Moon in the signs
The eighth mansion is the one Indian tradition rates highest. Its symbol is a cow's udder and its subject is nourishment that does not run out.
Its deity is Brihaspati, priest of the gods, and its lord is Saturn. Pushya days are considered good for almost everything except weddings, which is an odd and very specific exception. Guru Pushya Yoga — Pushya falling on a Thursday — is still one of the busiest shopping days for gold in India.
