Pushya is the 8th nakshatra, spanning 3°20' – 16°40' Cancer. Its symbol is the cow's udder, its presiding deity Brihaspati, and its Vimshottari lord Saturn. The nourisher: considered the most auspicious nakshatra for growth and care.

Is your Moon in Pushya?
Your janma nakshatra is fixed by the Moon's exact position at your birth minute — a birth time even 20 minutes off can shift the pada. JYTS.H computes it from Swiss Ephemeris data and reads your full chart, dasha timeline, and daily sky against it.
