Questions people ask

Who is the ruling planet of Pushya nakshatra?

Pushya is ruled by Saturn. People born with the Moon here begin life in Saturn Mahadasha in the Vimshottari dasha system.

What is the gana and nadi of Pushya?

Pushya belongs to Deva gana and Madhya nadi. Its yoni (animal symbol) is the sheep.

Which nakshatras match best with Pushya?

Using each nakshatra’s mid-point, the highest traditional Guna Milan scores for a Pushya boy are with Ashwini (30.5), Ashlesha (29), Hasta (28). Real results depend on the exact Moon degree and the other koota rules, so always check both full birth charts.

Does Pushya have Nadi dosha with Bharani?

Pushya shares Madhya nadi with Bharani, Mrigashira, Purva Phalguni, Chitra, Anuradha, Purva Ashadha, Dhanishta, Uttara Bhadrapada, so the Nadi koota scores 0 with them. Tradition cancels this in several cases (for example the same nakshatra in different charans). See the Nadi dosha page for the rules.
