Symbolizing three elephants joining trunks together, Arudha stands for patience, understanding, cooperation, diplomacy, and meditation. Proper occupations involve yoga, philosophy, religion, teaching, counseling, and social welfare activities.
8. Punarvasu is the seventh constellation in Vedic Astrology, covering 20°-32°20′ Cancer in the zodiac. It is ruled by Jupiter (Guru), who symbolizes growth, expansion, and guidance. The name “Punarvasu” means “return of light” or “restored blessings,” indicating renewal and recovery after setbacks. People born under this star cluster are believed to be learned, intelligent, and skilled in various fields such as business, finance, law, science, and the arts. They possess great confidence, optimism, and self-assurance that help them overcome obstacles and achieve their goals. However, excessive indulgence, overconfidence, and lack of discipline may lead to problems if not handled properly. Keywords for Punarvasu include education, higher learning, philosophy, spirituality, material gain, and creative skills.
9. Pushya is the eighth constellation in Vedic Astrology, spanning from 13°20′-26°40′ Cancer in the Zodiac. This constellation is ruled by Lord Siva/Lord Brihaspathi and is known to promote nourishment, sustenance, and preservation. The word ‘Pushya’ translates to mean ‘to preserve’. Individuals born under this star are generally blessed with good fortune, prosperity, longevity, and happiness through divine intervention. They are also considered nature lovers and protectors, hence they tend to engage themselves actively in conservationist activities. On other hand, when afflicted, pushya could result in lethargy, indifference, and dullness toward life which results in failure. Other qualities attributed to pushya include generous hearts, kind souls, and always being ready to take up responsibilities assigned to them.
10. Ashlesha is one of the twenty-seven lunar mansions (nakshatras) in Vedic astrology, corresponding to 26°40′-10°00′ Cancer in longitude. It is the first of the ten Navamsas owned by Mercury (the planet of intelligence). The symbol of Ashlesha is a serpent curling around itself, representing hidden energy, coiled passion, and potential danger. People born under this Nakshatra are said to possess sharp intellect, quick wit, intuitiveness, and charming personality. They are usually good communicators, writers, scholars, and teachers. Their innate curiosity drives them to explore new things and seek knowledge. If uncontrolled, these tendencies can turn into intrusiveness or manipulation. A balance between intellectual pursuits and emotional stability is essential for those born under Ashlesha to make the best use of their talents. Ashlesha is an important lunar station located at 17°20 Capricorn and represents the tail end of Shravana. Its imagery is centered on a subtle serpent, symbolizing its influence over our deeper psyche and instinctual responses. It governs ancestral memories and ancient traditions. These energies will bring challenges related to fear, guilt, paranoia, and obsession; however, once mastered, they can provide insights into subconscious patterns, inherited karmic debts, and spiritual evolution.
11. Magha is the eleventh lunar nakshatra (constellation), spanning from 06°40′ to 20°00′ Leo. It is ruled by Pitr, the godly spirits of the ancestors. Magha natives have leadership qualities, administrative skills, determination, royal character, and a love for history and tradition. This constellation confers longevity, wealth, fame, power, and dominion over others. It gives natural protection against poisons, diseases, and accidents. There may be obstacles during early life but after the age of forty natives receives all comforts of life without any hard work
