Weaknesses
Punarvasus have difficulty staying committed to projects or relationships. You are always looking for pleasure and enjoyment, and when you cease to find it in something, you move on to something else. Excessive lust, both for sex and other material pleasures, can lead you on an endless quest that will never leave you satisfied.
At times you can be apathetic and lazy, unwilling to invest yourself fully in anything. Decision-making is hard for you since you don’t like having to make up your mind. As a result, you are restless and often careless, frequently becoming bored with your current situation but unsure what you would rather be doing.
Although you can be easily pleased, you are also rarely satisfied. Your heightened intelligence tends to overanalyze and will always be able to find flaws in everything around you. Dissatisfaction leaves you feeling unsettled and can make you critical or condescending. This is especially true of Punarvasus whose moons fall in Gemini.

You succeed when you give 100%. It’s not often that you fully devote yourself to something. Frequently, your approach to things is half-hearted. However, when you do commit yourself to something it is almost certain to be successful.
You tend to over-intellectualize life. Your intellectual abilities are considerable, but you may not know when to stop intellectualizing and actually do something. It can become a sort of defense mechanism that you use to avoid dealing with conflicts or making decisions.
