Nakṣatra 7 of 27

Punarvasu · पुनर्वसु

The lunar mansion 20°00′ Mithuna – 3°20′ Karka of the sidereal zodiac — its presiding deity as the Garuḍa Purāṇa states it, its Vimśottarī lord as the engine computes it, and the Purāṇic passages that actually name it. Cited context; never a forecast.

The four pādas of Punarvasu

Each nakṣatra spans 13°20′, divided into four quarters of 3°20′. A pāda’s navāṃśa (the ninth division, D9) is what a chart reading leans on when the birth time is known — computed here, not asserted.

Where the Purāṇas name Punarvasu

Verbatim passages from this project’s own tagged astrology corpus — saṁhitā, muhūrta and calendrical contexts that mention the star. Supplementary context from the texts, not personality claims or predictions.
