About this entry
Punarvasu starts at 20 degrees of Gemini and ends at 3 degrees 20 minutes of Cancer. Three of its quarters lie in Gemini, and Iyer's note names the fourth quarter as the start of Cancer. Pollux is the star his table gives. Jupiter's Vimshottari dasha of 16 years belongs to it.
Varahamihira's chapter XVI pairs the Moon in Punarvasu with a devout and patient character, a comfortable life, a good nature, quietness and contentment with small things. The same sentence also carries less pleasing items, which this page leaves out.
