Mythology

Punar = again, vasu = light. "Return to the light." The goddess Aditi is the boundless mother — mother of all gods, boundlessness itself. The quiver symbol: when full, abundance; arrows shot return. Ruled by Jupiter — wisdom and expansion.

Astrological reading

Moon in Punarvasu carries the capacity to rise from where they fell. A constant search for "home" inside; they return to what they lost in a new form. Inclination to philosophy, teaching, counseling. Risk: returning to the same place repeatedly without learning.
