Understanding Pushkara Navamsha: The Most Auspicious Divisions in Vedic Astrology
What is Pushkara Navamsha?
Every zodiac sign (Rashi) is divided into 9 equal Navamshas of 3 degrees and 20 minutes each. These divisions are associated with the Navamsha chart (D9), which is a deeper reflection of the planet's strength, spiritual depth, and outcome potential.
Now, each element (Agni, Prithvi, Vayu, Jal) has two specific Pushkara Navamshas per sign that elevate the status of any planet placed there. Let’s understand this in detail:
Fire Signs (Agni Tattva): Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
For fire signs, the 7th and 9th Navamshas are considered Pushkara Navamshas. That means:
- 7th division: From 20°00’ to 23°20’
- 9th division: From 26°40’ to 30°00’
Any planet sitting within these degree ranges in Aries, Leo, or Sagittarius in the D1 chart and also landing in the corresponding Navamsha division in D9 is considered to be in Pushkara Navamsha.
Earth Signs (Prithvi Tattva): Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn
For earth signs, the 3rd and 5th Navamshas are Pushkara Navamsha. That means:
- 3rd division: From 6°40’ to 10°00’
- 5th division: From 13°20’ to 16°40’
If any planet is placed in these degrees in Taurus, Virgo, or Capricorn and goes to Pushkara Navamsha in D9, it is extremely favorable.
Air Signs (Vayu Tattva): Gemini, Libra, Aquarius
For air signs, the 6th and 8th Navamshas are Pushkara Navamshas:
- 6th division: From 16°40’ to 20°00’
- 8th division: From 23°20’ to 26°40’
Planets in these degrees in Gemini, Libra, or Aquarius will gain Pushkara benefits in the Navamsha chart.
Water Signs (Jal Tattva): Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces
For water signs, the 1st and 3rd Navamshas are Pushkara:
- 1st division: From 0°00’ to 3°20’
- 3rd division: From 6°40’ to 10°00’
A planet in Cancer, Scorpio, or Pisces within these ranges gets the sacred Pushkara Navamsha placement.
Why is Pushkara Navamsha so powerful?
Pushkara Navamsha is believed to purify and uplift the natural tendencies of a planet. Even a naturally malefic planet like Saturn or Mars, when placed in a Pushkara Navamsha, can give auspicious results like growth, wisdom, protection, and spiritual merit. Similarly, benefic planets like Jupiter, Venus, or Mercury become even more powerful in delivering blessings when placed here.
Furthermore, if a planet in Pushkara Navamsha also receives benefic aspects or is involved in auspicious yogas, it becomes a strong catalyst for success, fame, fortune, and moksha (spiritual liberation).
Real-life example (Aries sign):
Let’s say Mars is placed in Aries at 22°00’. Since Aries is a fire sign, and the 7th division (20°00’–23°20’) is a Pushkara Navamsha, this Mars is considered very auspicious, even if it's placed in a challenging house like the 6th or 8th. In the D9 chart, this Mars would express high spiritual strength, dharma, and productivity.
This concept is a hidden gem in the vast ocean of Vedic astrology. While many focus only on house placement, sign, and conjunctions, the Navamsha secrets like Pushkara Navamsha reveal the true strength and divine potential of a planet.
