Sun in Punarvasu Nakshatra
The Sun in Punarvasu Nakshatra gives the Sun a more specific tone than sign alone. Punarvasu is ruled by Jupiter, symbolized by bow & quiver of arrows, meaning "Good Again" or "Wealthy again" - Being Good Again and Again - "Punar" means repeat and "vasu" means ray of light", and it can color the planet with themes like abundance, always forgiving, always makes a comeback, and boundless. This page focuses on that combination, not a generic meaning of Sun or Punarvasu.
