Characteristics of a Punarvasu born

Punarvasu is 'the star of renewal'. It represents new beginnings and a life mission to carry forward successfully. The sky is the limit for this nakṣatra.

It reflects purity, truth and strong moral values and confers 'the ability to gain wealth and abundance'.

If you are born under Punarvasu's auspices, you will have many friends, you will enjoy reading sacred texts and scriptures; you will possess gems, jewels and ornaments. Your spirit is able to rise from the ashes, and your approach to life is very optimistic and curious. You may be childlike and playful at times. You will have a good height and an oval face.

You are generally calm, but tend to get into disputes to exhibit your intelligence. This may give rise to arguments with other family members. You are good natured; even when you go through difficulties you will be always helpful to others. Easily contented, you are self- controlled, but may be indecisive.

Be careful not to over-intellectualize life and become too critical. Your mental vacillations sometimes do not allow you to be in the moment and prompt you to speak when you should keep silence.

You have abilities to work in the publishing field, the entertainment area, or as a teacher, as well as areas which include dealing with social groups and the public. Great potential in the communication field can be shown here.

Energy Centers and Gemini

Viśuddhi cakra: Expressing one's Uniqueness

There are 7 major energy centers in our body, called cakras in Sanskrit. They are directly connected to our emotions and impact different aspects of our personality and the way we relate to ourselves, others, and to Existence.

Each planet resonates with a particular energy center in the body. Mercury is connected to Viśuddhi cakra, which is located in the throat region. Viśuddhi flowers when you stop comparing yourself to others and express your own uniqueness.

We are always looking to achieve in the outer world. This is the root cause of comparison and the jealousy we feel as a consequence. People respect you only if you have achieved something tangible in the outer world. Educational degrees, beauty titles, company designations, published papers and bank balances are all scales that society uses to grade you.

First of all, you don't need to be graded by anyone, including yourself. Place trust in your own intelligence. There is much you can achieve in the outer world.

But understand that there is much to be achieved in the inner world as well. Outer-world achievements are all incidental. They will get you instant name and fame and money. But the real achievement is in the inner world.

Center yourself well with awareness and simply take part in the outer-world activities like a lotus untouched in a pond. Let the work in the periphery go on undisturbed, but center yourself in your Being. Automatically, you will stop swaying in accordance with the outer world achievements and feel stability and joy in the center of your own Being. Finding your center is the only way out of the whole cycle of comparison with others that does not allow you to express your uniqueness as easily as it could.
