VII · The Returning Arrow

The Returning Arrow

Just when you think it's over, they get back in touch

Punarvasu · पुनर्वसु

What gets cut keeps reconnecting — people, work, money. So you are rarely anxious even before big things, which is both your strength and your weakness.

Mythology and origins

Punarvasu is ruled by Aditi, goddess of the infinite and mother of the solar gods, the Adityas — a presence as boundless and sheltering as the sky. Rama, hero of the Ramayana, is said to have been born under this star.

The name means "return of the good" or "the light that comes back." It lies near Castor and Pollux, the two bright stars of Gemini. Its symbol is a quiver — the arrows that are shot and return to fill it again.

As Rama was exiled and finally came home, tradition reads this star as one for whom what was lost comes back, and who rises again after falling.
