Pushya is the eighth nakshatra, in the middle of Cancer. It carries nourishment and trustworthiness — quiet, dutiful care that makes things thrive, honoured as the most auspicious nakshatra for most undertakings. Those born under it are often generous, warm and dependable, attached to home and family, ethical and devout, and appreciative of life's comforts — decent and courteous, if happier with praise than with criticism. Honoured as the most auspicious of the nakshatras, it carries a steady, nourishing goodness.
Presided over by Brihaspati, priest of the gods, with the cow's udder as its symbol of nourishment. Its Vimshottari lord is Shani. Tradition exempts only marriage from its otherwise universal auspiciousness.
— Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra daśā adhyāya (Vimśottarī lords)
Span 3°20′–16°40′ Karka; lord Saturn in the Moon's sign — duty wrapped around care, the signature of reliable service. Muhurta work rates Pushya days highly for beginnings other than vivaha.
