The Sun, planet of Self and leadership, is in Pushya from July 20th to August 3rd, 2026, the nakshatra inside the zodiacal sign of Cancer, which boosts all matters connected with family and security.

Pushya is a fortunate and life-sustaining energy, where you feel supported and can find your ideas being taken up at a higher level. This nakshatra’s ruling devata, Brihaspati, emphasizes Pushya’s searching side, and you have a constant gaze on the bigger picture, along with an open and innocent belief in fair play. Pushya’s Shakti, ‘The Power to Create Spiritual Energy,’ is enhanced by the Sun’s friend Jupiter also in this nakshatra, which enhances your charisma and gives you inner strength and spirit.

This is an excellent time to attract your own following, investigate different beliefs and philosophies, or make your own path with a focus on caring and nurturing. You can study, travel, and take up a leadership position where you inspire particular loyalty. Pushya’s symbol, the cow’s udder, shows you providing security, where the solar light expands and brings good fortune.

There’s pride and ego wrapped up in the Sun’s position, and you can also illuminate hidden areas and embark on a heroic journey that breaks through obstacles. This may happen in your home or a caring environment like a hospital, hotel, or retreat – or else you simply share your sympathetic and understanding nature wherever you happen to be. Up to August 1st, the Sun receives the support of Mercury and Venus, and your plans receive encouragement from friends and listeners.

This is an excellent time for media work, where you can be as ambitious as you please and attract a wider audience.
