Pushya nakshatra traits
Considered the most auspicious nakshatra, Pushya nourishes. Natives are caring, dutiful and spiritually inclined.
Dasha at birth
If your Moon is in Pushya, your life begins in the Saturn dasha, a 19-year period; how much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Pushya the Moon had travelled.
Pushya in the Panchang
When the Moon passes through Pushya, the day takes on a swift quality, traditionally good for trade, learning and tasks to finish quickly. See today's nakshatra in the Panchang.
