(Moon Sign Based)
Pushya constellation belongs not just to a zodiac sign but is also one of the integral elements which, if present in a zodiac, can dominate & influence all other planetary placements. It stands for nourishment & is the birth star of goddess Sita. This particular nakshatra requires careful analysis, given its importance in Vedic Astrology.
‘Pushya’ or ‘Pashyami’ is a constellation within the zodiac realm of Cancer which is potent enough to influence one’s life if positioned in certain houses of the chart. It spans from 3:2 degrees to 16:40 degrees in Cancer. In the favorable houses, it brings favorable results and in inimical houses, it feels suffocated and brings adverse results. Significant planetary placements also matter.
Pushya is known as the nourisher and it’s basis lies in health and preservation. This is to say that Pushya aims to nourish with what is healthy and favorable. We can take this not just in the connotation of relationships but intellect as well. With Pushya being a constellation which aims to nourish under the lordship of Jupiter, which resembles wisdom and vastness, it implies that a Pushya nakshatra person seeks to nourish their mind and expand their mental horizons.

Goddess Sita was born in this Nakshatra. She did not question even during her trial by fire, until a point where she couldn’t take it anymore and embraced finality through salvation. Being a Cancerian, they will selflessly give and nourish, but they also are extremely emotional and can only take so much, when their purpose in your life is served; they believe in parting with something beautiful to remember. If, however, someone is lucky enough to understand them and treat them with understanding and love and see this quality in them, they generally have the most beautiful family life one can imagine.
Pushya creates one of the 5 Pancha Mahabhutas or ‘the five major elements’. These include Air, Water, Fire, Earth, and Space. The formation of the element of Space amongst these five happens in Pushya Nakshatra.
Pushya Nakshatra people are forever students of life who will look out for teachers, books, places and people who add to the growth and wisdom within them. They also have notions about things which are born out of their own self-work and mental capabilities.
They seek answers within as well as without, constantly in a mode of expansion. This is the basic nature of Pushya which doesn’t come by age but by birth. A super-curious child pausing to understand how things work, move and process to make sense of it by themselves and then coming up with questions and getting curious and excited about them, or uncomfortable on not finding answers can possibly be a Pushya.
They have a mark of uncanny understanding of empathy from a young age, they will know what can hurt an adult, what can bring you down and what generally lifts a person up and by nature do things in accordance with it, this is a Pushya trait.

Based on Vedic Astrology, the Graha Devta or Ruling Planet for the Pushya Nakshatra is Saturn which imparts the quality of patience, commitment and practicality in the people of this Nakshatra. They are spiritual, disciplined and remain dedicated towards their goals.
The Adhi Devta gives mental clarity about the ruling planet and through them, we can come in contact with the divine energy source of the planet. The Adhi Devta of Pushya Nakshatra is Brihaspati, which blesses them with a strong sense of morality, ethics, good relationships, happiness from children and knowledge. Pushya born people are philanthropic and interested in supporting humanitarian causes.
Gender of any Nakshatra is used in Vedic astrology for matchmaking but if we deeply analyze this, we come to know a rather fascinating fact that the gender signifies our mental inclination towards material things and how we manipulate life’s challenges for our survival. The gender of Pushya Nakshatra is male which signifies that they will be courageous, persevering and capable of giving protection.
Dosha represents which type of disease will affect a person from a specific nakshatra. Pushya Nakshatra people shall be dominated by Pitta. Pitta represents the metabolism in the body and has the characteristic of transformation of food and water into energy through digestion. If the Moon of Pushya Nakshatra is strong in the personal birth chart, they will have a healthy body and mind and good mental growth but if afflicted, then they will suffer from thyroid or digestion-related disorders.
Pushya belongs to sheep yoni. Their natural instinct is to be fun-loving, romantic, flirtatious and fond of sex. In the general perception, they are artistic, likes to pursue causes whole-heartedly, and can achieve anything they put their mind to if they do not lose their focus.
Broad Instinct of Constellation In Indian philosophy, there are three Gunas, known as - Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas. These are known as the three processes that build a successful life.

Pushya belongs to Dev Gana, which is characterized by being diplomatic, socially sophisticated, and tactful. People belonging to Dev Gana are good in dealing with people in a suave manner and can sometimes be shrewd but only to deal with the situation at hand amicably. They are also into educational pursuits and self-development more than others.
Pushya nakshatra has the Water element, which signifies that the people born in this Nakshatra shall have a good memory and retention and good learning abilities. Water element also signifies that the people of this Nakshatra are empathetic and compassionate but could also be prone to mood swings.

While Rohini is a seductress, don’t just think love is all about seduction. Love is support, love is trust, love is faith, love is respect and love is understanding. The whole definition of ‘love is kind, love does not boast’ as mentioned in the Holy Bible is how a Pushya will love a Rohini. Pushya’s quiet resilience is not to be underestimated; Pushya will fill in the practical details within Rohini’s romanticism wherever required while ensuring that Rohini explores themselves the way they want to and with zero dominance. Not many are capable of loving a Rohini the way a Pushya can. We suggest Rohini to not make quick judgments and look deeper.

Pushya brings out the mirror for Mrigashira and they don’t really like it. Pushya will give you the truth as it is without sugarcoating but will try to be assertive yet soft.

Well, it brings growth, but not everyone can take it at all times, and we understand.

Ardra is a very eccentric and slightly on the crazier side of life. They like to do things in extreme. Extremity is often a part of their normal life while Pushya doesn’t understand why every mole needs to become a mountain. Ardra experiences intense passions, intense love, intense jealousies and intense stress, while Pushya handles the same things differently. If Pushya keeps taking things lightly and not behave with the same intensity in showing passions, Ardra might go elsewhere. Pushya can work hard or Pushya both can choose someone who match their maturity and emotional wavelength. Pushya, however, supports Ardra in a way no one can and doesn’t get unnerved in situations as easily as Ardra does.

Ashlesha finds Pushya boring. They don’t think Pushya is someone worth a long haul, so they speak to Pushya the way they wish to be spoken to, only to leave them soon. It is only after knowing Pushya’s secret, loving self which is extraordinarily loyal and understanding to Ashlesha which makes them fall in love emotionally with Pushya. This is also due to the underlying reason that Ashlesha’s are destined to never be understood by their partners and due to their nature, its hard to find or understand love in real forms, but with Pushya, an unconventional and emotionally deep bond forms for life.

Pushya gets insecure that Vishakha may exploit their sensual vulnerability only to treat them as everyone else or a ‘one-night stand’.

Pushya needs to understand that Anuradha feels romance in their spirit. While romancing around the whole day seems irrational to Pushya, they would be detached from their spirit if they don’t follow that road. Anuradha feels romance differently and will be the way they are so Pushya should learn to accept it. Pushya likes Anuradha and can love Anuradha as well; they only think Anuradha can be someone who lives in illusions throughout. While this can be true, it can be worked if Pushya choose to remain the rational one without making it obvious.

Pushya sees spirituality in ascetism alone. Jyestha thinks spirituality is a matter of the soul and the ‘spirit’ of who you are which can be nourished through experience. What others may call as ‘fun’ is a way of life, truth and knowledge for Jyestha which might as well contribute to their idea of spirituality to a huge extent. They can make a Pushya feel free, more alive and not be guilty about ‘living a little’. Life through the lens of Jyestha is intense yet wholesome and Pushya gets a slice of it when they decide to open up and trust Jyestha.
