Which graha rules Punarvasu Nakshatra?
Guru (Jupiter). That lordship is why a person born under Punarvasu begins life in the Guru (Jupiter) mahadasha, which runs 16 years in the Vimshottari cycle.

Gemini, Cancer. A nakshatra spans 13°20′ and a rashi spans 30°, so most nakshatras cross a rashi boundary rather than sitting neatly inside one.

Four, like every nakshatra. Each pada is 3°20′ wide, giving 108 padas across the whole zodiac.
