Punarvasu Nakshatra
Optimistic and forgiving — whatever is lost, they have a gift for getting it back. Punarvasu is the 7th of the 27 nakshatras, ruled by Jupiter, with Aditi as its deity and bow and quiver as its symbol.
The four padas
| Pada | Moon sign | Navamsa | Naming syllable |
|---|---|---|---|
| Punarvasu pada 1 | Mithuna (Gemini) | Mesha | Ke |
| Punarvasu pada 2 | Mithuna (Gemini) | Vrishabha | Ko |
| Punarvasu pada 3 | Mithuna (Gemini) | Mithuna | Ha |
| Punarvasu pada 4 | Karka (Cancer) | Karka | Hi |
Punarvasu straddles two moon signs, so the pada — which needs the birth time — decides the rashi. Each pada is also one navamsa, the ninth-division sign astrologers read for marriage.
