About Pushya Nakshatra

Pushya is considered the most auspicious nakshatra, ruled by Saturn and governed by Brihaspati, guru of the gods. It nourishes, protects and supports spiritual growth, making it ideal for auspicious beginnings.

Each nakshatra spans 13°20′ of the zodiac and is divided into four padas. The Moon's nakshatra at birth (your Janma Nakshatra) seeds the Vimshottari Dasha and the auspicious starting sound for naming.
