ABOUT PUSHYAMI
Pushyami (Pushya) is considered the most auspicious of the 27 lunar constellations. It is the eighth Nakshatra and lies from 3°20′ to 16°40′ in Cancer (Karka). The Rig Veda gives its ancient name as Tishya, the Celestial Archer. Pushya means nourishment, yielding and nurturing.
Its presiding deity is Brihaspati, the Guru of the gods, and it is ruled by Saturn (Shani), which can bring delays. Its symbols are the lotus, the arrow, the circle and the udder of the holy cow. The energy of this nakshatra is the ability to create spiritual energy, to satisfy and to harmonise. Its sacred tree is the peepal.
Pushyami is also known as Poosam, Tishya, Pusya, Barhaspatya, Pushkararaja, Vutkrta, Indrapurohita and Paushakya. One who makes offerings to this star is said to gain the splendour of spiritual knowledge and the power to overcome evil with good. Natives are motivated above all by right action.
GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Any work started in Pushyami is said to give good results. Even when other yogas are adverse, this nakshatra is believed to destroy their bad effects, which is called its Sarva Siddhi Yoga. It is highly favourable for remedies, festivals, health measures and all auspicious purposes.
Natives are earnest, intelligent, caring and religious. They have the qualities to succeed in the material world, are reliable and good friends, rise in position and command respect from others, and are loved and admired by their family.
They are well educated, with consistently good academic performance and knowledge in many fields, and they reach good spiritual success. They are hard working and dedicated, and obedient and sincere towards their parents, though family life can bring some challenges. They are often associated with charitable organisations and community affairs, are financially independent, and become well known in their circles.
STRENGTHS
Disciplined, practical and philosophical, they come across as cultured and well read. They are loving at heart and strong believers in morals. Women of this star are charming and capable.
CHALLENGES
On the negative side, they can be indecisive and may want more attention than they get. They are fond of good clothes, respond quickly to admiration, and hesitate to form strong attachments.
CAREER
Government service, the food industry, politics, dairy, irrigation, restaurants, anchoring and counselling.
HEALTH
Those with the Moon in Pushyami may be prone to skin problems and eczema, stomach trouble, ulcers, nausea, tuberculosis and chest problems.
