Pushya Nakshatra: Name Letters, Padas and Nature

Pushya padas and name letters (naam akshar)

Each nakshatra has four padas (quarters) of 3°20′. A child born with the Moon in a pada traditionally gets a name starting with its syllable. For Pushya:

Pushya nature

Nurturing, wise and dependable, one of the most auspicious nakshatras. You support others and grow through service and learning.

Deva gana natives are said to be gentle, generous and idealistic.

Dasha at birth

Born with the Moon in Pushya, your Vimshottari dasha begins with Saturn, whose full period is 19 years. How much of it is left at birth depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra.

In Kundli matching

Gana, yoni and nadi come from the nakshatra and count for 6, 4 and 8 of the 36 points in Ashtakoota matching. The same nadi for both partners is the one traditionally avoided.

Match two kundlis

Name letters follow the traditional Avakahada chakra. Spellings of a few letters vary between regions.
