Regulation of the home + home lifestyle. Needs to impose order upon the parenting behaviors, particularly upon the role of the mother ( Gloria Steinem) and the maternal-child relationship.

A male with Pushya Chandra may take it upon himself to order and orchestrate the details of his wife's maternal-child nurturing behavior, due to his belief in Law and its consequences (Tom Cruise).

Chandra in a Nakshatra of Shani is emotionally oppressed. The feelings cannot express, for fear of punishment for non-conformism. Yet feelings may erupt in inconvenient settings, exposing the native to humiliation or accusation of hypocrisy.

Pushya is a delicate Nakshatra . Happy life for Pushya requires deep self-knowledge of one's own emotional needs. Pushya natives are born into a bit of a "catch-22" since the punitive parents have shaped this native into a "social performance machine" which is fueled by repressed emotion!

• Should Chandraoccupy a Nakshatra of in the final pada of Shani(Pushya, Anuradha, Uttarabhadrapada) at the time of birth, it is very likely that the entire period of the child's age 5-12 will occur during the Vimshottari Mahadasha of Budha .

• Parents of children with Chandra in a final quarter of a Shani-ruked Nakshatra should take note: you will be raising a highly mentalized, intellectually bright, critical, and argumentative child.

• Take note of the bhava and rashi of this child's Budha placement, and plan accordingly to support an inquisitive child who has already (in past lives) mastered the fine art of the critique!

• This child will find the holes in all of your arguments.

• Budha periods are easier to manage and produce improved results after age 32= the age of maturity for Budha

In order to mirror one's own subconscious emotional patterns, one attracts a core partner who expresses the Pushya behavior.
