I use Goravani -- but don't have it currently loaded. >I am curious how you are calculating it. I am just envisioning the cycles. Jupiter travels and then repeats the zodiac every 12 years. There are 27 Nakshatras. Thus Jupiter is on average in each Nakshatra for .444 years each 12 year cycle, or for 5.33 month. And thus Jupiter is in Pushya (cancer, 3.20 for 5.33 for 5.33 months every 12 years. So lets imagine a time when Sun, Moon and Jupiter are all in pushya, with Jupiter and sun just entering it. 12 years later, Jupiter returns to the same spot in pushya and remains in pushya for 5.33 months. Being exactly 12 years later, the sun is in the same spot, and will be in pushya for 13 and 1/3 days. This is just less than 1/2 a lunar cycle of 28 days. That means that the moon will appear in Pushya almost every two cycles of Jupiter, when Jupiter and Sun are there together. But sometimes it will take three jupiter cycles for the moon to show up. Now lets refine it. Ok so the actual cycle of Jupiter is 11.86 years. So every 12 years, just as Sun enters pushya, jupiter will have moved a bit ahead of where it was last time, by 2% of one degree or so. And there are leap years. And Jupiter will go retrograde periodically. So while the pattern is fairly stable, and with the three grahas in pusya every 2-3 cycles of Jupiter (24-36 years) (more often every 2 than 3), there will be some times when it takes 4, sometimes, rarely, it may only take one cycle. My original quick head calc was wrong -- saying it was low multipls of every 27 years. Its actually low multiples of every 12 years. But if the text means entry into pushya on the same day, then as i said thats a much more rare event.
