"The Earth in the beginning had no growths. She desired, "May I produce herbs and trees." One who makes the appropriate offering to Aditi, to Punarvasu, produces progeny and cattle.
Punarvasu is a creative Nakshatra ruled by the Earth as the World Mother Aditi. It gives the ability to create in form and structure. Those born under it like to produce things in a maternal way."
~~ David Frawley, Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra
Punarvasu, for females:
"... will be successful in everything she undertakes. If she elects to have a career of her own, she will become very well known and highly respected.
If she marries, she will have a husband and children who adore her and her domestic life will be most happy. Her house will be orderly and well kept, as she is very particular and discriminating, and insists on beautiful and harmonious surroundings for herself and family.
Her health is good except that she will suffer from gastric complaints and must be careful in her diet."
~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 93.
Punarvasu, for males:
"... from Ardra to Punarvasu, a startling change in mental development.
In Punarvasu, the native is possessed of profound intelligence, capable of delving into and understand all manner of philosophical and metaphysical postulates. He revels in abstract thought and has a lively and profound imagination.
He may be also a poet of high attainment, expressing a fire and vitality in his verse which is the result of an unusually passionate temperament.
He will, however, be only moderately successful by world standards during his lifetime although unlike the Ardra native he will not experience poverty."
~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 81.
Punarvasu in lagna: [Bill Gates]
The native with Punarvasu in navamsha lagna is committed to acting out the nurturing, "gardening", developing, fertile model of Punarvasu within one's partner role.
If the partnership suppresses or denies the native's maternal style of growing things (whether children, plants, or businesses), then the native must leave.
