Nakshatra 7: Purnavasu / Punarpoosam / Punartham 2

Deity: …… JP Aditi, the mother of the gods, she is boundless, vast and limitless, goddess of abundance JP……..Punarvasu shows the transition from mutable Air to Cardinal Water, presided over by Jupiter, the God of the Sky (Indra). It exists from 20 degrees of Gemini until 3 degrees and 19 minutes of Cancer.

Mythological Aspect: ………… JUP Aditi the personification of sky and space. She is the mother of the gods and all creatures. She is abundant, vast and limitless. Originally she was the wife of Dakasa, grandfather of all living forms. Later she became the daughter of Dakasa and wife of Kashyapa, the progenitor of the human race JUP.

………………SG Story: Punarvasu means “return of the light.” After the intensity and heaviness of Ardra, we have the lightness and creativity of Punarvasu. This is very much an allegory (metaphor) of how in order to create anything, you need to destroy something first. We destroy the darkness in Ardra, that which has been preventing the light from coming in. We need to bust a hole in the wall to bring the light in. Busting the hole in the wall and pulling up the weeds in the garden so that we can grow the flowers have to do with Ardra……..Ardra is literally related to the flood — flood of emotion, debris and intensity. After that flood, we have Punarvasu, the return of the light. After that dark storm, the sky is crisp and clear and the sun is shining bright. The entire flood that inundates the shore also washes up all the nutrient-rich soil from the bottom of the sea…….In ancient Egypt, they would always wait. After the Nile would overflow its riverbanks, it would deposit all of that nutrient-rich soil which is great for growing their crops. That is the kind of analogy. Ardra is like the flood and Punarvasu is the return of the light. That very creative principle is at work in this Nakshatra and it is between Gemini and Cancer. Where Gemini becomes Cancer, and where ideas come into the heart is Punarvasu…………..The deity is called Aditi, who is the mother of the Aditias. The Aditias are the incarnations of the Sun that were given to protect the Earth. There is a very deep Earth / divine mother energy in this Nakshatra of Punarvasu……………The return of the light is this creative flow and energy that has returned now that we have made way for creativity after destroying what was making us weak. There is a lot of hope, optimism and very high standards. There can be some disappointment like a mother or a parent can have a lot of hopes with their children and think that they are going to be more than they are but they are really just people like the rest of us. There is that kind of parentage idea in Punarvasu…………Inspired yet, maybe at times, disappointed and needing to be more realistic about what is possible. That is Punarvasu, the return of the light. Planets there are inspired, creative and looking for the

goodness in things SG…………………

Punarvasu’s main Guna is Sattva with a secondary influence of Rajas, and its main motivation is Artha. One born with their Moon in Punarvasu is very likely to work hard at and to be passionately driven to reach one’s goals, which will most likely be of a highly spiritual nature. Presiding deity Aditi, the ruling planet is Jupiter. Symbol-Quiver (receptacle for arrows) Punarvasu is ruled by Aditi, the Great Mother Goddess. Goddess Aditi is as vast and limitless as the sky. Her ability is the power to gain wealth and abundance. She is the earth goddess for productivity. Aditi is associated with virtues and strives to act nobly. She has 12 sons called the Adityas. The Adityas are related to the 12 months of the year and represent the 12 sovereign principles. Because of this she is worshiped for blessings and protection of children.

Punarvasu is a deva or godly star, ruled by Aditi, the mother of the demigods. It is a moveable star connected with the merchant class of people. The animal symbol is the cat. The asterism has the strong quality of Rajas or activity at both primary and tertiary levels, with Sattwa at a secondary level. Its primary motivation comes from Artha, or directed activity. Punarvasu is translated as “the good,” or “the brilliant.”……………………Punarvasu’s

Nakshatra 7: Purnavasu / Punarpoosam / Punartham 3

ruling deity is Aditi, the mother of Surya, the Sun, and of the Adityas, the celestial gods. She is the cosmic matrix of space and the primeval sound (vibration), which when it yokes with Consciousness, matter forms. This celestial mother is unbound, free, and limitless, and as the mother of the Sun, it is she who brought forth the light that sustains life on our home, earth. The ruling planet of this Nakshatra is Jupiter/Guru, who is the teacher who guides us on the righteous path, showing how to bring our intellect and spiritual knowledge (the Gemini/Mercury part of Punarvasu) into our lives on this earthly realm (the Cancer/Moon part – the Moon reflects the light of the Sun onto Earth).

This is the birth nakshatra of Lord Rama. The Hindu god Rama was born under this Nakshatra. There is also a general belief that men born under this nakshatra have only male children. There have been exceptions to this common belief………….“On completion of the ritual six seasons have passed by and then in the twelfth month, on the ninth day of Chaitra month [April-May,] when the presiding deity of ruling star of the day is Aditi, where the ruling star of day is Punarvasu (Nakshatra), the asterism is in the ascendant, and when five of the nine planets viz., Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and Venus are at their highest position, when Jupiter with Moon is ascendant in Cancer, and when day is advancing, then Queen Kausalya gave birth to a son with all the divine attributes like lotus-red eyes, lengthy arms, roseate lips, voice like drumbeat, and who took birth to delight the Ikshwaku dynasty, who is adored by all the worlds, and who is the greatly blessed epitome of Vishnu, namely Rama.” ……………..This is the birth nakshatra of Lord Rama.

The 12 Adityas were born of Kasyapa in the womb of Aditi. The 12 Adityas are Indra, Vishnu, Vaga, Twasta, Varuna, Aryama, Pusa, Mitra, Agni, Parjyanya, Vivaswan and Dinakar. The mother Aditi of whom the Gods are born is the repository of everything good-truth, generosity, magnanimity, purity, aristocracy, beauty and renown. It follows that this star is the cause for these virtues. To start afresh after having once broken off, to start a new life, to come back from a distant land-all. Punarvasu signifies these. It stands for freedom from restriction and limitation, and boundless space……………………The Gods, the children of Aditi, are basically and essentially are different from children of Diti, who are demons. The demons never had a taste of divine nectar and therefore miss the knowledge of fundamentals, fundamentals of creation and mystery. They were engrossed with or deeply emerged in enjoyment of the externals, the materialistic aspect of the universe. Gold and sex were the two immediate pursuits, which made them extroverts. The Gods however, could rip into the deeper texture of things, they had tasted the divine nectar and become partners in supreme divine bliss and Punarvasu represents all these…..Punah means repeat, again and again; Basanti means habitation. Punarbasati, therefore, means remaking or re-modelling of dwellings, Punarbasati or Punarvasu are same in meaning. It denotes the ideas of abode, residence, back to home, sojourn, recurrence, commencement, to shine or grow bright again, to enter into life again, renewal of riches, etc.

Indications: ……………JUP Punarvasu follows the nakshatra Ardra (the storm) and literally translates to "return of the light". This denotes the ability to bounce back from difficulty, limitless inner resources, and charming and forgiving character. It bestows a deeply philosophical, inspirational, and spiritual nature with a genuine understanding that brings wisdom. Its symbol a quiver of arrow indicates a love of travel (arrow) but with a home base or family to return to (quiver). This is a very prosperous nakshatra, ruled by Jupiter and prosperity tends to double as you give back to the world JUP. ……………….Puna means “repeat.” Punarvasu is known as the “star of renewal.” It suggests someone who changes residence often, who undergoes a change of personalities or

Nakshatra 7: Purnavasu / Punarpoosam / Punartham 4

a purification of self during life. The word Punarvasu is derived from Puna+Vasu, which means return, renewal, restoration or repetition. Punarvasu Nakshatra brings about the return of energy and vitality. It causes our creative growths and inspirations to be renewed. Punarvasu follows the nakshatra Ardra (the storm) and literally translates to "return of the light". Punarvasu, means restoring or commencement of wealth, but broken down into its two parts we can see more depth to its meaning. Punar/punah means again, once again, and home. Vasu means good, excellent, light, and radiance. Under the influence of Punarvasu, one is driven to seek out and return spirituality, the light, and truth back to one’s home, life, and this earthly realm…..This denotes the ability to bounce back from difficulty, limitless inner resources, and charming and forgiving character. It bestows a deeply philosophical, inspirational, and spiritual nature with a genuine understanding that brings wisdom. Its symbol a quiver of arrow indicates a love of travel (arrow) but with a home base or family to return to (quiver). This is a very prosperous nakshatra, ruled by Jupiter and prosperity tends to double as you give back to the world. This is referred to as the "Star of Renewal". After the bleak storms of Ardra the light appears again. Those with this nakshata have the ability to bounce back again, for they have deep limitless inner resources, and no boundaries as to what they can accomplish. They are deeply philosophical, inspirational, and spiritual with a true genuine understanding, which gives them their wisdom. There hardly seems to be a shadow side. They are likable, and charming. Because of their forgiving ways, others seem to forgive them easily. They love to travel, but just as the arrow is returned to the quiver so must these natives have a home base with family to return. There is a definite theme of return and renewal. As they give back to the world their prosperity doubles. This is a very prosperous nakshatra. They don’t have the need for a lot, they are content with little.

The symbols for Punarvasu are the bow and also a house. The bow represents the desire, drive, and forward movement with one’s spiritual objective, and the house represents the destination – the place where one can rest and be at peace within.

Punarvasu is ruled by Aditi, the Great Mother Goddess. Its power is the ability to gain wealth or substance. Its basis above is the wind or air; its basis below is wetness or rain. Together they bring about the revitalization of the plants…………………Punarvasu Nakshatra brings about the return of energy and vitality, like the return of the monsoon rains after the dry season. It matures our creative growth, and generates inspiration. Aditi is the Earth Goddess who grants all the abundance, and gives birth to all the Gods.

Punarvasu is a lunar constellation that enables a comfortable life. The goddess belonging to Punarvasu is Aditi, the goddess of abundance. It is a lunar constellation that brings prosperity and well-being. This does not lead to a life that solely involves material pleasures, however. The quiver, the symbol of Punarvasu, represents energy and power……………….If necessary, a person in whose horoscope the Punarvasu constellation plays an important role, is prepared to leave the safety of his home and to start seeking for the Holy Grail. Even if during this quest for the grail he would have to defeat several dragons. However, he will always return to his own home and he will be able to tell many stories about his adventures. He may even turn these stories into epics (Punarvasu is associated with poetry). Finally this will lead to a great inner wisdom which will be conveyed to others. A person with this constellation is not afraid of combat, and is generally home-loving. He will never look for unnecessary conflicts, because he attaches a lot of value to respect for the other person………………The spiritual path for this constellation involves gaining wisdom, travelling both literally and in the spirit, with a safe home as his basis to which he always returns. The experiences gained will be dealt with within the safety of the own home.

Nakshatra 7: Purnavasu / Punarpoosam / Punartham 5

Astrological Summary (Related Articles):……………………Punarvasu is taken as the seventh nakshatra among the 27 nakshatras which are considered important in Indian Jyotish for making calculations from horoscopes based on Vedic Jyotish. The literal meaning of Punarvasu is to become Vasu again and since the Vasus possess qualities like goodness, prosperity and genuineness, these meanings can also be assigned to Punarvasu. Thus it can be said that Punarvasu is a nakshatra which promotes prosperity and goodness on all levels when working through its positive aspects. Vedic Jyotish assigns an arrow as the main symbol to this nakshatra and this symbol of arrow conveys many things at the same time. For example, an arrow is associated with striking the target which in turn is associated with the desire aspect of the archer who wants to strike the target with his arrow. An arrow is also associated with movement and the movement itself is associated with the time in one form or the other. So it can be said that Punarvasu is associated with desire to achieve goals, movements and travels and this nakshatra is also associated with the time aspect of nature………………………. Some vedic astrologers practicing in Indian Jyotish associate a couple of more symbols to Punarvasu. A quiver full of arrows is used as a symbol of Punarvasu by some vedic astrologers whereas a house is also used as a symbol of Punarvasu by a different school of vedic astrologers practicing in Indian Jyotish. Upon analyzing these symbols used for Punarvasu it can be said that a quiver full of arrows provides a sense of resourcefulness and safety to the bearer of this quiver as a number of arrows present in the quiver of Punarvasu can be considered as a number of different resources available to the bearer of this quiver which can be used appropriately according to their usefulness and at the right time. A quiver full of arrows also represents a well equipped and well armed person which again conveys a sense of safety as a well equipped and properly armed person is usually considered as safe. The other symbol of house used for Punarvasu by some vedic astrologers conveys the meanings like comfort, leisure, safety and enjoyment as all of the above mentioned terms are associated with the concept of house. Based on the above facts, it can be said that Punarvasu is associated with desire, time, safety, comfort, leisure, enjoyment, wealth, prosperity and other such things which make this nakshatra a very resourceful and benevolent nakshatra and for these reasons, Vedic Jyotish associates great importance to this nakshatra…………………Vedic Jyotish assigns Aditi as the ruling deity of Punarvasu. Aditi is the mother of 12 Adityas who are considered as solar deities in Indian Jyotish. The influence of Aditi on Punarvasu brings the mother like caring and home like safety qualities to this nakshatra. Aditi is considered as a very resourceful and benevolent deity according to Indian Jyotish which again brings the resourcefulness and benevolence to Punarvasu. Vedic Jyotish takes Jupiter as the ruling planet of Punarvasu and Jupiter relays its qualities like prosperity, ethics and care for the well being of the others through this nakshatra. The first three parts of Punarvasu fall in the sign of Gemini ruled by Mercury whereas the fourth and final part of Punarvasu falls in the sign of Cancer ruled by Moon. The influence of Mercury brings the qualities like mobility, trade and business skill and communication to Punarvasu whereas the influence of Moon brings qualities like maternal love and care for the well being of the society……………………When working positively, Punarvasu supports life and harmony at all levels and therefore the natives under the strong influence of this nakshatra can be seen to exhibit positive qualities like the promotion of life and society, being happy and trying to make other people happy, leading a moral and spiritual life and the other likewise qualities according to Vedic Jyotish. The natives under the strong influence of Punarvasu have a definitive and strong sense of ethics and they are very skilled at separating the good from the bad and therefore they do not let much negativity build inside them. People under the strong influence of Punarvasu have great sense of reasoning and they use this quality to choose right paths throughout their lives. Punarvasu natives are blessed with a good power of imagination and creativity and they can be seen

Nakshatra 7: Purnavasu / Punarpoosam / Punartham 6

making use of it in the fields like writing poetry or literature, painting or acting and doing other creative activities which require the use of imagination. Punarvasu natives are patient by nature and they are friendly towards the people around them and for this reason Punarvasu natives are usually known to be the safest kind of people to be with and to be around. …………………………Indian Jyotish also assigns qualities like simplicity, forgiveness and honesty to Punarvasu and as a result the natives under the strong influence of this nakshatra are simple and honest in their approach. Many Punarvasu natives are content and happy with what they have in life and they do not have a habit to run behind whatever materialistic pleasures they do not have. It is interesting to note here that despite their simple and content approach towards life, many Punarvasu natives are actually very prosperous and resourceful even if they do not want all this prosperity and resourcefulness. This is due to the inherent qualities of Punarvasu which bless the natives under its strong influence with wealth, resources, safety and simplicity at the same time. Many astrologers practicing in Vedic Jyotish believe that natives under the strong influence of Punarvasu do not fall into great dangers, crisis or major problems throughout their life and if they face such problems, they almost always come out of them safe and sound which again confirms the safety word associated with this nakshatra. So it can be said that natives under the strong influence of Punarvasu are blessed with happy, content and resourceful life and they also have good spiritual inclination at the same time according to Indian Jyotish…………………….When it comes to the professional sphere assigned to the natives under the strong influence of Punarvasu, most of the Vedic Astrologers practicing in Indian Jyotish believe that Punarvasu natives are found to be practicing in the professions which do not demand much physical work and instead the creativity and imagination of these natives is used. Punarvasu also blesses its natives with some gifted professions where the natives earn money by giving advice to people, healing people and at the same time these natives get a fair amount of respect from the people. Punarvasu natives are seen practicing as, astrologers, spiritual healers, councellors and advisers of all kinds, poets, writers, authors dealing with spiritual and supernatural subjects, bankers and people working with many other kinds of financial institutions, teachers of many kinds and preachers of many kinds, artists exhibiting their art in various professional spheres and many other kinds of people dealing in many other kinds of professions. It can be easily noted that natives working in most of the above mentioned fields do not have to do much physical hard work and many of these professions make the natives respected by the people and society around them. This is the reason why most of the vedic astrologers practicing in Indian Jyotish associate many good things to this nakshatra called Punarvasu…………………Considering some of the other facts about Punarvasu which are considered important in Indian Jyotish when making certain specific calculations like gun Milan, Punarvasu is taken as a Male nakshatra in Vedic Jyotish. Its nature is considered to be movable according to Indian astrology and the functioning of this nakshatra is considered to be passive which can be easily judged from the easy going nature and not promoting much physical work like qualities of this nakshatra. Vedic Jyotish considers the Varna of Punarvasu to be Vaishya and this nakshatra is taken as Sattawic in Gun and Dev in Gan. The sattawic Gun and Dev Gan of Punarvasu easily fits the description of this nakshatra as it is very ethical, moral and spiritual in nature whereas some Vedic astrologers believe that the Vaishya Varna of this nakshatra is mainly due to the reason that most of this nakshatra falls in the sign of Gemini, ruled by Mercury which is known to be a planet of trade and business and both these qualities are the trademarks of Vaishya Varna according to Vedic Jyotish. The element associated with Punarvasu is water.

Nakshatra & its Shape: Punarvasu, the world is consists of two words – Punah and Vasu. Punah means repetition. Vasu means a ray of light or a jewel. The Vasus were dignified Vedic deities, eight in number and all

Nakshatra 7: Purnavasu / Punarpoosam / Punartham 7

are connected indirectly with this nakshatra. If we try to analyze the word Punarvasu then simple meaning comes to mind: repetition of rays. Rays are generated from light and the mystery of the word is if ray keeps on repeating itself then it will automatically take the form of light. The asterism itself represents universal life which can happen only with the support of ray or light. Thenakshatra also implies the revival of certain aspects of initial life essence which was necessary for the evolutionary process.

Vasus are the very important deities of the universe. At the beginning of cosmic evolution they played a very essential role. The Vasus which are eight in number namely Apas (water), Prithvi (earth), Agni (fire), Chandra (moon), Pratyush (dawn), Dhruva (pole star), Vayu (air) and Prabhas (lustre) are very important elements for the preservation, nourishment, sustainability of the human and universal existence. Consciousness itself is energized by the Solar Logos. Aditi, the mother goddess creates the possible environment for the seed to eventually bear fruit. She is also bestowed with a great ability to gain wealth or substance. Aditi is also the Earth goddess capable of granting everything in plenty and gives birth to all the gods.

The asterism has two symbols, one is bow and another is house. The bow is the link between the archer and the target. In a way it operates as a launching pad. The archer is standing here but through aim wants to be somewhere else. Another symbol of the asterism is house which also implies the same meaning. The house is used by an occupant for resting and recuperation of energies so he can achieve his target. The occupant has to leave the house to go to his work place and after completing tasks he comes back to his house and gets ready for the next day.

Personal Indicators:……………………Your Strengths: The Punarvasu – Jupiter – Mercury combination produces an exceptional mind with tremendous wisdom. Those born under this combination have the ability to become the launching pad between the archer and the target. Invariably, their own arrow establishes a perfect link in whatever they do in life. There is an impelling force to create essential conditions and background for themselves as well as for the people who follow them in future. They create a proper environment where fructification of efforts and the concretization of the will can take place easily. However, over intellectualization of their knowledge and wisdom can bring a steep downfall……………….Punarvasu – Jupiter – Moon provides an almost ready platform from where the great drama of life can be enacted. Three-fourths of the Punarvasu nakshatra is covered by the previous sign Gemini and one-fourths by the present sign Cancer. If the Jupiter – Mercury combination works in a manner which puts two atoms of hydrogen and one atom of oxygen together two create the possible environment for these to get converted to water, the Jupiter – Moon works in tandem to induce electricity at a high velocity to create water in reality. This could be the difference when we compare Punarvasu in the two signs of Gemini and Cancer. Fructification of efforts becomes a reality rather than only a mirage. There is deep-rooted confidence in the person’s mind that if he takes the first step, then conquering even Mount Everest will become a reality……………………..You are blessed with a great capacity to work with a tremendously focused mind. The target is very clear to you and your total focus is on ways to achieve it. Most of your energy and time goes in positioning yourself. You work effortlessly and arouse your intellect to a level from where obtaining desired results is not difficult at all. Invariably, you work independently and attract the masses towards yourself with fantastic results. You are genuinely concerned for the ones you love and try your best to make things better………………….You have clarity of goal at a very early age. There remains a great doubt on your ability for some but you are not one of those who give up their ideas after initial failures. You do

Nakshatra 7: Purnavasu / Punarpoosam / Punartham 8

not have any sort of confusion in your foresightedness but the environment in which you work always creates a major challenge for you. There is a huge gap between reality and vision and your greatness lies in the fact that you bridge this gap beautifully. There are two main reasons – one, you see the possibility to fulfill your dream and, second, you want to create a conducive environment for those who want to do something different but lack

in vision……………….Your Drawbacks: Overindulgence with the mind or intellect can create a stumbling block. Sometimes, a conflict between wisdom and logic also creates a lot of confusion in your mind. At times, you are too critical to be tolerated by others. Sometimes, you remain so unconcerned about the results that your efforts go in vain…………………..Your likes and dislikes are so strong that they create utter confusion in your life. If you are wrongly convinced of an issue or situation then you can go overboard, expressing yourself unnecessarily. Sometimes, others find it difficult to bear your ego or over-assessment of yourself. Often, you not objective nor are you able to take a macro view of the situation.

Behavioral Characteristics……………………..Punarvasu relates to ‘vastuva prapana shakti’ which refers to the power of retrieving objectives or objects. Triumph, renewal and return are indicated by the reference to the regenerative capacity of rain. Punarvasu loves to nurture and harmonize when after a shower, the earth rejuvenates. Hence, the natives of Punarvasu are satisfied people who believe in getting rid of negative energies through hard work. They believe in overcoming obstacles through self-confidence. ……………….The fascinating function of the emotional and mental is something from which Punarvasu derives its strength. The natives are characterized with reason and it represents a state when a child grows out of its mischief to become aware of others’ needs. They are good natured and friendly and the age 9-12 is also ideal for all kinds of spiritual introductions. In fact, Punarvasu relates to spirituality that engenders self-realization. Natives with Punarvasu in the ascendant have an average build and look serene and benevolent. They are pleasant, amiable, and noble…………………..The simplicity of their views prevents Punarvasu natives from understanding complications, although they succeed in emerging unscathed from accidents, diseases and physical malfunctions. They are homesick, but are willing to travel. On the flip side, natives of this nakshatra tend to stagnate. On the brighter side, Punarvasu loves challenges and almost always succeeds………The opposing nature of Pollux and Castor give them a duality that gives them a contradictory character. While Castor results in losses, Pollux is responsible for retrieving them and thus the insinuation at recycling and regeneration. Punarvasu is the root word for ‘pun’, ‘puny’, and ‘punitive’ and ‘punctual’, all of which signify the aspects of this nakshatra.

Padas or Quarters

The first pada falls on the Aries Navamsa which is ruled by Mars. It stands for adventure, motion and pioneering. The focus lies on group work, attainment of goals and friendship.

The second pada falls on the Taurus Navamsa which is ruled by Venus. It stands for the earthy, fixed and materialistic elements. It is usually associated with hotels, restaurants, import-export industry and tourism.

The third pada falls on the Gemini Navamsa which is ruled by Mercury. It stands for imagination, science and mental activities. Being a Vargottama pada, planets produce strong results, especially in the intellectual and mental realm.

The fourth pada falls on the Cancer Navamsa which is ruled by the Moon. It stands for strength and beneficence. The planets in this stage are Vargottama and Pushkara resembling expansiveness, maternity,

Nakshatra 7: Purnavasu / Punarpoosam / Punartham 9

nurturing spirit and care that bring out the aspects of Punarvasu to the fullest. Jupiter is exalted at its peak here.

7 Punarvasu is 20° Gemini - 3°20’ Cancer, ruled by Jupiter "return of the light"Those born in the star Punarvasu are endowed with children have good qualities, wealthy and they indulge in bringing difference of opinion among friends. They speak very clearly and are secretive in their dealings. They are learned in the sciences and interested in personal decoration with gems and gold ornaments. They are givers and famous. They are religious, attractive, carry out works of other women. They are tolerant, satisfied with small things and fast movers. They collect a good circle of friends, daily eat good food, sacrifices and worship lord Vishnu. They are peaceful, happy, enjoying and endowed with good progeny. Those born in the Punarvasu star are noted to be long lived, loved by wife, handsome, interested in pomp, of good heart, high in conduct, with low voice, like cereals, intelligent, thinkers, and possess fish sign on

stomach. SB

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….Purnavasu nakshatra is about returning to the source. What I mean by this is that like lord Ram, who fought great evils, and struggled for 14 years, finally returned back to his source of kingliness. This nakshatra is about going through struggles in life and finally after enough struggle one becomes a king. This shows one gaining lot of wisdom through their experiences and later teaching others about what they have gone through and the mistake they have made in their life. They make some of the great counselor and teachers or university professors. Due to the influence of Jupiter here, there is a great care and passion for advising and teaching others. The symbol of bow & arrow also represent the weapon of the divine, because in Indian mythology, lord Vishnu took the body of Ravan on earth just so he could be killed by the divine arrow of lord Ram. ………… People think Ram is a God, or ditty, but actually Ram was an avatar who was born in the flesh body. He was one of the angles of God but not God himself, because there is only one God, that is Vishnu, who has sub bodies like Shiva, Bhrama, Ram, Krishina etc.. but the root is only one. This nakshatra shows that even the punishment from such people may actually be blessings because there would be a great lesson to be learned. I.e. if a teacher punishes the student at school, that particular punishment would be probably will the one that student remembers for rest of his or her life and would actually thank the teacher for doing what they did.

It is ruled by Adhithi indicator of infinity or abundance or in simple words we can relate it to this infinite Universe. As this whole universe accommodates everybody in it irrespective of shape, size, nature etc., Punarvasu natives are also very adjusting in nature and can accommodate themselves in different circumstances and with different people. This is a unique quality found in Punarvasu natives which is difficult to find in other Nakshatras. Its symbol is an arrow; rather a divine empowered arrow. As the symbol arrow indicates a direction or a point, so this Nakshatra indicates some fixed objectives and goals. As the divine arrow rarely misses its target and returns after completing its job; Punarvasu indicates successful completion of the objectives and goals. Punarvasu natives are one of the most contended people among 27 Nakshatra and fully capable of achieving their material as well spiritual
