Punarvasu Nakshatra: Meaning
Punarvasu, the seventh nakshatra, good again, names Castor and Pollux and has Aditi as deity; its dasha belongs to Guru and lasts 16 years.
Punarvasu is roughly rendered as good again: the word joins again and good, resplendent. The precise reason remains vague, but the idea of the good that returns is appealing. In the ancient lists, the name is a dual, because the asterism comes down to two twin stars, Castor and Pollux, the second of which serves as the marker.
Its deity is Aditi, mother of the Adityas. It is given a house as its image, by those who count four stars for it and not two. Mother, house, the idea of return: everything fits together.
The seventh nakshatra, it begins at 20 degrees of Mithuna and ends at 3°20 of Karka. Three quarters lie in Mithuna, the last in Karka, with no particular distinction. Guru leads its dasha, which lasts 16 years.
Your Moon in Punarvasu
The Moon in Punarvasu gives one talent: being satisfied with little. Patience and the serenity of a good nature go with it, along with piety and a life at ease. A single trait is the exception: ideas that go against the grain. It reads as a way of thinking differently from everyone else.
Your Moon stood from 20° of Mithuna to 3°20′ of Karka. In the last quarter, it is in Karka, its own sign. The portrait applies to all four quarters. Your life opened in a Guru dasha.
Its ruler is Guru: life begins in the Guru dasha. It sits in Gemini sidereal and Cancer sidereal.
