Pushya is a nakshatra in Indian astronomy. It corresponds to γ, δ and θ Cancri, in the Cancer (constellation).[1]
Naming practices
Under the traditional Hindu principle of naming individuals according to their birthstar (see Jyotisha), the following Sanskrit syllables correspond with this Nakshatra, and would belong at the beginning of a first name:
- Hu (pronounced as in "hurry")
- He (pronounced as in "heavenly")
- Ho (pronounced as it appears")
- Da (pronounced as in "Rhonda")
The birthstone is NEELAM or blue sapphire. Also use PEARL since they belong to KARKATAKA rashi.
Traditionally, many people buy gold on the day of this Nakshatra.
