About Swati Nakshatra
Swati is the fifteenth and central Nakshatra of the 27 Nakshatras. It is one of the Nakshatra that is represented by a single star. This Nakshatra corresponds to the western star, Arcturus (Alpha- Bootis). Arcturus is the third brightest star that can be spotted in the night sky with naked eyes. In Vedic texts, Swati Nakshatra is considered as the abode of the Goddess Saraswati, the Goddess of music, learning and knowledge.

As per Etymology, the word “ Swati” means “self-going”, “good goer”, “sword”, “independent”, and “delicate”. Each meaning of the star represents its traits and functioning. Symbolized by the “young plant shoot blown by the wind”, the Swati constellation signifies airy quality and every form of delicacy. It encourages restlessness, adaptability, dexterity and nomad qualities. The alternate symbol of Swati Nakshatra “Coral” represents the creativity that emerges out of parting with a piece of itself. It relates to Planet Mars that offers mobility, energy and strength to Swati Nakshatra. Ancient sages also symbolize the Swati constellation with “a Sword” that represents its fiery and edgy traits. It shows that in times of need, the delicate young plant shoot can transform into a strong and hard sword.

Positioned in the middle of constellations, Swati Nakshatra is the balancing pivot of the zodiac. It represents the phase of life where everything goes smooth and well. It shows the equilibrium point where the Universe stops expanding and begins contracting. Ruled by Rahu, the Swati constellation manifests the energies of an earthy plane. It shows the love of show and pomp and possesses a strong urge for comfort and luxury. The influence of Rahu-Venus brings out the potential that is hidden and needs to be discovered. Thus, people born in Swati Nakshatra crave success and are open to learning and spiritual knowledge. They attain success in Venusian pursuits and exhibit Venusian energies such as love, compassion and harmony.

Vayu, the presiding deity of Swati Nakshatra is referred to as the God of Wind in Vedic texts. He is one of the five gods that reside in heaven or Swarga. All the qualities of Vayu can be manifested by the Swati Nakshatra through lord Hanuman, son of Vayu. In a higher aspect, the Swati Nakshatra attains the qualities of Hanuman such as extreme strength, loyalty, sense of propriety, morality and ability to serve.

Swati Nakshatra in English is referred to as Swati. Whereas, Swati Nakshatra in Tamil is named Swathi Natchathiram (சுவாதி நட்சத்திரம்), the name of Swati Nakshatra in Malayalam is Chothi Nakshatra (ചോതി നക്ഷത്ര) and the name of Swati Nakshatra in Telugu is Swati (స్వాతి).

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.
Attributes of Swati Nakshatra in Astrology
Spread from 6’40” to 20’00” Libra (Tula).
Restlessness disposition or physical restlessness, inability to stay still at any place, fidgetiness and noise come from the attributes of its deity, the wind.
The winds (Marut) are the Lords of the North-West. There are 49 of them under ‘Pavana’. Of all Gods, he is the strongest and most obstinate.
These are derived from the knowledge, and the physical internal adjustments of the 5 Winds – Pan, Apan, Vyan, Udan and Saman.
Also from this comes the storms and the whirlwind, the concrete disturbance of the atmosphere.
A native born under this star is good at buying and selling; his wealth and property comes and goes quite easily. He is an independent sort of man, always striving for more independence.
Asceticism is yet another attribute of this star.
The wind is the great scavenger; it sweats the dross and purifies.

This nakshatra is governed by #Rahu. That can make these natives sharp and penetrating with their actions and words. They endeavour to be free and maverick. However, they are extremely aspiring and anxious to learn.

In the zodiac wheel, Swati Nakshatra is connected to the Libra sign.

#SVHATI #NAKSHATRA #SWATI

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
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.

On this Full Moon night of Ritual we shall gather to work with Prana to unfold the layers that connect Vayu, Svhati and Hanuman, the Monkey God who masters and teaches the art of breathing.

6°40" to 20°00 Libra (Tula)
#Nakshatra #Rahu #Swati #Vayu
The 15th Nakshatra: SWATI.
The four quarters are ruled by:
Guru (Jupiter) - the 1st quarter,
Shani (Saturn) - the 2nd quarter,
Shani (Saturn) - the 3rd quarter,
and Guru (Jupiter) - the 4th quarter.

Other aspects of this Nakshatra:
The Purushardha (life's vector or motivation) is Artha.
Totem animal is #Buffalo (male).
Symbol - #coral.
Devata (Deity) - Vayu.
Dosha - Kapha.

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

Females will enjoy a little different result than those mentioned above.

  1. Physical features: She can be distinctively identified from the way of her walk because she is very slow in walking.

  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.

  3. Education, sources of earning/profession: In case she takes up some employment she will attain much fame even beyond anticipation. As the fate would have it, while she does not like to travel, she is forced due to circumstances to accept a job where more traveling is involved.

  4. Family life: She will have to act against her consciousness in regard to moral due to some peculiar circumstances and atmosphere prevalent in the family. However, she will enjoy complete satisfaction from her children.

  5. Health: Outwardly her health will not look to be very good. But internal constitution is weak. She may suffer from bronchitis, asthma, breast pain, broken feet ankles and uterus trouble.

#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.
