Pushya Nakshatra — Lord, Deity, Symbol & Marriage Matching

Pushya occupies Cancer 3°20' – 16°40', which places it in Karka (Cancer). Widely considered the most auspicious of the 27 for beginnings, though by convention weddings themselves are not fixed on Pushya in many communities.

Pushya is Deva gana and Madhya nadi. Nadi is the most heavily weighted of the eight kootas, and identical nadi between two horoscopes is read as nadi dosha — which is why the 8 other Madhya nadi stars are the ones families check against first.

On gana and nadi together, Pushya matches 11 of the remaining 26 stars: Ashwini, Rohini, Ardra, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Swati, Uttara Ashadha, Shravana, Purva Bhadrapada, Revati. Scored across gana, nadi, yoni and graha maitri, its strongest pairing is Revati at 20 of 23.

This page records what traditional kundli matching holds about this star, for families filling in the nakshatra field of a biodata. It is a guide to the convention, not a prediction — and no single koota decides a match on its own. Where a family takes matching seriously, an astrologer reads the full horoscope.
