What Mars in Pushya nakshatra means
Pushya is Saturn's nakshatra, with Brihaspati as its deity and a cow's udder and a lotus as its symbols. It lies in Cancer, where Mars is debilitated. Saturn is neutral to Mars, so the graha meets its own weakness here more than any enemy. Pushya is the most auspicious of the nakshatras in muhurta, and Mars is uncomfortable in it.
The stay is a little over three weeks, and up to two and a half months when a retrograde falls on it. Nourishment, care of dependents, teaching and the slow growth of security are the themes. Mars asks for action in a field that asks for patience. The result is frustration in the home and irritability toward those one is meant to support.
The chest, breasts and stomach are Cancer's body areas. Mars in fall gives acidity, fevers that linger and disputes with the mother or over property held by the family.
What is shown is the person's relation to dependence. Mars in Pushya reveals whether the person can accept care and give it without resentment. Where the birth chart has the Moon in a kendra, the tradition reads neecha bhanga, and the period is more useful.
Taurus, Aquarius and Virgo Moons and lagnas have Mars in the third, sixth and eleventh, the houses Phaladeepika names as favourable. They gain through steady effort. Cancer Moons carry a weak Mars on the self and tire easily. Aries, Capricorn and Sagittarius Moons, with Mars in the fourth, seventh and eighth, should watch the home and the marriage.
Honour Brihaspati on Thursday with yellow cloth and turmeric, and Hanuman on Tuesday. Japa of Om Angarakaya Namah cools the fall. Parashara's dana for Mars is red lentils or copper, and feeding the hungry serves Pushya's own nature. Do not begin a quarrel in the family during these weeks.
