Sun in Pushya ~ A time to give and receive

The Sun, the planet of Self and leadership, is in Pushya from July 20th to August 2nd, 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’, enhances your charisma and gives you inner strength and spirit, where you can attract your own following.

You can investigate different beliefs and philosophies at this point, or make your own path with a focus on caring and nurturing. 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 place the Sun travels, 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. The New Moon in Pushya on July 24th sees the Sun even more strongly influenced by supportive emotions and you may reconsider an offer from the past. This is an auspicious point in the year, and favoring generosity and setting your intentions has a positive impact on your plans moving forward.
