About this pada

Pada 3 of Punarvasu runs from Mithuna 26°40′ to Mithuna 30°00′ (3°20′ in all). This pada lies in Mithuna; its navamsa is Mithuna, ruled by Mercury. The nakshatra's lord is Jupiter, so a birth in this pada begins with the Jupiter mahadasha. In the avakahada chakra (tradition), the name syllable of this pada is 'हा' (Ha). Here the sign and the navamsa are the same (Mithuna); this is called vargottama.

What tradition holds

Tradition holds that Punarvasu is hopeful, simple and generous. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: quick understanding, a gift for putting things into words, eagerness to learn, and the ability to adapt. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
