Revati nakshatra (Revatī)

Revati, the wealthy, is the last nakshatra and closes the circle. It is linked with nourishment, safe journeys, kindness to animals and a gentle, guiding care for others.

In the Vimshottari dasha system, Revati's ruler Mercury governs a period of 17 years.

Is Revati your birth nakshatra? Today's Panchang

27 lunar mansions of 13°20' each starting at 0° sidereal Mesha (Ashwini). Each has 4 padas of 3°20' (padas map to the navamsa signs, Ashwini pada 1 = Mesha navamsa). Lord = Vimshottari dasha lord (sequence Ketu, Venus, Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, repeated 3 times; dasha years 7, 20, 6, 10, 7, 18, 16, 19, 17 = 120). Abhijit (deity Brahma; Vega region, traditionally 6°40' Makara to 10°53'20" Makara, the last quarter of Uttara Ashadha plus the first 1/15 of Shravana) is the 28th nakshatra of the older Vedic lists and of muhurta work, but it is NOT counted in the 27-fold zodiac used for birth nakshatra, dasha and panchang. Gana, yoni and nadi are the Ashtakoota (marriage-matching) attributes; the yoni animal pairs are standard, but some sources swap the male/female assignment within a pair (e.g. Rohini/Mrigashira). Deities: older Vedic texts (e.g. Taittiriya Brahmana) swap Bhaga and Aryaman between the two Phalgunis; most Jyotish sources give Bhaga to Purva and Aryaman to Uttara as here. Chitra's deity is Tvashtar in Vedic texts, Vishvakarma in later ones. Symbols vary between sources; the most common is given first. Descriptions are traditional character sketches, not predictions.
