The second chance, doubled

Punarvasu Nakshatra

Punarvasu falls in the signs of Gemini and Cancer and, as per mythology, is ruled by Goddess Aditi. She is the mother of all the gods known to reside in the heavens. That is why this Nakshatra is the most maternal section of the sky.

Goddess Aditi provides food, shelter and protection. Healthcare, hospitality, housing and industries that protect society are therefore directly linked to Punarvasu. I would also add public transport: while travelling by bus, train or aeroplane, we can feel the comfort of home.

Airlines brand themselves as offering a home in the sky, with the same peace as your own living room. Trains convey a similar message. Many overnight trains offer a comfortable and cosy cabin for travelling from one part of the world to another. Public transport is directly linked to Punarvasu. The Indian Railways' slogan is “Lifeline of the Nation”.

Jupiter in Punarvasu

When Jupiter is in Punarvasu, I think the Nakshatra's ability to provide another opportunity after a failure is doubled because Jupiter also signifies growth opportunities. Together, this is a very strong position. Life is likely to be kind.

If you fail, you might get another chance. You are going to be firstly very lucky. Secondly, if you are involved in businesses, you run your business to the highest standard of moral ethics. You might run a business which is carbon neutral.

These days, we hear businesses becoming more and more conscious about climate issues. The person can get to travel repeatedly in one's life. Foreign travel, exposure to different cultures can be part of the person's life. The person can also become very lucky to find a teacher in one's life who's like a mother to the person.

The person may end up playing that role in the life of others, protecting people through one's knowledge. The person can be an advisor in the healthcare sector, like in the UK, you first meet a GP, a general practitioner, who then advises you what specialised treatment is required for you. The person would make an excellent motivator, counsellor, public speaker, business advisor, a consultant of any kind, particularly if the sign is Gemini. I think the person's consultancy and advisory skills are going to be unparalleled, then the person is going to come across as very trustworthy.

The person can also have a career in judiciary. Here, a person can reach the highest office where decisions are made affecting our society. We are now removing the restrictions on gay marriage. We are embracing homosexuality.

A decision is being made of that kind, which is protecting the rights of people. Jupiter in Punarvasu-like person can be behind that, and the person's thinking is going to be such. Everyone welcome, all-embracing. The person would make an excellent host of any kind.

The self-sacrificing nature would be seen in the person's way of doing things. The person would end up doing things for a higher purpose. That I have to sacrifice living with my family to study further in this new institute, which is far away from my home. On a higher plane, the person can sacrifice living with one's family for the sake of a higher purpose, raising the issues of one's country to the world.

The person may even move away in pursuit of spirituality, sacrificing the comforts of home for a higher purpose. Jupiter in Punarvasu is a very interesting and strong position. If you have it, you should consider yourself very lucky.
