#Revati #Nakshatra #constellation is the final stop in the zodiac, right next to the newly included Abhijeet nakshatra. It holds special significance as it’s considered the #birth #star of #Goddess #Laxmi, the deity of prosperity.

This constellation is often referred to as the ‘bringer of light.’ In this context, light symbolizes wisdom, knowledge, spiritual growth, and ultimately, enlightenment. It’s like a guiding star that can lead you from the material world to a metaphysical realm, or simply put, help you find inner enlightenment.

One interesting aspect is that it’s ruled by Mercury, which makes it the last Mercurial constellation. This transition from Mercury’s influence to Jupiter’s wisdom is quite significant. Since all Piscean constellations are ruled by Jupiter, Revathi marks a shift towards acquiring wisdom. It’s also associated with liberation Revati Nakshatra.

If someone has Revati with Ketu in the 11th or 12th house of their birth chart, it’s believed to symbolize liberation from the cycle of birth and death, known as samsara. This is seen as the final incarnation on Earth, indicating spiritual liberation Revati Nakshatra.

The symbol of Revati is a pair of fish, which aligns with Pisces being a water sign. This symbolizes the journey of the human soul in the spiritual realm. Fish also represent fertility and growth, making this Nakshatra a symbol of both endings and new beginnings Revati Nakshatra.

The drum, another symbol of Revati Nakshatra, was historically used by kings and rulers to convey important messages to the masses. In the context of this Nakshatra, it represents communication. People born under Revati often have sociable and pleasing personalities, which can be attributed to this communication symbolism Revati Nakshatra.
