The king who mishandles the wisdom

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.

Sun in Pushya

When Sun is in Pushya, here you find yourself as a philosophical leader, politician or business leader, building the strategy and framing the vision, mission and company plans. Both Sun and Pushya belong to the caste of a Kshatriya. Leadership is your future, one way or the other, you'd find yourself occupying that position. The good news here is that your leadership style is built on a philosophy.

People respect you, not only for the position you occupy or the position that demands respect, like you being the Prime Minister, the people respect you for your position. Not only that, they also respect you for your vision for the country. A Sun-Pushya-like person has the capability to be that person, a top bureaucrat, or the ones who were in a leader's position from the government side during COVID. COVID-related policies were framed to protect us and a Sun-Pushya-like person can be behind it.

Sun is directly linked to eradication of diseases and Pushya is indirectly linked to the healthcare sector. Sun symbolises our soul and so there's a high possibility the person can be very spiritually inclined and can even be a spiritual leader of some kind if Sun is placed and linked to houses related to one's personality in particular. The person would be renowned for one's consistency and nobility. The word of honour, I think, belongs to a Sun-Pushya-like person.

The person would walk the talk, would lead by example. The only downside is that the person may come across as someone who knows a lot. Imagine a king who's also knowledgeable about spirituality. The king may not handle that responsibility, the responsibility of knowing spiritual wisdom very well.

Knowledge can also be some sort of a superpower and not everyone can handle it and a Sun-Pushya-like person needs to handle this delicately. Spirituality should not be mixed with political science. On the whole, I find Sun in Pushya to be a strong position. I think researchers, scientists, educators who make a huge name in the society have a strong Sun-Pushya influence in their charts.
