#Revati #Nakshatra is the last of the 27 Nakshatras in the Nakshatra wheel, spanning 16º40′ – 30º00 sidereal Pisces. Revati indicates wealth – material wealth as well as spiritual wealth. It’s the last Nakshatra on the souls journey through the cycle of birth and rebirth and what we experience here above all else is an accumulation and wealth of experience. This doesn’t mean we’ve reached the end, no, the opposite is the case. It’s simply a step on our journey toward spiritual awakening that gets repeated over and over in this lifetime and throughout many more.
We can also see this in one of Revati’s symbol, the #fish. Fitting, really, seeing how Revati is fully located in Pisces, the sign of the Fish. It also indicates the notion of our soul swimming in the cosmic sea, the cosmic ocean as part of the universe as a whole. The other symbol belonging to Revati is the #drum, which indicates rhythm, like dancing to your own rhythm, though this is more of an interpretation fitting with the drum in Dhanishtha Nakshatra. It indicates a talent for going with the universal rhythm, the universal heart-beat, and a good sense for keeping time. Often when a person has planets in Revati Nakshatra they have an excellent sense of time and for being timely, even overly developed at that. This will be a person who will show up for meetings early or right on time and won’t have much patience for tardiness in others.
Revati is a Nakshatra of guidance, and again we can see this in a sense of following the drum-beat, like literally following a drummer who guides us on our journey.
#Pushan – The Nourisher – is Revati’s ruling deity and as a solar god brings light to our journey. This also connects him to Revati’s quality of guidance and travel or journeying, in a spiritual and physical sense. Pushan represents #Ahimsa – Non-Violence, which is important in Revati Nakshatra. Pushan is connected to animals, mostly larger animals like farm animals, cows, horses, sheep etc. He guards these animals, keeps them safe and content. Pushan has no teeth, which also connects to Ahimsa, without teeth we can’t bite and cause harm.
There is a story on how Pushan lost his teeth that I shared previously:
One day there was a ceremonial festivity to which Rudra, Shiva’s avatar of storms and rain, was not invited. When Rudra heard about the gathering he felt insulted and got outraged. He went to the site of the festivity and crashed the party. He shot an arrow into a Prasad, a ceremonial offering, just as Pushan was biting down on it. So instead of the sweet treat Pushan’s teeth met the hard arrow and his teeth broke off and fell out.
Needless to say that vegetarianism is a good option if you have planets in Revati or simply want to work with this Nakshatra. Abstinence from eating meat during a Revati Moon once every month is also a nice way to honour this Nakshatras energy and spirit.
