#Swati #Nakshatra is the 15th Nakshatra as per Hindu #astrology in #Bootes #constellation.

Swati is ruled by #Vayu, the #God of the #Wind. The word for air (Vayu) or wind (Pavana) is one of the classical elements in Hinduism.

Pavan is also a common Hindu name. Pavana played an important role in Anjana’s begetting Hanuman as her child so Hanuman is also called Pavanaputra “son of Pavana” and Vāyuputra.

In the hymns, Vayu is “described as having ‘exceptional beauty’ and moving noisily in his shining coach, driven by two or forty-nine or one-thousand white and purple horses. A white banner is his main attribute.” Like the other atmospheric deities, he is a “fighter and destroyer”, “powerful and heroic.”

“Vayu, in his aspect of up lifter of oblation. This elevation of the heart is also worship, and thus the devas come near to faith, inspired by Vayu.”

Rig Veda 10, 151

Vāyu-Vāta is the Avestan language name of a dual-natured Zoroastrian divinity of the wind (Vayu) and of the atmosphere (Vata). The names are also used independently of one another, with ‘Vayu’ occurring more frequently than ‘Vata’, but even when used independently still representing the other aspect.

Both the words Vāta and Vāyu have almost identical meanings in Sanskrit or Vedic traditions. Although there is no god representing Vata in Vedic religion, there is the god Vayu representing air as mentioned above. The word Vata is still used today in many Indian languages to denote atmosphere. Atmosphere in Hindi, Marathi etc., is called Vatavaran.

In East Asian Buddhism, Vāyu is a Dharmapala and often classed as one of the Twelve Devas grouped together as directional guardians. He presides over the northwest direction.

In Japan, he is called “Fūten”. He is included with the other eleven devas, which include Taishakuten (Śakra/Indra), Katen (Agni), Enmaten (Yama), Rasetsuten (Nirṛti/Rākṣasa), Ishanaten (Īśāna), Bishamonten (Vaiśravaṇa/Kubera), Suiten (Varuna) Bonten (Brahmā), Jiten (Pṛthivī), Nitten (Sūrya/Āditya), and Gatten (Candra).

#SVHATI #NAKSHATRA
THE #STAR OF UNFOLDING #DESTINY

#Breathe, breathe, breathe deeply
And I was seething, breathing deeply
Spitting sentry, horned and tailed
Waiting for you.”

D. Bowie – The Width of a Circle

Dear Friends of the #Healing #Circle of the #Breath

Tonight’s Full Moon will be in the star of unfolding destiny. This is #Swati Nakshatra. It is a single star known commonly as #Arcturus.

This Star is far North of ecliptic belt and is an outsider star that is not really part of a team. We see this principle of the outsider expressed when we consider another name of this Nakshatra which is #Nishtya. Nishtya means outsider and very much expresses the energy that this star brings to us.

The energy of Svhati
awakens the thinker outside-the-box
and teaches us how to get along
with the radical forces
that blow around and rustle
the leaves in the garden of our soul.

This further brings us to the word Svhati. Svh translates as ‘the self’ and Ati relates to ‘a high amount’. So, quite literally Svhati means ‘the star of much self’. This star is often called the hyper-individual star, it is an outsider star that raises themes of individual drive and destiny.

This star is ruled by the Rahu who is the Northern Node of the Moon. Rahu is the ever-hungry head without a body that is responsible for eclipsing the sun. The energy of Rahu keeps us following the taste of our karmic involvements. The energy of Rahu does not distinguish between good or ill effect, just in the same way it is possible to follow a destructive path with great conviction and energy.

Rahu is a very hungry concentrated energy that goes into areas of addiction and obsession. If the forces of Rahu are made conscious, he breeds focus and power of determined will, that can be channelled into the unfolding of our destiny.

The Answer is Blowing in the Wind
When the full Moon is in the lunar house of Svhati, it transfers its teaching to us most generously. Under the star of Svhati we are given a blessing to gaze into the ways we are using our life-breath. Upon the psychic plane, under the auspices of Svhati – by the concentration of our life-force – we are fully given a glimpse into our unique individual and independent expression of life.

Our breath is the link to our individuality, the patterns of breathing that we have are at the essence of individual expressions and responses to life. By opening the doorways of Prana, constraints of the self are literally released into the wind.

We see that a new born baby exerts its independence from the mother’s womb by the taking of its first breath. We come to this world upon the inbreath and leave upon the outbreath, Vayu is the one who takes us through our destiny with every breath.

The Musical God of Breath
The ruling god of this star is Vayu who is the god of the wind element. Vayu is the deity who brings us the energy of Prana, which is the life giving principle in the air element. Prana is distilled from the air as awareness is made more subtle, rhythmical and tender.
The air element is also the element that transfers sound. Vayu happens to be the god of the celestial musicians who transfer the wisdom of sound through the air element.

The symbol of Svhati is a tiny sapling trembling in the breeze. Svhati Nakshatra awakens those parts of us that rebel against constraints upon our tendencies of individualism.
Those parts of us do not seem to fit into the constraining circumstances that destiny puts us into, are the special teaching that the star of Svhati brings to our awareness.

Svhati transmits the teaching of how to work within restraints and keep a dignified sense of empowerment. The power of this Star is independent of circumstances and conditions. We are talking about the deep internal power of Prana.

The Sword of Force
Svhati’s lesson is very much about how we deal with restraints. Another symbol of Svhati is the sword, in fact Svhati also means sword. The doubled-edged sword of exerting our individuality is what Svhati makes us aware of.

When we intelligently identify the things that constrain life, then we might gain insight into the opposite. This way we learn to move through our destiny. Svhati Nakshatra is the energy that seeks to move through constraints by finding a solution. We could say that Svhati welcomes the challenge of restraints.

This is the energy of forbearance, patience and strategy. Such a standing takes a rhythmical steady involvement of the breath. If we consider the opposite of this, then we can see the malfunctioning expression of Svhati.

When the energy of Svhati malfunctions, we lose the awareness of strategy and we can start going off course in the use of our power. This is the energy that is not able to hold its power, regulate itself and compromise cleverly while it considers the strategy out of its predicament. Such a stance is ultimately defeating and deflating. It either sets one up against things at one’s own expense of breath, or at the opposite pole, causes resignation in declining the strategic, regulated use of life force.

What then is the panacea for the malfunctioning of the energy of Svhati? The answer lays with the god of this star. We have seen how Vayu is the lord of wind and breath. When we work with the breath, then we bring Vayu into his full power. When Vayu is in his full power, then we have a healthy unfolding of our individual capacities without having to brandish the sword to prove ourselves.
Remember that the sword is one of the symbols of Svhati Nakshatra.

A Single Breath
All battles that we envisage are battles within our very own breath. By guarding the power of our breath, we strengthen the true power of our individual life expression.
Though it might blow like a single sapling in the wind (another symbol for Svhati), it can maintain its unique power because it does not waste its breath against the many winds that blow.

On a practical level, wind (Prana) is strengthened through working with the breath, all introverting and focussed activities strengthen the Prana. Moving slowly and steadily with awareness of every breath is the surest way to the power of Prana.

#Swati

The purest first drop of rain will correctly define Swati #Nakshatra. Also, the fifteenth constellation of the zodiac means ‘ #sword’. As the name suggests, the natives of Swati Nakshatra will be impressed with brilliance and talent. Swati has excellent communication skills and is incomparable to expressing their thoughts freely. These will add to the charm of the native, and the native will use it to experience the world. Also, strongly believe in social etiquette. The native’s trials to best fit into society will continue throughout his/her life. Due to the positive attitude and confidence of the native, the native will remain unmoved in the changing times. Regardless of the situation the native is dealing with, doing the right thing will always be their motto. The ruling planet Rahu will indicate the hidden potential of the native.

Our #birth nakshatra and Lagna nakshatra are the roadmaps of our lives; it indicate our nature, the direction of our lives, and our preferences. It improves our development if we understand the quality of your birth constellation and apply it to our life

This Nakshatra is owned by Lord #Vayu and is also influenced by #Rahu. As a result, both of them leave their influence on the constellation and give it qualities like independence, spontaneity, complete freedom, and restless behavior.

Individuals are generally characterized by self-confidence and the immense knowledge that they possess.

characteristics of behavior

They are quite sociable by nature, but due to the influence of air, one of those distinguishing behavioural characteristics is a steadfast attitude. Natives are very helpful and proactive in assisting anyone who needs it, as long as it does not interfere with their independence. They dislike criticism, either of their work or of criticism in general. Another easily observable behavioural trait is not being overly influenced by a person’s status or social position and giving them limited respect.

positive signs

Referring to the positive traits of the individuals of this Nakshatra, they are very knowledgeable and witty, have high self-esteem and have a strong liking for working in freedom. They are God-fearing and religious people and helpful and truthful in nature, which defines some of the other positive traits found in these people.

negative signs and symptoms

Although they have many positive traits, their strong independence-centeredness draws some of the negative traits that are common in these people. They are frequently found to be obstinate and adamant. They refuse to listen to some coworkers if they believe their independence has been compromised in any way. This can create chaos in both work and personal life. Other common negative symptoms include agitation and uncertainty in decision-making. They may not be well-liked in society as a result of these characteristics.

#Ardra #Nakshatra in #Astrology denotes that native has intellectual nature, passionate thinking side, is sharp-minded, looking for why and the cause behind things that happen in the world, has strong speaking talents, lack a large number of close friends, confrontations with others, master of debates and arguments, makes enemies easily, causing emotional pain to others, and can be turned away by society.

Ardra Nakshatra in #VedicAstrology is one of the Urdhvamukhi Nakshatras (or the Nakshatras, which have their mouths upwards). In these Nakshatras, things related to palaces, coronations, boundary walls, and tall structures can be auspiciously begun and performed.

Symbol: A #Bead or a #Drop
The sign for this Nakshatra is a tear or a drop. This is an indication of seminal fluid that causes fertilization.

Deity: Lord #Rudhra
The deity for Ardra Nakshatra is #Rudra. The meaning of the word Rudhra is the one who makes #cry because Rudh means to cry. The deity for #Rohini is #Brahma and for Ardra is Rudhra. Brahma is the creator, #Vishnu is the maintainer, and Rudhra is the destroyer. You may wonder how come Rudhra came after Brahma instead of Vishnu. This is because the egg was formed and didn’t get fertilized. This means the creation and destruction happened but were not maintained. Vishnu is a deity of Shravana Nakshatra because, during #Shravana Nakshathra, the development of the baby is complete.

Characteristics of Ardra Nakshatra in Astrology
The animal of Ardra Nakshatra is a #female #wolf or a female #dog. A dog is the most fascinating creature on this planet.
It can love to the point that it will give its life for you, or it can bite and throttle someone’s bone if they cross their territory.
They are needy, emotional, and pack animals. They always want to be with you and feel abandoned when you go to work.
Dogs have alpha dog in the pack, usually in domestic settings, where there are more than 3 dogs.
One will always become the alpha, but there aren’t any alpha in wolves except the senior dog, who may be the pack’s parent.
They work as a team without a leader.
Translating these facts into Nakshatra is quite simple. Ardra natives require extreme loyalty in love and friendship.
They do not want to feel abandoned by you else, they either become extremely emotional or wild like the wolf to defend their loyalty for you.
They go to extremes of showing their loyalty by even giving their own lives, but when you cross them or their loved one, they will come after you like a hungry dog or wolf and eat the flesh off of you.
They are unpredictable, like a strange dog. You do not know if they are friendly or will try to bite you.
Therefore, everyone is cautious of approaching an Ardra native.
When Ardra natives gets angry, sad and frustrated, they will #howl and scream like the wolf, especially when the impact of malefics is on the planet placed in Ardra.
Usually, these people are calm and very private, like the wild wolves, which hide in the deep forest.
Wolves are excellent hunters in the world. Ardra natives love going hunting, which is also their symbolism of “The Hunter”.
They love eating wild game meat like elk, venison, wild boar, alligator etc. This quality of hunting also gives such natives good eyesight in the dark.
Such folks will always hunt for their object of desire when they like someone and will do whatever it takes to get them.
The deity of this Nakshatra is Rudra (Shiva). #Shiva is an #Aghori, the one who is #naked, constantly meditates, deals and #loves #death, knows the value of death, stays in #cremation grounds, eating wild fruits, berries of forest including meat.
Yes, Shiva did it all. All the things are in Shiva Purana. Shiva is known as #Bholenaath (the innocent one), he gives whatever you ask him.
He is always in meditation and calm, but if you were to disturb him from his meditation, he will not only destroy you but has the capacity of destroying the entire Universe.
Rudra (Shiva) is also one of the first #medicine #man from the #RigVeda.
He is one of the best physicians of all times. He was making medicine himself and healing people under the name Vaidyanatha (Lord of remedies).
Rudra is the embodiment of Shiva with armor along with bow & arrow, just like the Hunter of #Orion.
It’s said that one must worship Rudra in order to attain moksha.
Rudra was created by multiple Gods to get to Brahma, who was chasing his daughter for procreation.
Gods wanted something so powerful that could take Brahma down, and this is how Rudra was manifested.
Ardra natives are exactly like Shiva.
They are wild, unorthodox; they can go to the extreme of everything like extreme meditation, love, lust, anger, work, and emotions, just like how Shiva’s anger can destroy the whole Universe.
They are usually calm people who are wild in a silly sense.
They are very animated and can be boys of boys or girls amongst boys due to the muscle nature of this Nakshatra.
A girl usually is a tomboy in youth.
Once Shiva is disturbed from his calm mood or backstabbed, then they become Rudra and will destroy whatever is in front of them.
They are the ones who can throw everything from their desk when angry.
Ardra natives also make great physicians, and are related to pharmaceutical and Ayurveda professions.
Career is determined by using the Dharma, Artha, Kama, Moksha technique.
The symbolism of Ardra is a teardrop and a skull. The teardrop represents the drop of the storm.
A storm will always start out with a few drops on your head, and before you know, you are in a flood of water.
The drop is known as a “tear drop”, which is the teardrop of Shiva.
In real life, Ardra must face storms of emotions where tears just come out.
When they cry, they will cry a storm and usually, it can be over very small things.
The cry is not normal; it’s a cry with a howl and scream.
Out of all the Nakshatras, Ardra is the most emotional and with deep feelings, but the reason why they have such feelings is because the world is supposed to betray those feelings, so the water inside turns into a fierce storm.
It’s in their karma to deal with tears; therefore, they make the best actors in front of a camera.
When Ardra native reads a letter, email or text message from past, they can have a river of tears flowing out of them.
The symbolism of the skull is the mystical and realistic side of Ardra.
A skull is actually one of the best tools for an Aghori in the cremation ground.
They use the skull for drinking wine. It may be sacrilegious for us, but we are too dumb to understand the scientist (Aghori) practicing this science of nature.
There is a logical purpose why an Aghori smears themselves with ashes and drink from skull or eat the flesh of the dead.
The skull symbolism shows that Ardra is not afraid of death and is curious about the world of mysticism, occult, tantra, and magic rituals.
Skull is also where the hair grows, and Ardra represents the hair of Shiva.
The controller of this Nakshatra is #Rahu. All three Nakshatras of Rahu, which are Ardra Nakshatra, #Swati Nakshatra and #Shatabhisha Nakshatra, will have a lot of similar themes to them compared to other Nakshatra being ruled by a single planet.
Rahu is like Jupiter. All Rahu ruled Nakshatras love space, science fiction, astrophysics, the astral plane, fantasy and anything to do with the new-age technology.
Even though Ardra is a medicine man, but these natives are attracted to future technology.
Out of all the Nakshatras of Rahu, Ardra has the capacity to write a great science fiction book.
All Ardra natives dive into the fantasy of what is the world, how the world works, and what else is out there in the ether besides this blue planet, Earth.
Attributes of Ardra Nakshatra in Astrology
Ardra Nakshatra extends in Gemini (Mithun) from 6’40” to 20’00”.
When Surya enters Ardra, the Earth is said to be starting its menstrual course, that is, Ambubachi.
Ardra means wet or surcharged with water. Because the Earth is running her menstrual course, teardrops fall one after another.
From Rudra comes all suffering, persecutions and oppressions, anger, the ferocity of countenance or hideousness of noise. Rudra is another name of Shiva, the five-faced (Panchanana).
In knowledge, asceticism, renunciation, and enjoyment, he is the supreme consummation of all desires. He is a blue-throated one, the wielder of the tremendous powers, what could not be attempted, far less achieved by other Gods.
On one side, he symbolizes the perfect placidity and serenity; on the other hand, he is the symbol of all that is terrible. He holds the great serpent on his head and forehead crescent Chandra with his sweet-soft light.
At the same time, he is the most peaceful and the most terrible. And in all these are to be traced the intrinsic characteristics of Ardra.
Superficially, on the surface of it, Ardra stands for suffering, hardness, cruelty, murder, prison, theft, adultery, etc.
The root characteristic is oppression in order to purify. All male kidney troubles, connected urethral diseases and also uterine diseases of the females, come within the jurisdiction of Ardra.
Description of Ardra Nakshatra in Vedic Astrology Treatise
According to Hora Sara: The native with Ardra as his natal Nakshatra will have a wavering mind, be a crafty speaker, and will steal others’ money, be self-respected, will have few sons, be long-lived, and will have royal money.
According to Jataka Parijata: If at a native’s birth, the Moon is in Ardra, he will be destitute to wealth, fickle, with much physical strength, and addicted to base actions.
According to Sage Narada: The native born in Ardra will be interested in rituals related to tantra, adventurous, skillful in trading, fierce, and ungrateful.
According to Brihat Samhita: The asterism Ardra makes one perfidious, haughty, irascible, ungrateful, cruel, and sinful.

#Swati #Nakshatra is the 15th of 27 #nakshatras. If you were born when the #moon was between 6:40-20:00 degrees #Libra

#Sanskrit Name: स्वाति (Swati) comes from the Sanskrit words सु (very good) and आति (goer). One meaning of Swati is a “great mover,” indicating movement, independence, and an idealistic nature.

Planetary Ruler: #Rahu. The planet Rahu is equated with the North node of the moon and is described in the Vedas as the disembodied head of the demon Rahu. #Vedic lore describes that eclipses occur when the sun or moon is swallowed by the head of Rahu. Rahu is associated with trouble, disease, and radical change.

Nakshatra Group: Godly. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Swati is a godly nakshatra. People in this group are generally good-natured and fortunate in life. However, they may struggle with pride and a sense of entitlement.

Zodiac Sign: Libra. Libra natives possess excellent taste and good judgement. They are friendly, learned, and dignified, but may be prone to arrogance.

Deity: #Vayu. The ruler of the air and wind, Vayu is also intrinsically connected with the life force, or #prana, through the breath. He is respected as a powerful god who can blow away hindrances and contaminations like the wind he controls.

Symbol: A #fresh blade of grass. This represents the innocence of youth, flexibility, and innate potential for strength.

Power: To disperse or bring to an end. The changeable nature and power of the wind gives Swatis the ability to wipe the slate completely clean. They can destroy things or make them disappear, allowing for a fresh start.

Resonant Syllables: In India, the birth nakshatra is traditionally used as one means of choosing the name of a child. The corresponding syllables for the four quarters (padas) of Swati are Ru (रू), Re (रे), Ro (रो), and Ta (ता). The syllable of a person’s first name is sometimes used when calculating an astrological chart if the time of birth is unknown.

Strengths
Swati natives are #independent by nature — they don’t depend on others for motivation. You are confident and often drawn to pursue adventure. Change doesn’t disturb you, and you have the ability to be flexible and adjust to whatever circumstances you come across. Happiness comes naturally to Swatis who are in their element. You tend to see the glass as half full and can usually find something positive in any situation.

People like you — you endear yourself to others with your modesty, compassion, and generous nature. Another remarkable quality is your skill at communication, for you manage to be simultaneously honest and charming. Thanks to this rare harmony and your intelligence, people are inclined to listen to you and you have the potential to be very influential.

Doing the right thing is important to Swati natives, and this results in an interest in ethics, morality, and theology. However, you don’t use ideas about right and wrong to create excessive boundaries and limitations. You are liberal in your thinking and willing to accept many people and practices, and may explore a number of different paths in your life. Although you may not pursue it right away, many Swatis feel most fulfilled once they find spiritual meaning in their lives.

Swati Careers
As excellent self-starters, Swatis can bring a lot of energy to their work. They will do best in careers where their independence is utilized rather than stifled.

Some ideal professions include:
Lawyer, judge, or politician
Sales executive, stock broker, or entrepreneur
Travel agent, travel journalist, or other career that involves travel
Member of the clergy or other spiritual vocation
Weaknesses
The downside of Swati’s spontaneous nature is a tendency to be impulsive. You might jump into a course of action on the spur of the moment, despite time spent making a different decision. It can be difficult for you to stick with the plan and you might feel trapped, restless, and discontented. Remember that real progress won’t be made unless you can train yourself to focus and control your more temperamental side.

Anger can be an issue for Swati natives. You might damage yourself unnecessarily, sabotaging yourself and your relationships, if you aren’t able to curb your anger when you sense that it’s about to get out of hand. Another way you might hinder yourself is a habit of extreme procrastination. Don’t let your dislike of structure and commitment prevent you from taking care of necessary tasks. Immediate pleasure is often your go-to, but a life of continual indulgence and living in the moment will quickly cause you trouble.

The flipside of your independence is that you often focus too exclusively on your own needs and desires. You may pursue opportunities for personal gain at the expense of others. This may not be intentional, but unless you train yourself to consider others’ needs you could become quite self-absorbed.

Swatis must learn to harness their proclivity for change. Your ability to remove the old and make space for the new is a gift when it’s used in a constructive way, but it can easily be destructive instead. Don’t tear things apart just for the sake of it. Finding this balance will be easier if you can remain internally centered and grounded — making time for solitude and reflection can help you immensely.

Other Personality Traits
You are prone to go into debt. Your love of spontaneity and enjoying the moment can lead you to make financial decisions that aren’t exactly prudent.

You will travel a lot. You love adventure and it’s hard to keep you pinned down to one place. You might even live abroad.

You may achieve some renown. Your dynamic personality attracts others to you and makes you hard to forget. You’ll be well-known and may experience some degree of fame.

You might have unrealistic goals. You have lots of ideas and aren’t short of ambitions, but try not to get ahead of yourself. You’ll be able to accomplish more if you ground your plans in reality — taking advice from others in this regard will be helpful.

You are a good networker. Your charisma and communication skills give you influence over others, and your travels put you in contact with a wide variety of people. You’ll have many connections to call upon when needed.

You may be disinterested in your family. Home and family don’t have the same power over you as they do for many others. For you, it is what is found outside the bounds of the familiar that motivates you. Your focus is on adventure rather than comfort and security.

Swati Compatibility
Swati sexuality is symbolized by a male buffalo. In terms of physical compatibility, this makes them an ideal match for persons born under Hasta nakshatra.

Ashwini
Bharani (for female natives)
Mrigashira
Krittika (for male natives)

Visakhas in Libra (for male natives)
Chitras in Libra (for female natives)
Uttara-ashadhas in Capricorn (for male natives)
Purva-bhadrapadas in Aquarius
Dhanishtas in Aquarius (for male natives)
Note: Compatibility in relationships is a complex science that looks at many different factors. You should always consult with an experienced astrologer who can carefully analyze the charts of both you and your partner.

Swati’s Four Quarters #Padas)
Each nakshatra is divided into four quarters, also known as padas, of 3:20 degrees each. These quarters are based on a 1/9th divisional chart, known in Sanskrit as navamsha.

The moon’s position at your time of birth determines the quarter in which you are born.

First Quarter (6:40-10:00 degrees Libra): Sagittarius. You are always curious to learn something new and aren’t afraid to ask questions — your curiosity also extends to a love for travel. Working to improve the welfare of others is important to you, and you’re likely to give generously to charities and engage in other works of philanthropy. However, you can be proud.

Second Quarter (10:00-13:20 degrees Libra): Capricorn. You are more settled than other Swatis — you are grounded and methodical in your approach. However, it can be difficult for you to overcome your propensity for indulgence and you might fall into bad habits. You can tend to be selfish.

Third Quarter (13:20-16:40 degrees Libra): Aquarius. Your mind is a powerful tool, and you are intellectual and able to think out of the box. In general, you are very creative. You have a knack for business, but can spend your money too readily.

Fourth Quarter (16:40-20:00 degrees Libra): Pisces. You often come up with ideas that no one else would have thought of — you are imaginative and can find solutions that are both clever and original. You often put others before yourself. You have a good reputation and are respected by many people.
