Punarvasu

Punarvasu is the 7th of the twenty-seven nakshatras (lunar mansions), spanning 20°00′ Gemini–3°20′ Cancer of the sidereal zodiac.

Its ruling graha is Guru (Jupiter), its presiding deity Aditi (the boundless mother), and its symbol the quiver of arrows.

Punarvasu means "good again" — the mansion of return, renewal, and safe homecoming. Under Jupiter and the boundless Aditi, it is optimistic, generous, and resilient: the light that comes back after it has gone. A nakshatra of second chances and steady faith.
