Punarvasu in a birth chart
Your birth nakshatra (janma nakshatra) is the one the Moon was in when you were born. With Punarvasu, the Moon is in Gemini (Mithuna) or Cancer (Karka), and Jupiter rules the first dasha of your life in the Vimshottari system, which is why your Mahadasha sequence starts with Jupiter. In Kundli matching, its Deva gana, Cat yoni and Adi nadi count for 18 of the 36 points.
