Punarvasu
Renewal, the return of what was lost, and hope after a dark passage.
One of the twenty-seven nakshatras, each 360/27 = 13°20' of the sidereal zodiac from 0° Aries (Ashvini). The nakshatra scheme is sidereal: a tropical chart must be converted by the ayanamsa before the nakshatra is assigned. The ruler sequence is Ketu, Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury repeating; Rahu and Ketu are lunar nodes rather than planets, so they are recorded as names rather than as planet ids.
