What the Moon in Punarvasu favors
Punarvasu literally means 'return of the light.' Jupiter-ruled and protected by Aditi, this is the mansion of second attempts — the Moon here favors resumption, renewal, reconciliation. Whatever fell apart recently may be recoverable. Favorable for: picking up a practice you dropped, reaching out to someone you've lost touch with, revising a project that went sideways, teaching, mentoring. Less favorable for: pure novelty or first-time commitments — the mansion pulls toward what you've already known. Trust that returning isn't regressing.
