These are caring people with good intuition who listen well to others, understand their psychology, and accept them as they are. This pada is motherly, nurturing, and brings out the motherly qualities of the Punarvasu Nakshatra. It also provides sensitivity and sensuality.

In this pada, attachment issues may arise (to children, a loved one, or projects).

Any planet located in this pada becomes sensitive. Jupiter is exalted here. Mars, despite its debilitation, brings positive results.

These individuals may have an attractive appearance, charm, and often possess the potential to earn money and hold a good position in society. If their moral and religious principles are challenged, they may become aggressive. They are fragile, vulnerable, and often experience sorrow and mental pain. They do not have a particular body type or overall appearance. Many of them bear a distinguishing mark: a scar, mole, or a limp.

The decision-making process can be overly complex for them. They prefer others to assume responsibility. It is known that these individuals often fall victim to peer pressure, as they struggle to stand their ground in challenging situations.

Those born under the Pushya nakshatra have high intellect, which is not dependent on their level of education, and they are excellent conversationalists. They are capable of achieving significant professional success, but their success tends to fluctuate. There is a tendency for betrayal from business partners or impulsive decision-making, which can lead to financial losses.

Suitable professions for them include fields related to communication, education, and marketing. It will always be beneficial for them to expand personal and professional boundaries to sustain ongoing professional success.

They are loyal to their parents. Marital relationships are strained due to challenges in trusting others. However, patience will help them find a suitable partner and build strong relationships.

They may face serious health problems from childhood. In later years, there is a tendency toward liver diseases, digestive issues, and respiratory ailments.
