Nakshatras / Pushya
Pushya Nakshatra पुष्य
Nature of Pushya
Pushya is the most nourishing nakshatra — the udder that feeds without asking who drinks. Saturn's rulership adds duty to kindness: care delivered on schedule.
Marriage & relationships
The marriage partner of Pushya is fed, funded and quietly protected; the risk is over-giving until resentment ferments.
Deva gana — a sattvic, gentle temperament; in Gana-koota matching it pairs most easily with Deva and Manushya nakshatras. Madhya (Pitta) nadi. In Kundli Milan, two partners of the SAME nadi trigger Nadi dosha (0/8) unless a classical cancellation applies — the single highest-weighted check.
Career
Medicine, teaching, dairy and food, civil service, priesthood, HR — professions of institutional care.
