The return of the light after the storm. Punarvasu natives are optimistic, forgiving and able to start again.
Dasha at birth
If your Moon is in Punarvasu, your life begins in the Jupiter dasha, a 16-year period; how much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Punarvasu the Moon had travelled.
