Punarvasu
Punarvasu is the 7th of the 27 nakshatras of Indian astrology. Degrees: 20°00′ Gemini–3°20′ Cancer. Ruling planet: Jupiter. Deity: Aditi, mother of the gods. Symbol: a quiver of arrows.
Personality
Return and restoration. The name means "good again": Punarvasu gives the ability to rise after losses and start over without bitterness.
People of this nakshatra are generous, optimistic, and tolerant. Weakness: absent-mindedness and a tendency to repeat the same cycle.
Ruling Planet and Deity
The ruling planet, Jupiter, determines through which period of life the nakshatra's theme unfolds: in the dasha system, it is the ruler of the Moon's nakshatra at birth that determines which period a person's life begins with.
The nakshatra’s deity is Aditi, mother of the gods. In the tradition, this deity reveals the nakshatra’s meaning more deeply than a description of character does: it is invoked in rituals connected with this part of the sky.
Each nakshatra is divided into four "padas" of 3°20′, and in Jyotish the pada refines the description. Determining the pada precisely requires the time and place of birth.
Suitable Occupations
Tradition associates the Punarvasu nakshatra with the following fields: teaching, philosophy, publishing, hospitality, consulting.
This is not career advice but a description of traditional correspondences. Your nakshatra is determined by the Moon's position, so you need your date, time, and place of birth.
Compatibility
In Kundali Milan, the Indian comparison of charts before marriage, the Moon's nakshatra determines most of the 36 compatibility points: Tara, Yoni, Gana and Nadi are calculated from it, while Varna, Vashya, Graha Maitri and Bhakoot come from the Moon sign.
Separately, the tradition takes "Nadi Dosha" into account: if both partners' nakshatras share the same nadi, the marriage is considered unfavorable. This is one of the most controversial parts of the system, and it is the reason perfectly good matches fall apart in India.
