Punarvasu Nakshatra
There are Western and Hindu astrological studies, derived from the study of astronomy and its effects on humans, their personalities, features, past, present and future. The Western astrology is derived from Ptolemy’s 2nd century Tetrabiblos. Today, Western astrology is studied as sun sign astrology, or predictive astrology centred on the movements of the sun’s position and the constellations.
Hindu astrology, traditionally called Jyotisha or Jyotishya, is derived from ancient Vedic study of the position of the moon, the stars, the ascent of the sun and various other factors which determine the human personality. One of the most significant terms used in Hindu astrology is Nakshatra. The Indian astronomy and the Indian astrology are based on the lunar mansion or the orbit path that the moon takes. This is the Nakshatra.
Nakshatra is 27 in number, coinciding with the zodiac signs as well. Punarvasu Nakshatra or the Dual is term referred to the two brightest stars in the Gemini constellation, Castor and Pollux.
