Punarvasu and the Dasha Sequence
The lord of Punarvasu is Jupiter. If the Moon was in Punarvasu at birth, the Vimshottari Dasha sequence begins with the Mahadasha of Jupiter, which lasts 16 years in full. The part remaining at birth depends on how far the Moon had travelled through the Nakshatra.
Jupiter also rules Vishakha and Purva Bhadrapada.
