Characteristics of Swati Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Swati Nakshatra is a male #buffalo.
They are part of a Bovidae family, which includes bison, caribou, antelope and water buffalo.
They have thick, large horns, which join in the middle of their head.
Like a bull, the natives of Swati Nakshatra are extremely powerful and can weigh a ton.
They love being in the water, which is especially true for water buffalo found in India.
Buffalo is also known as the ride of Lord Yama. Just like other families of Bovidae, they eat only grass and bushes, and are mainly used in India to push carts and do farming activities.
Swati natives will become either vegan or vegetarians at one point in life.
Due to the nature of water buffalo, they love taking long showers and to be in the bathtub.
Swati natives like to live near an ocean or a river because they need a body of water they can step in, like a water buffalo.
The symbolism of Swati Nakshatra is the blade of grass being swayed by the wind or a sword.
The symbolism speaks the poetry of 1000 words.
Swati Nakshatra natives are extremely independent. They want to travel, do things independently, and know how the world works.
The blade of grass is the Swati native who moves in the direction of the wind.
They love to travel, want to know everybody, and like the wind, they want to take one piece of information and spread it in all directions.
They cannot stick to one particular thought; they must move, and ride the way of the current time.
The Swati natives have a bit of ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) in nature, which is why it makes them excellent entrepreneurs.
An entrepreneur is to be at the right place at the right time and execute the idea to get the maximum result, after which they move to the next venture and do the same.
For example, the wind blowing over the United States will flow over India and Russia; and by this it can be seen that the Swati natives are worldly people.
They want to experience the world, travel the world and are obsessed with knowing what is happening in the world.
The wind touches all economies, people, animals and mountains.
The information that is in a single molecule of oxygen is the same molecule inside a Swati native.
The wind is oxygen, oxygen is the vehicle of prana (breath) and prana is what gives us the life force.
Swati natives are profoundly known as yogis or yoga experts.
They can easily master breathing yoga techniques like Anulom vilom pranayama, Kapalbhaati, Kriya, etc.
As the wind is felt about 3 feet from the ground till all the way to mountain peaks, Swati natives are obsessed with reaching the highest ground, which makes them interested in space, rockets, airplanes.
Wind can also cause issues with the lungs due to too much Kapha Dosha, which a person can fall victim to if Swati is influenced by malefics.
The other symbolism of this Nakshatra is the blade or sword.
The caste of Swati Nakshatra is the butcher.
Swati natives naturally have a grasp of dealing with the blade, like fencing, sword fighting, cutting meat or having an interest in collecting sharp blades, which also translate into the nature of Swati natives.
They will cut you in conversation when angry and frustrated.
They can butcher a perfectly made business plan if they are not careful.
The deity of this Nakshatra is Vayu, the wind God and king of celestial musicians.
Vayu is a life-giving breath that nourishes us with the life force or prana.
He is the father of Bhima amongst the Pandavas and the spiritual father of Hanuman.
Many qualities of Vayu can be seen through Hanuman.
When Hanuman was young, he thought Sun was a big fruit and jumped into the sky to eat it.
The Sun God felt intimidated by the little child coming up to him, and asked Indra to bring the child down with his weapon.
Hanuman was struck on his jaw by Indra’s weapon, known as Vajra, the thunderbolt.
Impressed by the child’s resistance, the devas (Gods) blessed Hanuman with various powers.
The child Hanuman used his powers to play pranks upon others.
He ended up being cursed by rishis that he may forget his gifts and powers. When he apologized for his mistake, rishis said his powers would come back to him if reminded by someone else.
Later, when Hanuman was searching for Sita, Lord Rama’s wife, Hanuman felt dejected knowing that the only place left to search for Sita was Lanka and that he had to jump across the ocean to reach Lanka.
Having lost his powers, he was reminded of it by Jambavan, the bear headed being, about his youthful exploits and the subsequent curse.
Hanuman regained confidence and ended up playing out multiple roles of being a messenger to Sita, being a diplomat to Vibhishana, and a soldier against Ravan.
Hanuman is also supposed to have lifted the entire mountain named Dronagiri and brought it to the battlefield of Lanka for Lakshman, who was poisoned by a weapon.
Hanuman’s story can play out through Swati Nakshatra.
From the mythology, it can be seen that, just like the child Hanuman, Swati natives want to achieve the impossible.
They want to reach the top, they have no fear of where they are going, whom they are going to meet or what they are climbing.
Once they see their object of fasciation, they go for it, and this is why Swati natives love climbing mountains and hiking to the highest trail.
They also love collecting shoes, buying shoes and if a shoe breaks for them, major karma gets released or plays out in their life.
Shoes are connected with Swati Nakshatra because the yogatara star of Swati, which is Arcturus, it is at the leg region of the virgin lady of the Virgo zodiac sign.
The yogatara of Swati is at the zero degrees of Libra.
This is why, Chitra Nakshatra and Swati Nakshatra natives in the Libra zodiac sign, will share the same traits.
Swati natives love playing musical air instruments like flute and piano.
Swati natives always need a mentor or a manager who helps them in their journey to become successful as they keep forgetting they have the ability to conquer the world.
They should have a vision board to remind themselves what they can and must achieve.
The most obvious power of Hanuman is his body, strength, and flying ability.
If Chitra or Swati natives, between 0–7 degrees of Libra, are observed, it can be seen that they have a great obsession with flying, bodybuilding, and sculpting their bodies.
Such people also become obsessed with Superman.
But when Swati natives are trying to reach the top of their career, they will face a big fight with an enemy who will try to bring them down at all cost, just like how Indra tried to use his weapon on young Hanuman.

Asceticism is yet another attribute of this star.

Interestingly this star does not come in the range of Swati.
This is because no star in Swati has an ecliptic latitude closer to 6.5.
Even latitudes of Arcturus are +30.6. Arcturus or Alpha Bootis is the 4th brightest star in the night sky.
Arcturus is a red giant. It is 110 times brighter than the Sun.
It can be observed in the daytime with a telescope. It is a yellow-orange star and considered a very cool star.
Arcturus moves at a rate of 122 km/s. It cuts perpendicularly through the galactic disk.
It moves with a group of 52 other such stars, known as the Arcturus stream.
Considering this property of Arcturus, the deity of Swati, i.e. Vayu, seems appropriate.
