Nakshatra

Pushya

Brihaspati·Saturn·Water

Pushya is considered one of the most auspicious nakshatras, blessed by Brihaspati, the guru of the gods. Saturn rulership provides discipline, patience, and enduring strength. Natives are deeply nourishing and supportive, always working for the welfare of others. They possess a calm, dignified presence and are natural counselors. Their spiritual inclination is strong, and they often achieve success through steady, persistent effort rather than sudden leaps.
