Punarvasu nakshatra
Punarvasu nakshatra (Geminorium) Spread from
20:00 degrees Mithuna up to 3:20 Karkata.
Presiding deity Aditi, the ruling planet is
Jupiter. Symbol-Quiver (receptacle for arrows).
This is the birth nakshatra of Lord Rama. The
word Punarvasu is derived from Puna+ Vasu, which
means return, renewal, restoration or
repetition. The 12 Adityas were born of Kasyapa
in the womb of Aditi. The 12 Vasus are Indra,
Vishnu, Vaga, Twasta, Barun, Aryama, Pusa, Mitra,
Agni, Parjyanya, Vivaswan and Dinakar. The
mother Aditi of whom the Gods are born is the
repository of everything good-truth, generosity,
magnanimity, purity, aristocracy, beauty and
renown. It follows that this star is the cause
for these virtues. To start afresh after having
once broken off, to start a new life, to come
back from a distant land-all. Punarvasu
signifies these. It stands for freedom from
restriction and limitation, and boundless space.
The Gods, the children of Aditi, are basically
and essentially are different from children of
Diti, who are demons. The demons never had a
taste of divine nectar and therefore miss the
knowledge of fundamentals, fundamentals of
creation and mystery. They were engrossed with
or deeply emerged in enjoyment of the externals,
the materialistic aspect of the universe. Gold
and sex were the two immediate pursuits, which
made them extroverts. The Gods however, could
rip into the deeper texture of thins, they had
tasted the divine nectar and become partners in
supreme divine bliss and Punarvasu represents
all these.
Those born in the star Punarvasu are endowed
with children, have good qualities, wealthy and
they indulge in bringing difference of opinion
among friends. They speak very clearly and are
secretive in their dealings. They are learned in
the sciences and interested in personal
decoration with gems and gold ornaments. They
are givers and famous. They are religious,
attractive, carry out works of other women. They
are tolerant, satisfied with small things and
fast movers. They collect a good circle of
friends, daily eat good food, sacrifices and

enjoying and endowed with good progeny. Those
born in the Punarvasu star are noted to be long
lived, loved by wife, handsome, interested in
pomp, of good heart, high in conduct, with low
voice, like cereals, intelligent, thinkers, and
