Pushya is nakshatra number 8 of the 27 lunar mansions in Vedic astrology, spanning 93.33° of the zodiac in 13°20' steps. Its planetary lord is Saturn and its presiding deity is Brihaspati.

The Moon's position in Pushya at birth shapes the Vimshottari Mahadasha sequence — a Pushya birth begins life in the Saturn mahadasha, with the balance of that period decided by how far the Moon had travelled through the nakshatra.
