About this pada

Pada 3 of Pushya runs from Karka 10°00′ to Karka 13°20′ (3°20′ in all). This pada lies in Karka; its navamsa is Tula, ruled by Venus. The nakshatra's lord is Saturn, so a birth in this pada begins with the Saturn mahadasha. In the avakahada chakra (tradition), the name syllable of this pada is 'हो' (Ho).

What tradition holds

Tradition holds that Pushya is caring, responsible and devoted. Through its navamsa, tradition also sees these qualities here: balanced thinking, courtesy, a gift for bringing people together, and a feel for art and beauty. These are tendencies tradition describes, not a label on anyone; the real picture comes from the whole chart.
