Punarvasu Nakshatra

the star of renewal — return of the light.

Punarvasu is nakshatra number 7 of the twenty-seven, ruled by Jupiter and presided over by Aditi. Its symbol is the quiver of arrows, its temperament Deva, and in the Nakṣatra-puruṣa it governs the fingers.

These are the classical significations of the star itself, from the Nakṣatravana and Bṛhat-Saṁhitā tradition — a lens on temperament and timing, never a verdict on a person or a fortune foretold.

Is your Moon in Punarvasu?

Your birth star is the nakshatra your Moon held at the moment you were born. Kundaly finds it from your birth details and reads it against your whole chart — your lagna, your daśās, the timing of things.
