2.4.5 Pushkar-Amsha or Amrit Ghati; Any planet if placed in Pushkaramsha/ Amritghati is at a sensitive point in the natal/ transit chart, where it will give very auspicious results, even if he is 8th lord or a Chhidra planet. These are like life giving nectar for the planet and the bhava concerned. For example, in transit if 6th or 8th lord are in Pushkaramsha, the native could be advised to take risky decisions like undergoing operation or change of job/ business. For fiery signs, 7th & 9th Navamsha; for earthy signs, 3rd & 5th Navamsha; for airy signs, 6th & 8th Navamsha; and for watery signs, 1st & 3rd  Navamsha are Pushkaramsha.
