Characteristics Of A PuṣYa-Born

The moon in Puṣya nakṣatra is supposed to be the most auspicious of the twenty seven nakṣatras. Its basic temperament is dharma, or the seeking for right action, and it has the 'ability to create spiritual energy'. All forms of spiritual practices are encouraged here.

The star shows tranquility, absence of agitation, faith in oneself and fullness of life. This attitude can happen because the native inherently has faith in the divine and his own self. It flowers into a good inner stability, and enables the person's creativity and productivity to bear fruit. There will be great activity and dynamism under this nakṣatra.

You are able to control your desires, and are popular because of your sympathetic and compassionate nature. You are learned and fond of doing charitable work. You may be a little fat, liking to eat and nurture yourself. You also have this latter tendency towards others and like to take care of them physically and emotionally.

But stubbornness and selfishness can be shown. You can be quickly shaken by others' criticism, and may doubt yourself. This can paralyze you in life. Therefore, you should learn to become independent of others opinions. Using your wisdom and studying the teachings of enlightened Master will help.

Generally, Puṣya natives are well placed in society; they can be rulers, directors, food merchants, teachers, psychologists or priests, and often they will be masters to others.
