This is 15th Nakshatra of the zodiac, having all its four quarters in Tula (Libra), spanning from 6°40' to 20°00'. The node Rahu rules this Nakshatra. The entire span of this Nakshatra falls in the sign Tula (Libra), the sign ruled by the lord of beauty, Shukra (Venus). These people have beautiful physical appearance, a well-balanced body. Females born in this sign and Nakshatra walk as if they are thinking deep before taking every step and trying to balance their body before taking any further action.

A well-balanced behavior is the essence of their life. These people try to maintain a balance in every walk of their life. They believe in the principle of live and let live. Also they are helpful to others in case of their need. They do not like to do any injustice to others neither do they like any injustice being done to them. But these people are adamant, and they do not like the criticism of their work. A large number of those born in Swati earn their living trough the jobs or businesses involved in traveling.

These people are intelligent and hardworking, but they have to face difficulties in the early part of their life. This is same even for the people who are born in the wealthiest families. But they early struggle serves well for these people, as they start seeing the path clearly ahead of them. The experiences learned in the early part of life serve well.

A strong Shukra (Venus) or Rahu in case of those born in this Nakshatra makes the native good in art work related with the trade of cloth, jewellery, valuable stones, etc. A conjunction of moon with Shukra (Venus) will make the native extremely beautiful and lucky. These people will gain in every assignment they undertake. But in case of a beneficial aspect of Chandra (Moon) with Mangala (Mars), the native may serve in the defense forces or may earn through any of the outdoor games.

When the lord of this Nakshatra, Rahu, is placed in the first house, the native will be short in height, slightly obese. When Rahu is placed in the seventh house, there will be some kind of difference in the wife and husband. For example, one of the partners may be well educated compared with the other or there will be some disparity in physical appearance.

Male Natives

  1. Physical features : One of the peculiar features of Swati born is that his under part of the feet will appear to be curved and the ankle risen. His feature is very attractive to the women folk. His body will be fleshy type.

  2. Character and general events: He is a peace loving person, but adamant and independent. He does not like neither to swallow others property nor ready to part with his own property. He does not like criticism of his work. Once he loses temper, it will be very difficult to calm down. Hence for a better tomorrow it would be better if he uses his proper balance of mind.

He is willing to extend any helping hand to others provided his own freedom is not questioned. He keeps limit of respect to be given to others irrespective of the position or level of persons that is to say he is not hypocritical in giving respect. He is the best friend in need and worst enemy of the hated. He does not hesitate to take revenge on the persons who is against him. His childhood days will be full of problems. He initially tries to give protection and helping hand to the most dear and near ones but he changes his mind later on due to the unwanted criticism received from such persons.

  1. Education, sources of earning/profession: His intelligence and capacity to do the work are excellent. He has to suffer, financially and mentally, even if born in a wealth family, till his 25th years of age. However, he cannot expect much progress and advancement in profession or business up to the age of 30 years. Thereafter he can have a golden period up to his 60 years of age.

The native will earn through the profession as goldsmith, travelers or drug seller, an actor or dramatist or a textile worker; may join defense (navy); one may be an astrologer or a translator; the native may be a mechanical engineer.

  1. Family life: His married life will not be so much congenial. For the outsiders it would seem that they are the most adjustable couple but in reality they are not.

  2. Health: Normally the native has a very good health. However, as every human being has to have certain diseases, he is also prone to diseases connected with the abdomen, heart, piles and arthritis.

Female Natives

  2. Character and general events: She is sympathetic and loving, virtuous and enjoys a very high social position. Fond of religious rites. She is truthful. Have many friends. She will win over enemies. While most of the women folk prefer to wander, this native is not inclined to do so.

#Swati #Nakshatra takes up 6:40-20:00 degrees in Libra and is ruled by #Rahu and the deity #Vayu, the God of Wind. Interestingly all the Rahu ruled Nakshatras are very powerful and elemental. We have Ardra Nakshatra ruled by Rudra – The Howler and deity of storms and rain, Swati ruled by Vayu the God of Winds, and Shatabisha ruled by Varuna – God of the Cosmic Ocean.

A wonderful story connected to Swati is about the Silk Cotton Tree and Vayu.

Once there was a beautiful Silk Cotton Tree, strong and magnificent in its glory with colourful fruit and leaves and strong branches. The tree has weathered every storm and not even in the strongest wind a single leaf would fall from its branches.

After some time the tree became quite contentious and started bragging that nobody, not even Vayu himself, could harm him and that he was stronger and more powerful than the God of Wind. So he challenged Vayu to a show of power.

Vayu heard of this and blew on the tree with such force that all the trees leaves and flowers blew off and he stood naked and embarrassed.

Vayu told the tree there was a sage who had often sat to meditate and honour the gods under the tree’s branches and that’s why Vayu had showed the tree mercy, not because of the trees power.

This is a great lesson in humility and keeping the ego in check.

As you can see, Swati comes with a force that can go either way. As the middlemost of the Nakshatras it tends to be a catalyst for balance, but that doesn’t mean it can’t sway any which way. The above story shows that Vayu, the God of Wind, is a powerful elemental force and can meet us as a gentle breeze and also as a hurricane. Swati gives the ability to stand in the wind of life and bending to the outside forces coming at us, rather than breaking to the onslaught of energy.

Vayu, in another sense, is oxygen. We need oxygen to breathe and to live, we can’t be without it. This shows the importance of this Nakshatra and working with it if you find it in your natal chart or are effected by it’s transit. I’ve previously suggested a practice of pranayama, in particular the balancing Nadi Shodhana – Alternating Nostril Breath.

Swati has a second symbol, the coral, which connects this Nakshatra to Mars. Only appropriate seeing that we need air to make fire, and in this sense Swati connects to Agni – the God of Fire. We may still feel an overlap of this Mars-ian energy from Chitra Nakshatra which precedes Swati in the Nakshatra wheel, also feeding into the elemental force of fire in the Air-sign Libra, and how Mars’ swift and forceful energy is balanced out here. Everything is connected, even if we have to dig a little deeper to find the intricacies that create a whole.
