About this pada

Pada 4 of Punarvasu runs from Karka 0°00′ to Karka 3°20′ (3°20′ in all). This pada lies in Karka; its navamsa is Karka, ruled by Moon. 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 'ही' (Hi). Here the sign and the navamsa are the same (Karka); 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: warmth, sensing what others need, holding family and friendships together, and a good memory. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
