Pushya is known as the star of nourishment but is also linked with light and swiftness. Pushya is the home of the guru of gods, Brihaspati. Pushya is beneficial for everything as it is the most auspicious nakshatra. It benefits marriage and makes you a good speaker, motivator, and adviser who guides people to the right pathway. This Pushya nakshatra is opposite to Ardra and brings victory, fruition, luxury, the flower of success, the nakshatra of success, prosperity, and desires to attain spiritual knowledge.

Jupiter is known in Vedic astrology as Guru & Brihaspati. The traits of Jupiter are the same as Pushya, nourishing, growing, morality, and prosperity, which allow you to link to the divine and gain lasting success that is harmonious with others.

Jupiter nourishes your body and mind, bringing prosperity, wealth, happiness, and everything that can grow with time; Jupiter is Jeeva, the life-giver associated with Jyotish and astronomy.

Brihaspati (Guru/Jupiter) is an educated Lord, a master of expansion representing everything bigger, better, prosperous, favourable towards material accomplishment, and nurturing knowledge.

Brihaspati represents a communication channel that links up with the supreme and achieves your full potential and blossoms through enduring efforts that lead to selfless success that preserves.

Otherwise, the success that you achieve for selfish reasons is temporary. For instance, you conquer others, and then they defeat you. However, suppose you want permanent success in harmony with the universe. In that case, success benefits everyone, and you can achieve it through moral actions. With morality and trust, you can gain a link to the Supreme.

‘Among those looking for success, I am the morality.’ Bhagavat-Gita.

Still, to achieve what you want, you must have a reliable source of knowledge and know how to use your words and act. Otherwise, you may act unwisely and will not attain success.

Moreover, suppose you have Pushya Nakshatra in your chart. In that case, you should acknowledge that you need a teacher, a guru and that you may be dependent on good advice. Remember that it may become your weakness if you are overly reliant on advice or tend to get the wrong direction.

On the other hand, it can be your strength if you can get good advice. Then you can achieve success and prosperity.

Still, if Pushya functions well, you know how to use words to advise and give people the right thing and help them the right way to do the right things.

If you have Pushya in your chart, you are devoted, grow, flourish, prosperous, moral, learned, charitable, favourable, nourished, and wealthy. Also, you are honest, ethical, wise, a great speaker who respects tradition and is self-sacrificing, good-hearted, intelligent, intuitive, learned in shastras, balanced, travel-loving, independent, upright, responsible, well-organised, controlled, religious, conventional, helpful, unselfish, caring, spiritual, generous for unprivileged, undecisive, arrogant, idealistic, spiritual sometimes even fanatical.

Moreover, you treasure closeness with family, are high-minded, and persuade your spiritual views and beliefs. You may be called the philosopher of the zodiac, who believes that there are rules that you must follow. You may even be fanatical, orthodox and express conventional beliefs. Also, you can be patronising as you believe only you are right and others are wrong. Still, you want to share your knowledge, wealth, and prosperity. You make a great teacher, preacher, and professor due to your high intelligence. You are inclined to pray and meditate and like to perform fire rituals.

When Pushya in your chart functions well, you can succeed due to your intelligent, efficient, and competent actions rooted in your intelligence and attaining from a good source of guidance.

When Pushya does not function well in your chart, you never feel ready or fully prepared. You need to get the right advice and information. It would help if you had more patience, learned for yourself, and did not thoughtlessly follow easy ideas and resolutions. This trait may appear when there is a misalignment with planets.

Life lesson

Put your knowledge and advice to the test in the real world, step by step, and you will know if you are ready; keep away from the extreme procrastinating of action or acting without reasoning. Retain the balance between preparation, advice and action; put your knowledge into endeavours, check the advice, and put the words of wisdom into action.
