higher education, which helps them reach high government posts. They have an interest in and knowledge of English literature. They make contact with important people in society and politics, and they may play an active role in politics and gain great success and influence there.

Great wealth may not come easily to them because of their frankness, and they do not always know how to make money grow. Helping others comes naturally to them, and they try with heart and soul to make life easier for the less fortunate. They earn recognition in society for their nature and personality.

Family is very important to them. However, problems in married life may need care so that relationships do not end early, as this would add to their stress and pressure.

Punarvasu natives tend to worry too much about their health and can magnify small problems. Usually, they are very healthy and keep up a healthy lifestyle.

Punarvasu women have sharp tongues. This often shows when they are around family members and neighbours. Even when they argue, their language stays polished, and people wonder why they behave the way they do.

Punarvasu women lead contented lives with the people who look after them. Their health may suffer because of an irregular lifestyle; they should take care of their breathing and digestion.
