Be Decisive? Or Be Prepared? The Life-Lesson of Pushya Nakshatra

“Careful preparation vs. Decisive action: Should I strike while the iron is hot? Or is the iron not yet hot enough?”
This is the life lesson we will learn from the sixth star of Vedic Astrology: Puṣya, the Blossomed

my ascendent is here. so resonate. i do consider myself lucky but also recognize that i can exhaust my resources (as im holding out for luck to prevail) but actually need to move in a more informed and wise way. a dance that is both synchronistic and choreographed.

[@valerieexplainsitall]

Yes! I’m pushya too with a Jupiter 12th house. Also magha moon. Realizing I really do rely way too much on “luck”/ancestors and/or guardian angels

[@mattreis8988]

Luck is where preparation meets opportunity. Pat Metheny said this when discussing how improvisation works when playing with his band. Special moments require great preparation, and the ability to recognize opportunities.

[@taracardinal6789]

I'm really enjoying your Nakshatra Sutras series and look forward to each one. I have Jupiter in Pushya and this info is very helpful. Reminds me of a Bruce Lee quote... "Knowing is not enough, we must apply. Willing is not enough, we must do." Thank you!

[@lovealwaysgigi]

This is my Janma and it resonates highly because I very much prefer to educate, educate educate. Then when it is time to implement and begin I quickly lose interest and find a new topic to deeply immerse myself in. Thus I have an advanced knowledge of many subjects and careers but not as much real-world, practical experience. Thank you!

[@NM-bo5td]

So true I have Rahu and Mars in Pushya. In 3rd house. I have started so many endeavours without thinking them through and wasted so much money and effort. Note to self: think before acting! 😊 Thank you Vic.

Thank you for speaking Truth and not selling gemstones

my birth star is Pushya, and my name is Lily (meaning flower) 🌷 may everyone reading be gently blessed 🍒

So refreshing for ENGLISH!!!🙏

[@sumitworld97]

Nice shirt Vic.. You are looking cool. I have debilitated Mars in pushya in 7th house. It resonates fully with the brihaspati and Tara story which you have told in the past. In childhood I was in love with a girl, she was in love with me. But destiny never allowed me to propose her. It always held me back from showing my love and affection. She tried and tried but eventually maybe got frustrated (I don't know) and got married to someone else. I couldn't forget her and still love her and am still unmarried at 38. Now thanks to you Vic I know my pushya is malfunctioning. It never allowed me to take action. It was not my fault (all these years I blamed myself). But I have learned my lesson, and the lesson is that I need to take action (show my response, affection, love) no matter what happens. But I doubt if I will ever get an opportunity now to do so, because I can't give my heart to someone else. Maybe I am destined to be single. Waiting eagerly for your explanation of magha (my Darakaraka jupiter in magha) and hasta (my Venus conjunct mercury in hasta) and Chitra (my 7th lord moon conjunct pluto in Chitra). Maybe after watching these videos I will understand my relationship area fully. Thank you and God bless you Vic.

[@pattyl2811]

Very interesting. Pushya ascendant here and a similar issue. My pushya became active a few years ago and got a divorce. It through me down a very unusual path and I am unsure I am working my pushya accurately. I am unable to communicate and express my love because during that time I did not do it well.

[@PapikinsAB]

After I got out of being an employee, I've always had the experience of just acting on my ideas and making various types of businesses for myself. I did learn a lot by doing that, but it wasn't until a couple years ago that I first started experiencing that "hesitation", and now I'm spinning it around in my head constantly about whether or not to actually do something, and if so, WHAT to do at all (I have Dhanishta lagna pada 3, so that's been a part of my deep dive).

[@alienreggaeradio]

My Nakshakra aligns with Punarvasu and Pushya. Incredibly informative and fun to listen to.

Thank you for this. This explains a lot

[@j.e.8286]

So interesting - I have mars in Pushya in retrograde in the 10th house. What I noticed is that working for many years in one area of interest and obtaining additional education was very helpful in achieving positive results. Having patience & staying humble was also helpful - but there probably is no perfect job or situation - it's what we bring every day that can assist us :)

Wow. I have moon in Pushya(in 4th house). I always get confuse. Mostly i keep putting efforts & dont test.and of course many times i keep gathering knowledge (some spiritual practices) but fail to put into action. Thank you, Vic. Ps the way you edit your videos is amazing. Such a positive feeling i get when I listen to mantras & to you. Lovely !

[@confidential303]

okay tell me what knowledge did you plan to test. I am eager to know

[@sundarsingh5290]

Yes, it's common that confusion is the only problem for all pushya.

Once again, the KZbin algorithm recommends the Pushya video to me when the moon is in Pushya.

Moon in pushya > people search for it > KZbin recommends

[@araciel994]

Oh, Rahu in Pushya first hose, cancer ascendant. Moon in Anuradha. Thanks

[@jamesrmosbeyii1122]

Does this also relate with brihaspati and the fond relation with Budha? Just based on what you mentioned in another Pushya video it would seem how Brihaspati pursued(endeavor) Tara after her leaving for Chandra that in spite of luck(Shukr) being opposed he had Shani(karma? Perseverance?) On his side and not only was able to have his wife back but Budha( the way to produce financial wealth, creating social connections, putting wisdom into words that can be learned, taking ritual to create daily practical routine, and bridging the concept of foreign and enemy)???? Idk

[@prithviganesh8298]

I have moon and rahu in 4th house in this nakshtra

[@araciel994]

Hello. Thank you for the loving way in which you offer us good quality information. Please, can you help me to understand the meaning of my Rahu in Pushya, while my moon is in Anuradha? Thanks.

[@SK1MD]

Does this apply to Pushya ascendant for D9 navamsa chart? Or mainly D1 chart ascendant or moon?

[@alexissmith8158]

Will you please share your view on planets in this Nakshatra in a future video? I have felt this sort of conflict in between more preparation and action for most of my life...well, what am I talking about? I still feel it...😁As a Pisces Ascendant, I am happy to have my AK in Pushya, since they are both connected to Jupiter, but my AK is Venus and there is a lot of mixed information out there in regards to how these two planets interact...not to mention that my Jupiter is conjunct the Moon and Moon opposite Venus(and many say that these two are enemies🙄🙈). I love watching your videos...though each time I do, I have more questions than before...but don't worry, I'm safe, i simply meditate a bit more...🙂 One small detail, I don't know if it is because of Pushya, but I am lucky. I am really lucky...and though I understand what you are saying about luck, I am not talking about that kind of luck only...I mean...there might be a connection there in between your view and what I am speaking about, but if there is, we are talking about deeds that we are not aware of, things we have done in past lives or other dimensions. Allow me to explain by giving an example: imagine you have an auto-immune disorder and no doctor knows what to give you, they simply send you from here to there, some of them even telling you that it is all your fault for not being more careful(cause they say it is the stress that causes it). This affects you cause they keep giving you antibiotics just for temporary relief, knowing that this does not treat the cause...but then, one day, out of the blue, you meet a woman in the park and start a conversation simply because you two sit on the same bench. Not only that you find out she has a similar immune issue, but she also knows the remedy for yours. She takes you to the right doctors in a very prestigious institute, you have the tests done and then she prepares the remedy for you also. Oh...and yes, the issue you were dealing with since you were a child is now completely gone! If that is not luck...then well...we must have ancestors watching over us...And I could give other examples, plenty actually, from all areas of life, which does not mean life's all dandy, roses and butterflies😋, but my point is that many people are lucky, they just choose to see the challenge only... instead of the blessings that come with the challenge. Sometimes...that is exactly why the blessing doesn't show up...cause we are not ready to receive it, we keep beating the drum of "why me"...and I wrote a liiiittle bit too much, so I'll stop here...thank you for your inspiring videos, sir!❤

[@confidential303]

thank you for your writing .. btw Is your venus in the 8th house?

[@BeYour100]

Hi Sir, could you please share the title of your book about what you have just talked? Thank you 🙏

[@sheriesehenderson429]

Hello, thank you for the lesson. I only ask can you spell out the names. I am journaling the way you are pronouncing the Dirties / god and lord's names. It would help . I appreciate it if can do that in your 2022 videos.

[@mm9510]

I have this in saturn and whenever I don't put my ideas and things in action,It doesn't work and I fail. It's like my pushya saturn teaches me a lesson.

[@silvia_g_g]

Brihaspati is also known as the Lord of prayer or mantra... Could it also mean that is order to achieve that abundance and growth we must work but simultaneously use our tongues to chant mantras? ;)

[@VicDiCaraAstrology]

there is a big cultural "lost in translation" these days regarding "prayer" and "mantra."

[@rosierain3398]

I have Saturn in Pushya in the 8th house. Is there anything you can say about that? Does it mean my blossoming will be slow, or restricted? Or that I need to be disciplined in order to grow? (Obviously, I think this is true for everyone).

[@cultureal9544]

Speak with restraint to obtain fortunes

[@ioan_jivan]

So continuos action in which we test the advice means that we'll inevitably do the wrong things at some point. Is it okay to still have continuous action even in situations where others are affected, where we are not sure if we are right and could affect their wellbeing?

[@VicDiCaraAstrology]

uncertainty is unavoidable. when you are reasonably sure that your action will be beneficial and not harmful, then do it. It is the intention that is more significant than the outcome, ultimately.

[@ioan_jivan]

Thank you the answer. And advice. I keep researching this series and somehow getting more information.

[@guguljevkaranski3633]

Just curious. Is this your own Sun nakshatra?

@@VicDiCaraAstrology i have my sun almost exactly same degrees as yours and i wonder if it's in ashlesha or pushya. would you like to tell which calculation system you use?

[@dawnhighness1797]

Is this the sixth or eighth star? Some people say this is the eighth…please explain why this is. Thank you.

[@VicDiCaraAstrology]

most people count from Ashvini. Then it is the 6th. The Vedas, however, start the nakshatras with krittika, not ashvini. Then it is the 8th.
