Pushkara Navamsha
Push means to boost / nourish and Kara means who does or what causes. Pushkara is a special energy that
nourishes. Navamsha is the most important Varga. Planet positions in their Navamsha finally decide
whether they are strong or weak in the chart. Therefore Pushkara Navamshas become very important.
They are specific areas in charts that nourish and give planets the capacity to fortify themselves. This
special Navamsha allow the personality to flourish and its qualities become replenished. It is always the
Navamsha ruled by the same signs within the same elements that become Pushkara.

Important Observations:
While there are two Pushkara in each sign, they do not fall in Aries, Gemini, Leo, Scorpio, Capricorn, and
Aquarius Navamshas
Aries, Gemini, Leo and Aquarius are male signs and their Navamsha may use up all the energy available
to them to regenerate the planetary qualities.
Scorpio and Capricorn are female signs but these are complex areas within signs. Scorpio creates sudden
transformation and Capricorn makes planet feel much burdened, even if they are well placed.
The rulerships of the Navamshas are by benefic planets.
Jupiter and Venus rules nine Pushkara each, one in fire, earth and air elements, whereas Moon and
Mercury rule one each in Water elements.
Pushkara Bhaga
Pushkara Bhagas are specific degrees where planets become auspicious to do good. The exact degree
becomes very powerful agent for being positive, whereas the Navamsha is still powerful but not as
intense as the degree.
