Pushya is widely regarded as the most auspicious of all the Nakshatras. Its name means "The Nourisher" or "To Thrive." The presiding deity is Brihaspati (Jupiter), the Guru of the Gods. This brings immense wisdom, expansion, and benevolence to this star. Saturn, the planetary ruler, adds discipline, structure, and service. The combination of Jupiter's wisdom and Saturn's discipline makes Pushya the star of the "Good King" or the "Wise Teacher." The symbol is the Cow's Udder. In Vedic culture, the cow is sacred because it gives milk (nourishment) freely and asks for nothing but grass in return. This symbolizes selfless giving. Pushya natives have a natural instinct to feed, nurture, and support society. They are the bedrock of the community. Another symbol is the Lotus, which blooms in beauty despite growing in the mud. This suggests that Pushya energy can rise above any circumstance to produce something pure and spiritual. Mythologically, Brihaspati is the priest and counselor to Indra (the King of Gods). Whenever the gods were in trouble with the demons, they went to Brihaspati for strategy and wisdom. Similarly, people flock to Pushya natives for advice. They are natural counselors, priests, and mentors. They uphold the Dharma (cosmic law). However, there is a legend where Brihaspati's wife, Tara, runs away with the Moon. This suggests that while Pushya is excellent at public duties and wisdom, it may sometimes neglect the emotional or romantic needs of the home in favor of duty. They can be "married to their work" or their cause. Pushya is associated with the concept of "Brahmavita"—knowledge of the supreme. It is not just about physical nourishment; it is about feeding the soul with truth.
