Punarvasu
Also called: punarvasu nakshatra
Punarvasu, the 7th of the 27 nakshatras (lunar mansions), running from 20°00' Mithuna (Gemini) to 3°20' Karka (Cancer) in the sidereal zodiac. Its symbol is the bow and quiver. Its presiding deity is Aditi, the boundless mother, bringing renewal, return, and safe harbour. Its ruling planet is Jupiter, so someone born with the Moon here begins life in Jupiter's dasha (planetary period). Its themes are return, renewal, abundance. Classically it is a movable (chara) nakshatra, good for travel, change and anything meant to move on.
