Auspicious Activities
Pushya is the best & most auspicious nakshatra for any auspicious endeavour except
marriage. The moon transiting Pushya on a Thursday or a Sunday provides preeminent
auspiciousness; especially if the event can begin while the moon is in the 2nd pada (a
pushkara amsha).
Almost anything can be accomplished quickly and easily under Pushya nakshatra. It’s a
good day for maintaining your health, your relationships, or your social structures. The
energy of the day is light and swift, so you can just pop in and say hello to an old friend,
connect with members of the municipal government. The Ksetriya energy makes it a
good day to fight for justice or shine a light on what’s really important and meaningful for
you. It’s a great day to start any kind of self-help, wellness, healing; especially if it
involves the community. Spiritual gatherings can have a very strong effect; especially in
honour of our guru’s of preceptors. Women might honour their husbands on this transit.

Laying a foundation stone, having a grand opening ceremony, making your first sale or
purchase, or marking the beginning of any new project under Pushya promises growth,
expansion and continued success. This is the best nakshatra for gold purchases as well.
Only marriage is to be avoided when the moon is in Pushya.

Qualities of Pushya

harshly and began intense austerities (tapasya) in order to get a boon from lord Vishnu.
When she had finally succeeded in getting his favour, he was helpless to reverse the
curse. What he could do for her was to transform her into a holy stone. She would
continue to be regarded as a stone but would be known as Devashila and become an
object of worship in the homes of those who follow Dharma. All the devas/gods would live
in the stone named Devashila.
Deva: The planets relating with the Devas will promote more refined and righteous
behaviour; but may struggle with pride and entitlement. They are more capable of
understanding the subtitles of life. This is also used in chart matching. They say it’s best
if both parties belong to the same tribe (8 points). However, they say that a deva and a
rakshasa will get one point for the attraction of opposites). This is a very important
classification suggesting that the way these three tribes (devas, humans & rakshasa) live
is so different as to have a major effect on marriage compatibility and living together.
Kshetriya: Warrior caste likes battle, leadership, politics, war and sports. Competitive
challenging activities that build heat.
Dharma: focused on following dharma; reaching for one’s own highest spiritual potential.
Planets which support dharma will support a person on their soul path to the highest
order. Planets belonging to the other castes will result in a mix of the castes. The energy
of the planet in a dharma position will also help one find their purpose in life.
Laghu / Kshipra – Swift / Light: Supports any kind of quick, light activity like short travel,
quick easy interactions with people, sports, games, arts & crafts, educational pursuits,
decorating, dressing up, dating, hanging out with friends. It’s a good day to appreciate the
simple things in life, treat yourself to a little tender-love n care, a spa treatment, yoga, as
well as most holistic remedies. It’s also good for most of the “moveable” activities, like
travel, and making changes as long and they’re fairly quick and easy. Making money
move in various ways, especially light, swift transactions: buying, selling, borrowing,
conducting trade, or the personal side of business getting to know clients, having a
business lunch. This is similar energy we see on Thursday. Ashwini, Pushya, Hasta, Abhijit
are all swift & light.
Passive: Planets here will be more passive about achieving their goals: allowing things to
happen rather than “forcing” things. The moon is said to persuade through temptation so
she does well here. Venus draws us in by her promises of beauty so she also does well.
Saturn is the master of patience so he also does well. The active planets can cause a bit
of trouble in trying to force things that we should just allow to happen naturally.

Tamasic: Activities take part on the gross physical plane: dark, depressed, dull, inert
activities that obscure reality and keep us in the dark. Some kind of gross suffering is
usually felt here and there’s a lazy sort of laissez-faire sort of laziness of lethargy. The
energy here typically pulls a person down as it represents neither change or purity. There
is typically some suffering and darkness of mind experienced here. Tamasic has no
nutrients and the prana is not moving; it’’s stale or dead. In Pushya they get their spiritual
energy from this muck. The three part classification is Raja – Sattva – Tamas
Water: heavy, cold, movable, fluid, moist, liquid, soft & hard, clear
Urdhva Mukha – Facing Upward: All these things that cause us to look upwards:
mountains, church spires, temples, trees, birds, high places, and tall buildings. The
intention might also be in building upwards or climbing the corporate ladder, or just
looking to the future with hope and optimism. This can also be a good day for climbing
ladders, flying in airplanes, launching rockets or missiles or investing, and all other things
that will move you up the social ladder. Sun, Moon & Jupiter generally do well in the
upward-facing nakshatras: Rohini, Ardra, Pusya, [Link], [Link], Sravana,
Dhanista, Satabisha, [Link].
East: The activity of this nakshatra often happens in an eastern direction.

Independent, goes in head first, competes to be first. Rutting season is also fighting
season as the males bang heads to compete for dominance. Social dominance is related
to the size of the horns, height of the withers and hocks, and body mass. It’s common for
a single male to remain with a whole flock (as many as 50) of females. Otherwise males
will come together short term with small groups of other bachelors. Members of the flock
are usually connected through casual affiliation rather than social hierarchies like cows.
They have a strong affiliation with the flock and may become stressed, aggressive and
panicky when separated from the others..
Flock mentality, with ewes maintaining their maternal group for a lifetime. The flock
typically includes multiple females with one or two rams. As many as 40 – 50 ewes may
be managed by a single adult ram. Members of the flock are usually connected through
casual affiliation rather than social hierarchies like cows. They have a strong affiliation
with the flock and may become stressed, aggressive and panicky when separated from
the rest of the flock. They reach sexual maturity by 6 to 8 months of age and will go into
heat for about 30 hours every 17 days when in season. Mating behaviour includes
nudging, kicking, pawing, low stretches, and pushing. She will give off a scent and make
physical displays to show the males she is ovulating. They will occasionally be born
lacking functional ovaries and displaying more masculine behaviour. In pregnancy their
udders and vulva will swell up and vaginal, uterine or anal prolapse is not uncommon.
Although some ewes have had as many as nine lambs in a litter, it’s much more common
for them to produce only one or two. They have a uniquely curved cervix unlike most
mammals. Mineral and vitamin deficiencies can cause infertility. Selenium, copper
vitamins A & D are key.

The Brihaspati Smriti has been somewhat reconstructed to show that it was mostly a
text on the judicial process and jurisprudence. The Brihaspati sutras (also called the
Barhaspatya sutras) have also been reconstructed to offer a discussion on theories of
materialism and anti-theism and were followed by the Charvaka hedonists (non-
orthodox Hindus). There is argument over whether this text should be attributed to
Brihaspati since it mostly argues against classical dharma. But perhaps as astrologers
we can take this as a textbook for those with Jupiter debilitated in Capricorn which can
make a person excessively materialistic.

Jupiter – Zeus
Father of the gods and of the sky and the atmosphere. His symbols include a thunderbolt,
an eagle, a bull and an oak tree. His parents were Cronus (Saturn) and Rhea. Zeus was
the last to be born but he facilitated the release of his siblings who had been eaten by
their father so in a way they were born a second time by Zeus’s grace; thus they respect
him as the father of the gods. His siblings are Hestia, Hades, Here, Poseidon, Demeter,
Chiron. It’s said that Cronus (or Saturn) ate his children because of a prophecy that one of
[Link] 10/40
12.05.2024, 19:14 8. Pushya Nakshatra - Mikes Sleeping Dog
them would overthrow him as he has done to his father, Uranus. Cronus’ wife Rhea
couldn’t stand the children being eaten in that way so she wrapped a rock as a baby and
offered it to him while secretly allowing Zeus/Jupiter to escape. When Zeus grew of age
he confronted his father and then tricked him into eating some special herbs to make
him vomit. Once Zeus’ siblings were free, they proceeded to attack Cronus and overthrow
the kingdom. This is how Jupiter became the Father and king of the gods. Zeus of course
followed the same path of his father in killing his offspring so that there would be nobody
to challenge his rule.

Flower blossom:
The uppermost part of anything, rises upwards, reaches for the sun, brings beauty, peace,
sensual delight and fine fragrance. Almost every puja in India uses flowers as offerings or
as decorations.

examples among both camps below. But as always, the child eventually becomes the
father. Nietzsche has a popular saying that we are destined to become the monsters we
do battle with. This seems to be the case in Pushya; everything comes full circle. In the
French Revolution, most of those who were taking heads in the beginning, lost theirs in
the end.
I have also noticed every kind of ball represented here. The balls that fly thru the air as
well as those people go to for fun and frolic and dance. I was tipped off by all the iron
cannon balls that showed up in the literature about those with Saturn in Pushya. But
Venus has beautiful balls, and mars has competitive and firefly balls, Mercury uses balls
to play games, and the sun uses them to highlight his authority. Of course you can see
I’m mixing the definition of “ball,’ but Pushya is also known for its puns.
Health:
Facial twitches:
Hemifacial spasms and tics: more common with people over 40 and Aisians.
Relates with some specific damage to the 7th cranial nerve which affects facial
muscles. Surgery can take out this part causing the twitch.
Tourette’s Syndrome: greater tics to the motor nerves and the speech. Men are 4x
more likely to suffer. Usually symptoms arise in childhood and are believed to be
mostly hereditary. Deep brain stimulation treatments are available.
Parkinson’s disease causes tremors, stiffness and slow movements. It’s a
degenerative disease; getting worse with time. Early symptoms typically include
slight tremors of the lower lip, chin, hands, or leg. They don’t know what causes it,
but it can be treated with dopamine or marijuana. In extreme cases surgery is
available.
Lou Gehrig’s disease (or Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis) is a brain disease that
affects the nerves and spinal cord. Early symptoms include twitching, slurred

speech, and muscle weakness; it’s degenerative and fatal. They diagnose ALS
using a spinal tap and electromyography. There’s no cure but there are two drugs
on the market to treat it: riluzole (Rilutek) and edaravone (Radicava).
Hypo-Thyroidism slows down many of the body’s processes. Common symptoms
are twitching around the mouth, throat, and hands. It can also cause calcium levels
to decrease and while increase phosphorus. Treatment typically focuses on
increasing calcium intake and Vitamin D supplements; parathyroid hormone
injections are also available.
DiGeorge Syndrome, sometimes called “22q11.2 deletion syndrome,” can cause
underdeveloped facial characteristics, which can lead to twitching around the
mouth or cleft palate, bluish skin and difficulty swallowing. It’s usually diagnosed at
birth and there’s no way to prevent or cure it, but they can treat each symptom
individually.
Raynaud Syndrome: Tingling of the lips caused by shock or cold temperatures;
Basically just the blood leaving the area.
Strokes or mini-strokes can also show symptoms of facial paralysis or tics.
Potassium deficiency
Alcohol neuropathy
Bell’s Palsy causes partial paralysis of the face. Usually affecting one side. There
may be some connection with oral herpes.
The Limbic system controls our facial expressions in conjunction with our emotions.
Wernicke – Geschwind
Cerebrum is divided into various lobes or areas of the brain. It’s primarily the frontal lobes
and the temporal lobes that are involved in speech formation and understanding.
[Link] 13/40
12.05.2024, 19:14 8. Pushya Nakshatra - Mikes Sleeping Dog
Broca’s area is located in the front part of the left hemisphere of your brain. It has an
important role in turning your ideas and thoughts into actual spoken words. Broca’s area
becomes active right before you speak. Broca’s area also passes information to the
motor cortex which controls the movements of your mouth.
Wernicke’s area is mainly involved in the understanding and processing of speech and
written language. It’s located in the temporal lobe, just behind your ears. The temporal
lobe is also the region where sound is processed.
The arcuate fasciculus is a band of nerves that connects Wernicke’s area and Broca’s
area. It helps you form words, speak clearly, and understand concepts in language form.
The cerebellum is located at the back of your brain. The cerebellum is involved in
coordinating voluntary muscle movements like opening and closing your mouth, moving
your arms and legs, standing upright, and maintaining balance. It also controls language
[Link] studies suggest the cerebellum has a more important role in
processing language than previously thought.
The motor cortex takes information from Broca’s area and tells the muscles of your face,
mouth, tongue, lips, and throat how to move to form speech. The Motor cortex gives us
volitional control over our facial muscles. It allows us to express an insincere smile where
the limbic system offers up the sincere smile.

Praesepe: the Beehive, the manger, the crib, classified as Messier 44 (M44). The ancient
text of Judges in the Old Testament tells the story of Samson killing a lion on his way to
meet the maiden. On his return he encountered the beehive (or the manger). It should be
noted that the constellation Cancer was known then as “the carpenter.”
3 faint stars on the back of the crab’s shell: Aselius Borealis, Aselius Australis &
Praesaepe (known as M44 star cluster, a cloud made up of about 1000 stars). Known as
the mouth of orien.
Aselius Borealis is the Northern (male) Donkey & Aselius Australis is the Southern
(female) Donkey. Bacchus and Vulcan are said to have rode these donkeys in the war
between the Olympians and the Titans. The donkey braying is said to have frightened the
Titans as they approached, causing them to flee before the battle. They were placed in
the heavens near the Manger so they would never go without food. This relates to the
birth of Jesus.

Tree of Pushya
Grows up to 30.5 metres tall and may live for over 1000 years. It’s a symbol of the never

neem and tulsi they are one of the largest oxygen providers working 24 hours a day to
absorb CO2 and release O2. Seeds must pass thru the digestive system of birds in order

Exposition:
Pushya is the first place where energy begins to stabilise itself. Imagine we’re going for a
ride with the chaotic Ashwini twins, just wild and free; the sky’s the limit. Ashwini’s
purpose is to help, but for that they have to go where help is needed. So they go to Hell, to
Bharani, which usually starts off full of fruits and pleasant enough, but it doesn’t take
long before we realise that nothing in this world is “free.” So in Bharani we gather what
souls we can from the underworld and bring them to Krittika to empower them and give
them skills to rise up out of hell. But there is nothing easy about getting ourselves out of
hell; the pressure is more than any one can handle and we seek the shelter and
protection of Rohini. It’s lovely in Rohini, comfortable and cool with rhymes of sensual
pleasure befitting a king. It’s easy to understand why Chandra did not want to leave. But
we eventually get restless and are blown by the winds of our era in Mrigasira where we
look for a challenge; a little competition; or perhaps it finds us. But in competition
someone always bleeds and then Punarvasu teaches us that there are two sides to
everything, two versions of every story and we seek to understand our connection to a
greater humanity, there becomes a feeling of all of us being in this together. This is why
Punarvasu can be so charitable and seek to spread good will. This is ultimately what
[Link] 16/40

gives someone the position of father within a community: they consider the broader
implications through both critical and fiery discrimination and well as the sentiments
surrounding a situation. They are capable of engaging their mind beyond the logical as
well as beyond the emotional. These are the great fathers of humanity who try to
consider the long term impacts of their actions. When Saturn overthrew his father
Uranus he set a precedent which was followed by his own son, Jupiter, and which is likely
to be followed again by his son. Actually the current intellectual and political landscape
seems to be one in which the students now rule over their professors; so we are getting
all kinds of half-baked ideas.
Pushya is an orthodox placement focused on maintaining the rules of the community,
social manners, caste or class differences. It can be a passive and inert nakshatra
accepting these differences for what they are and doing little to change things in the
community. They will do their duty to maintain order and may dole out harsh
punishments to those who do not toe the line; but only because they care. They can be
righteous and spiritually minded. Sun here give a certain level of “self-righteousness” and
“spiritual egoism.” But most planetary placements will involve them in regulating the
home of the land through sacrifice, penance and renunciation. They do well as church,
religious or spiritual functionaries, as well as with charities. Venus here will give them a
love for these kinds of civic events and annual holidays. They like following procedures
and protocols and do well in most corporate or government jobs that involve these kinds
of things: police, military, border guards, lawyers, judges, heads of state. They are the
ones who will say: “I was just following orders or carrying out my duties; following orders.”
Early life is often difficult since children do not naturally conform to the rules of caste and
class. Life is likely to force them to rise up out of the muck of their past: from rags to
riches, from sinner to saint. Like King Henry V they can totally turn their back on their
past while hardly judging themselves for their past actions. They are usually admired and
respected for the determination, hard work and commitment to a rules-based order that
allowed them to rise. They usually like the attention so they are often relaying their
virtues to others and can be quite prideful. They are typically very responsive to praise or
blame which tends to make them seem a little stiff; which again does not make for an
easy childhood. They want to fit in, and they will likely become more social later in life.
Their quest for order typically suggests they may have a somewhat bland sense of style;
a utilitarian haircut with clean presentable clothing. They try to avoid anything
unpredictable which can keep them out of competitive sports (unless Mars is here which
will turn everything into a competition. Pushya does not like the aggressive energy of
Mars.
As they age, they typically take on some kind of bureaucratic responsibility or some other
position where they must impose institutional order. They work too much at a job they
[Link] 17/40
12.05.2024, 19:14 8. Pushya Nakshatra - Mikes Sleeping Dog
don’t like. They are often doing it for a higher cause: for family and society though it’s
likely their society will appreciate it more than their wife as their work typically keeps
them away from the home. Of course when you factor in the dryness of Saturn it
becomes likely their relationships will include infidelity as they seek passion elsewhere.
They can take on a lot of duties, become workaholics, exhausting themselves through
hard work and long hours. They do well in construction and carpentry or the variety of
inspection fields that ensure compliance to local specifications. Jesus was a Carpenter.
They can be involved with ceremonial occasions in several ways, as musicians, or MCs, as
artists, organisers, caterers, or any kind of ceremonial or bureaucratic functionary.
Women are typically involved with community and social affairs. They are well cultured
and well read and they like to entertain in the home; they generally like small games and
social gatherings. She usually has her own money, or perhaps the husband will be
generous, but either way she will spend much of it on club and church activities. They are
usually obedient to their husbands and will be hesitant to share their feelings about
certain things.
Cancer relates to water and waterways, while Saturn brings in the system and rules
allowing them to work as regulators in ocean or marine environments, biologists,
shipping and ship-building. They are good navigators and do well working under the strict
procedures and protocols that are usually demanded in these fields. Incidentally, the
valves and sphincters that regulate movement of water in the body can also be affected
by placements here. This can relate to the movement of blood, of hormones, digestive
juices and the movement of food and water that we intake and eventually return to
nature as bodily waste. Saturn here can make rigid blue-blooded types. Somewhere
amongst all of this I expect we can find type Type-O blood, which can be donated to
anyone but they can only receive Type-O blood.
Cancer: Parental, motherly, protecting, nurturing, rhythmic, habits, boundaries, roads and
pathways, waterways. The home, the mother, the caregiver, the caretaker. Land, any
bound space.

Ascendant in Pushya
Behari General Indications: “There may be a distinguishing mark, scar or a black mole on
the face. You may have an indecisive nature. You will act properly in most situations, but
be cautious of acting selfishly. You may possess a naturally duplicitous nature. For some
reason, due to past lives, or parental influence, you may be very needy and desire
more attention than you are able to distribute. You respond quickly to admiration and
become quickly deflated by criticism, giving yourself to love and affection with sincerity
and appreciation, yet you are ever mindful of slights and hesitate to form strong
attachments. As already explained above, the inherent freedom available in all walks of
life may lead you to bad company. You must be cautious of friends. You will be fond of
good clothes. You will jump upon any work without judging or thinking whether you are
capable. Be cautious of this trait, it may have detrimental effects. You may not be a good
anticipator. You are very good in certain work and sweet words are a natural expression
for you. It would be better if you assessed your capacity and ability for the specific field
where you can excel and then start doing the job. If that is done, nobody on earth can
stop you in achieving the best result. One of the plus points for you is that you are not
vulnerable to defeat and you push your way up through several obstacles. Even if you do
not have any basic education, you will show extraordinary intelligence and knowledge on
any matter of discussion. Another plus point for you is that you resist any idea or work

which is not ethical. You may be of the opinion that all wrong doers must be punished.
You will carry out any work entrusted to you with the utmost sincerity and certainty. Be
cautious of an independent nature, which may affect the results of your work. Your
abilities are many faceted but your success is as probable in the theatre or arts or in
commerce. There is an indication of poverty up to the age of 15-16, improvement comes
and will go up and down until the age of 32. From the age of 33 years, there will be
remarkable all round improvements economically, socially and in health. You may leave
your home in order earn a living. You will normally undertake work where maximum
traveling is involved. There may be some problems in the family circle and you may have
to depend on others for even day-to-day requirements. Due to this dependency during
childhood you may become quite independent when you grow up. Circumstances may
also warrant that you will be separated from your spouse and children even though you
are attached to them. You may expect your spouse to be thoroughly self sufficient, with
creditable talents and to be correct and conservative in manner and dress. You will be
attached to your parents. Be cautious of health problems in childhood.”
Shil-Ponde Female with Pushya Ascendant: ”Distinctly the club-woman type is found
here. She is well-read, cultured and active in all community and social affairs. In her
home she entertains and is fond of indoor games, bridge parties and social gatherings at
which she is a charming and capable hostess. She will have her own money or her
husband will be generous in his allowances to her and she will spend much of it
on church and club activities and with charitable organisations. If she cares to adopt
some public career, she will become very well known.”
are desirous of possessions and cautious. They can best take up occupations of a
fluctuating nature.” — B.V. Raman
Commentary: Maa Yoga practices what would be Vedic fire rituals but with water and
flowers. It also tends to be a kind of trendsetter in regards to culture. Culture has, of
course, become a hot commodity in modern yoga. Pushya natives are beautiful and stuck
up, somewhat elitist, attached to their home culture, caretakers, landowners, protectors
of old ways. The Cancer part of this keeps them following a rhythm, the Saturn part of
Pushya connects them to reality. They follow the seasonal and local rhythms of nature
and culture. Most of these people spend considerable time maintaining their physical and
mental health; but what’s the difference between following long established rhythms of a
place and people and taking care of our health? The two are intertwined. And other than
the 4th pada, these women will hold themselves with a kind of look at my face and not
my breasts kind of demeanour. They are usually ladies, not girls.

Sun in Pushya
Harsh father figures? Home routines may all revolve around the father figure. Pushya is a
little like a pedestal with the Sun standing up there. It’s like the star on top of the
Christmas tree. There can be a talking head effect in this nakshatra. We see it in the
lighting of Rembrandt’s portraits, the see it with Woody Harrelson making a name for
himself working behind the bar on cheers. A few others on the list are administrators or
office workers sitting or standing behind a desk all day. All just talking heads in a sense.
The Sun in Pushya can concentrate a lot of power into one place. We find that with
dictators like Chavez & Mussolini. Jois & Oyama also ruled their space with a kind of iron
fist. On a spiritual note, this position has much to do with visualising the radiance of the
Sun inside of ourselves; radiating from the centre of our chest.
Rembrandt: masterful handling of light and shadow that often suggest deep human
emotion and spiritual transcendence. He came up with the use of a spotlight in painting
– a beam of light lightens the head and shoulders of the main figure, while leaving
everything else in shadow. Chiaroscuro: technique popularised in film noirs where a single
beam of light is used to highlight.
Bepin Behari Sun in Cancer: “will send a message to understand the worldly obligations
but not get emerged in it. Destroy your personal affiliations without the world realising
that you are neglecting your social obligations.”
“Three of the four elements are shared by all creatures, but fire was a gift to humans
alone. Smoking cigarettes is as intimate as we can become with fire without immediate
excruciation. Every smoker is an embodiment of Prometheus, stealing fire from the gods
and bringing it on back home. We smoke to capture the power of the Sun, to pacify Hell,

to identify with the primordial spark, to feed on the arrow of the volcano. It’s not the
tobacco we’re after but the fire. When we smoke, we are performing a version of the fire
dance, a ritual as ancient as lightning.” — Tom Robbins
“People of every class were bringing the Surya Namaskara described in the yoga shastra
into practice. This they did with the feeling that they were performing a righteous action
which was a daily duty, for they knew the blessings of the Sun God are essential to good
health.” — Pattabhi Jois

Moon in Pushya
The classics say that one born with Moon in Pushya will have amiable features, control
their passions and complete many charitable deeds. The native will be well liked, rich,
intelligent, knowledgeable in local stories and myths and many branches of knowledge;
he will love Gods and Brahmins. They can be very angrily disposed, bold but patient,
talkative, learned in many branches, be helpful to his relatives, and have a large circle of
relations, will be a thief, wealthy, and independent. They are happy with little but can be
fast walkers.(The Classics: Brihat Samhita, Sage Narada, Jataka Parijata, Varahamihira.)
Rhythms of parenting duties, protecting and nourishing the laws of the land, father
figures, experienced parental figures, pragmatic caretakers, economics, civil service. They
can be stiff and unbending in their idea about the way things should be. They like to have
a very predictable rhythm, soothed by lawful costumes, protectors of ethno-social
structures, needs dignified orderly habits, lawful ascendance.
Pierre Paul Broca: The Broca’s Area of the brain is the centre of speech articulation;
responsible for controlling the movement of the muscles of the speaking apparatus: the
movements of lips, tongue, larynx, and pharynx. It plays the primary role in the creation
of programs of spoken production as well as phonetic-phonological, syntactic and
semantic aspects of language. It enables us to use and understand grammatical rules.
Broca’s zone or area is involved in the process of understanding the language, as well as
in the exercise of other language functions. Broca’s aphasia is characterised by non-
fluent speech, rare literary paraphrases, poor repetition, good understanding, and poor
naming ability. There seems to be two parts to this region of the brain. One that controls
the motor reflexes of our speaking apparatus which relates to Pushya. And another part
of Broca’s area that relates with learning ability, grammar and language that has some
relation with Punarvasu (taking note that Broca has Jupiter in Punarvasu).

point of light. That bird must be the Khu–this sweet bird of the night–a creature of divine
intelligence loaned to us just so much as the Ren or the Sekhem. Yes, the Khu was a light
in your mind while you lived, but in death, it must return to heaven. For the Khu was also
eternal.” — Norman Mailer
Pada
Bepin Behari Moon in Cancer: “the psychic bridge of the individual is orientated towards
the impulses coming from the higher sources. Many a time the individual may not
understand what messages are flowing through his mind but he will be receptive to those
messages and will like to express them at physical levels of existence.”
Moon in Pushya Pada 1, Leo Navamsha: They are natural authority figures playing a
central administrative role in politics, theatre, fashion, music, banking or the arts. They
are devoted to their work and typically have good mentors and repay society through their
own mentorships. They often have many children of students. They are usually well
respected and may gain fame in a foreign country. Early success can plague them with
scandal later on.
Moon in Pushya Pada 2, Virgo Navamsha: Pushkara Navamsha Pada – Bhagya 7°. They
are hard workers, service orientated, and often find ways to regulate unbalanced
situations or people somehow. They do well in criminal justice and health care fields as
they seek out rhythms of regulated logical argumentation. This also makes them good at
business administration and any field where they find themselves repeating the same
argument over and over again: planning, scheduling, media and these kinds of things.
They might uses criminal means to get ahead.
Moon in Pushya Pada 3, Libra Navamsha: Their main duty is to facilitate a peaceful
balanced atmosphere. They will like beauty and luxury in the home, living near water and
gardens, any kind of work connected with water: farming, fishing, caretaking, security.
They are often charged with the responsibility to regulate peace and facilitate agreement.
They might have contractual duties.
Moon in Pushya Pada 4, Scorpio navamsha: They have a nasty obligation of keeping
secrets. They can be fighters or traitors since Scorpio is the sign that crosses over to the
other side. They often have unspeakable duties. Dealing with sex or death can fall into
this category. This can relate to the unpleasantness of life and those really dirty jobs that
someone has to do. This typically allows them to gain the respect of outcast people while
getting scorned by most others. They can also get involved in the occult on some level.

Mars in Pushya
Nurtures thru competition and aggression. They typically have a difficult childhood with
too much aggression and conflict in the home as they impetuous youth seek to
overthrow the old ways. Parents are likely to be punitive in their enforcement. They don’t
usually do well in school because they are too busy fighting with teachers, police and
parents. They are Jupiter rebelling against their fathers corrupt ways and then adopting
those same corrupt ways to enforce [Link] home becomes a battle field rather
than a place to relax. Home may be more like a military barrack full of competitive
siblings rather than a proper nurturing loving caring environment. There could be some
problems with adrenals since they are so proactive in defending their boundaries. Of
course when you’re actively attacking everyone around you, you’re gonna feel insecure.
They do well in areas of home security and proactive jurisprudence. And they may say
they are “just being prudent” in being so aggressive. But this approach can work for
someone keeping the jungle from overtaking their land, gardeners, foresters, hedge
trimmers. Many of the construction trades can put this energy to good use. Mars in
Pushya does very well in the 6th house for military men being sent beyond their borders

to “fight for human rights and democracy” and very aggressive therapeutic methods of
treatment. Many of the “Wars” that governments fight against their own citizens come
from Mars in (or transiting Pushya) because it’s this energy which allows them to work
outside of the normal boundaries of jurisdiction by giving enforcement authorities extra-
judiciary powers. Of course this placement can easily become criminal if there are other
negative influences.

Mercury in Pushya
Messengers of “rules based order and international norms.” They tend to come up with
these norms in a logical manner based on loose agreement rather than following the
proper channels. They may seek to establish order in the use of speech and words while
at the same time using rhetoric and double-speak to enforce compliance. They send a
message about the consequences of non-compliance. In some ways this has become a
little like Mercury rebelling against his father (step-father) Jupiter. Mercury is not very
comfortable here. Mercury is already an impressionable youth and he doesn’t get any

12.05.2024, 19:14 8. Pushya Nakshatra - Mikes Sleeping Dog
clear direction from the wishy-washy ruler of Cancer. And it should be mentioned that
logic, rhetoric or even debate are not the best ways to come to an understanding of what
the norms of society are or should be. Social norms are very specific to place. It’s hard to
say that yours is the social norm just because you won the debate; the fact that there is
a debate suggests it’s not the norm.
Mercury will have a narrative of local cultures, security, protection, foundations; there can
be some cultural relativity due to Mercury’s ability to see both side. It will not always be
their own home and community they are talking about. They will however communicate
in a soft emotional rhetorical appeal and their reason and logic can get lost in the
emotional appeal. If Mars influences this Mercury they can be very impassioned and
emotional argument. If Rahu or Ketu offer further affliction their argument might not
even make sense.

Jupiter in Pushya
Founding father. Jupiter is exalted at 5°. Pride can become excessive in these people.
They may seem somehow holier than thou, they can be very caring and the women are
likely to have big nurturing breasts and the all embracing motherly qualities that go with
it. Men are also likely to have a well developed chest and be on the larger side. They
believe in an impartial judiciary and an open, free and permissive society. This is the
position of a democratic temperament. They have fairly open borders that are secured
through faith and belief in the system. Rules are only designed to make us more free.
They are very optimistic people but the positions of the Moon and Saturn can have a
strong effect on how far they are willing to go in the cause of freedom, and some can
become very dogmatic. They usually have a large faith-based family, possibly large
multi-family homes. This last point will certainly be the case when Rahu influences this
position; though with Rahu influence it could be more like a boarding house. Other factors
will be needed to know if you own the large home or just get the benefits of the space and
openness, but this Jupiter can also give large land holdings with some of them being set
aside for natural heritage. They will often be offering care, protection and provisions for
many children, and perhaps the whole community.
Jupiter In Cancer has to be careful of their excessive pride in the correctness of their own
beliefs.

Venus in Pushya
Venus wants to make more rules in the name of fairness. Venus is the Guru of the asuras
and Jupiter is the Guru of the Devas. We cannot expect Venus to do well in the place
where Jupiter is exalted. Venus will abuse the rules in the name of fairness. Venus is all
about optics so she can be more concerned with the way things look than how they
actually are. They can be very good at creating an image that is in compliance. They can
put on a very nice ceremony and are usually highly skilled at hospitality and may conduct
much diplomacy in the home in the quest for security and protection. They will tend to be
very agreeable people but this trait could end up backing themselves in a corner of
counterintuitive or counter productive situations. These are the parents who always say
yes; children love them, but what they are doing is not actually in the best interests of the
children.
Mother Teresa has been heavily criticised for the way she ran her charity. She often didn’t
offer medicine for cure or pain relief as she claimed people should die a natural death
facing God directly rather than through a more painless opiated gaze. Meanwhile there is
speculation that she was an addict for most of her life and then went to America for
medical treatment when she was herself ravaged by old age and hard living. An
incompetent hypocrite dressed in the clothes of the trusted parental figure. Of course

Rahu’s influence can really tilt this in a confusing way. They are able to recognise the
material value of the position, of the upper most part of anything. They can do well in
groundskeeping, gardening, and harvesting.
The value of the poppy, flowers and blossoms can be realised here: Friedrich Serturneris
given credit for the discovery of morphine in 1804 and these days of mass opium
addiction modern Afghanistan has become synonymous with the poppy. But the poppy
isn’t the only way to gain top value. Florists and those classical garland makers might
have this position. Martin Poolesland is a harvester of wild mushrooms. Andy Hug has a
peculiar ritual when he gets in the kick-boxing ring; he goes over and hugs his opponent.
The ring is very much a Cancer type bound space which is very much governed by rules
as in Pushya, and in walks Venus to us promote agreement in a fighting ring; because
who would want to beat the crap out of such a nice guy.

12.05.2024, 19:14 8. Pushya Nakshatra - Mikes Sleeping Dog
This is the most likely position for Blue Blooded Royalty. High class or closely tied to the
church. They represent the “old order” in some way. They can be cold-blooded, snobbish,
and far too high above most people to give them the time of day. They are like cold stiff
royalty, unless you are part of their inner circle; but to be there you have to follow a very
harsh protocol. They tend to have very rigid caste or class divisions. Even the less wealthy
people will maintain their position in society without seeking advancement. They might
be capable of keeping a “stone face” without showing expression or emotion. Of course
many of them end up studying law and becomes regulators of the land, hostels, hotels,
guest houses.
They can be over protective; defending both personal emotional boundaries as well as
erecting stone barriers around their home for security. They might even have a rigid
security detail protecting them when they are out. They become equally protective as
parents with their children. They will rigidly defend the old ways. They may have been
raised by servants or step mother whose focus was on enforcing rules rather than
offering maternal care and comfort. Give only cold comfort from a controlling mother.
Perhaps we can’t put all the blame on her. She is usually very focused on survival; she is
just trying to keep you alive. In Pushya this sense of survival might be for the whole home
community and culture where the mother is tearfully hugging her child dramatically
saying: you have to rise above all of that. You could say that they nourish by providing the
necessities, rules, structure, discipline usually by a very young age. Of course this can
make a person a little hard, but life is hard and if you want to get to the top you have to
work hard.
I would expect most of this group has land and properties in the family for many
generations. Those who don’t have landed property might find themselves work or give
service in care-homes, social service sector, providing meals to homeless, possibly even
adopting. Some people would say they are emotionally repressed, others might put a
positive spin on it and call it having control over their emotions; we could also debate the
merits of the wealth, power and heavy responsibility that many of these people have. This
is one of the most common placement of leaders.
Here we see the symbol of the circle coming out as a ball that flies through the air: the
tennis balls and cannon ball of Henry the V, Bernard Montgomery and others: hurling a
ball of iron through the air. Tiger Woods is hitting plastic golf balls, but he’s doing so with
iron; Henry Ford made big business for the ball bearing markets. It was obviously this
Saturnian energy that inspired Shakespeare to write about the young King Henry V whose
cold rule persecuted and executed even those who had been the closest of friends. He
had little tolerance for anyone stepping out of line. As usual one could find themselves
either giving or receiving this kind of treatment depending on the placement.

Rahu in Pushya
Alfred Alder can be very instructive for astrologers. His theory of organ inferiority
suggests that everyone has at least one weak spot in the body. Furthermore he pointed
out that this physical inferiority is connected to emotional inferiority in a certain area. He
believed that inferiority was one of the hallmarks of being human. And this is healthy so
long as it pushes us to overcome the problem and rise, but if it stagnates into bitterness
then we end up with an inferiority complex. But in classic Rahu fashion, this inferiority
complex masks itself as a superiority complex. His ideas about compensation involved

not only the idea that we might turn our weakness into a strength, but that other organs
would seek to compensate for the weak part. Done to a certain degree one might discover
a truly unique talent, but over-compensation was always a danger leading to health
problems in the organs and mental health problems like dark-ego, aggressiveness, or
hunger for power. He differed from the psychoanalysts in splitting the problem between
our relationship with ourselves and our relationship with society (Psychoanalysis focuses
predominantly on the individual). The community and the socio-historical-political forces
that shape the community are integral to understanding of an individual psychologically.
His focus was on what we call holistic healing. He had a rough outline of a personality or
lifestyle hierarchy: Leaners were the people who were unable to do things on their own.
They are dependent, fearful and neurotic. And then comes the avoiders who are scared of
failure or rejection. They are capable but they fly under the radar without taking any risks.
The rulers or dominant people will strive hard to get what they want without fear of
manipulating others. And finally there are socially useful people who are well balanced,
active, and outgoing. They are truly capable of accomplishing something in society. The
three main tasks that every human must contend with and seek mastery in are
employment, intimacy and social connection.
“Our idea of social feeling as the final form of humanity – of an imagined state in which
all the problems of life are solved and all our relations to the external world rightly
adjusted – is a regulative ideal, a goal that gives our direction. This goal of perfection
must bear within it the goal of an ideal community, because all that we value in life, all
that endures and continues to endure, is eternally the product of this social feeling.” ~

Ketu in Pushya
They manage to avoid most regulatory frameworks while being in the middle. Life might
be so regulated that they don’t even notice. Isabel Myers-Briggs just wanted a tool to
understand the personality differences in her marriage and ended up creating the most
standard tool of psychological diagnosis. Howard Schultz has made big business for the
dairy industry by selling coffee through his Starbucks chain. I’m pretty sure the
nourishing benefits of milk are muted once it’s mixed with coffee. Lila Baba is a young
naga baba who doesn’t care for the rules of society, but still finds himself married at a
young age while following a strict sadhana. Phineas P. Gage?, who has Ketu and Saturn
conjunct in this asterism, had an iron crowbar shot up through his jaw and brain. The
oddities of Ketu scattered his brain and he was never the same again. He lost much of his
social restraints and became practically degenerate. Bitcoin also manages to remain
outside of the frameworks of regulation while remaining fully within a block chain system.
