Marriage and Compatibility
Pushya belongs to the Deva gana and Madhya nadi. In matching, a partner from the same nadi (Bharani, Mrigashira, Purva Phalguni and Chitra and others) creates Nadi dosha unless an exception applies. Deva gana matches best with Deva and Manushya.
Birth dasha
Someone born with the Moon in Pushya starts life in the Saturn Mahadasha. The balance depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra at birth.
Remedies

- Gemstone: Blue Sapphire (Neelam) - only if Saturn is a benefic for your Lagna. Never wear it on your own.
- Keep the habits of the planet: work hard, help labourers and the elderly, be punctual.
