Qualities

Pushya, ruled by Shani with Brihaspati as its deity, is widely regarded as one of the most nourishing nakshatras. Its symbol, the cow's udder, speaks of care, sustenance and generosity. The day favours learning from a teacher, spiritual practice, caring for others and steady, sincere work. Discipline and devotion meet here, and simple acts of service carry quiet strength.

Shakti: The power of spiritual energy that nourishes and protects.
