6°40′ Cancer – 10°00′ Cancer

Where Pushya pada 2 is
3°20′ of the zodiac, and what falls in itPushya pada 2 is the second 3°20′ of Pushya, 6°40′ Cancer – 10°00′ Cancer, in Cancer. A Moon here is named by the syllable He and falls in a Virgo navamsa.
What this pada adds
its navamsa and its aimPushya in Brihat Jataka (16.5) Brihat Jataka says a person born with the Moon in Pushya is master of their desires, well liked, learned in the shastras (the classical texts), wealthy and fond of giving in charity. (Chapter 16 reads several nakshatras in each verse, one after another.) The text reads the nakshatra as a whole; the pada refines it through its navamsa, below.
Pushya gives the Moon its nature through Shani; pada 2 sends it into a Virgo navamsa, ruled by Budh. The navamsa (D9) is the chart read for marriage and for the strength behind a placement, so in this pada Budh colours what Pushya gives.
By natural friendship Budh counts Shani neutral, and Shani counts Budh a friend, so the navamsa neither helps nor hinders much.
The pada tradition reads each quarter by its navamsa’s element: an earth navamsa makes this an Artha pada, turned towards livelihood, wealth and security.
