Exalted, and a closed ear

Pushya Nakshatra

Pushya falls entirely in the sign of Cancer and, as per mythology, it is ruled by Lord Brihaspati.

Lord Brihaspati is the teacher of the gods, providing the guidance and direction that even the gods need. While researching Pushya, I was reminded of the opening phrases of the Bhagavad Gita, where Lord Krishna is described as the milker of its elixir. He extracts the milk of spiritual wisdom. Lord Brihaspati has a similar role: he extracts spiritual wisdom and imparts it to the gods, who in turn pass it to us.

Lord Brihaspati's primary duty is to pass divine knowledge and wisdom to the gods. A Pushya native can therefore be a teacher, mentor, guide, trainer or consultant. As per mythology, Lord Brihaspati guides Lord Indra, the king of the heavens. This may translate to the Pushya native being an adviser to a king, like the old and wise mentor whom a king consults in films set in ancient times.

Jupiter in Pushya

Jupiter in Pushya is a very strong position. Jupiter is exalted here, so you naturally have a philosophical view on life. You must explore even simple things, such as friendship, philosophically. Why do we need friends? Would our friends be in our lives if it were not convenient for them? Would you be in their lives if it were not convenient for you? You have the wisdom and ability to think about such questions deeply.

You are very likely to be spiritually inclined. You can be an inspiration for others in the field of judiciary, in the field of political science, or public administration, economics, law and order, or even spirituality, irrespective of where Jupiter is placed in your chart. You are likely to make an attempt to be on the right side of everything, to be truthful and honest. You could be known for your morality and your honesty wherever you are.

Jupiter in Pushya is a strong position, and in the field of education, I believe you'll find plenty of opportunities to study further. This is an excellent position if you'd like to do your second master's or go for a PhD. You may even get to travel for the purpose of education as we are combining the main planet linked to travel, foreign travel in particular, which is Jupiter with the education sector, which is Pushya. You have the ability, very importantly, to extract the true meaning of a complex topic for others, like someone who's explaining the Bhagavad Gita.

You extract, or you make an attempt to extract the true meaning of the Bhagavad Gita for the world. That's Jupiter in Pushya for you, as such extraction requires wisdom and patience. It's a coming together of wisdom and patience, Jupiter and Saturn. The only downside is that you may understand what you are doing from a work point of view, for example, or in life.

You may understand it so deeply and so philosophically that you may not be open to receiving an opinion from others, as that's the Tamasic energy that's linked to this Nakshatra. Having said that, the person is going to remain very open to learning and would not shy away from admitting to one's misunderstanding of a concept. Altogether, Jupiter in Pushya is a strong position. You may also be known for your generosity and forgiving nature.
