Revati Nakshatra

Revati — “the wealthy” — closes the zodiac at the end of Pisces, ruled by Mercury under Pushan, who guides travellers and finds lost things. Its fish swim in the great waters; its drum keeps time for the journey. A Revati Moon is gentle, nurturing, imaginative and protective of the vulnerable, with a talent for guidance and completion. Natives care for animals, children and travellers, and are often artistic. It is the last gandanta junction. It begins life in a seventeen-year Mercury dasha.

Revati in a birth chart

  • Nurturing and guidance
  • Imagination and gentleness
  • Completion and endings
  • Over-giving

These are the classical themes of a Moon in Revati. How they play out depends on the rest of the chart — the Moon's house, its lord Mercury's own placement, and the dasha running now. The AI astrologer reads all of that together.

FAQ

Revati nakshatra — common questions

What is Revati nakshatra?

Revati (रेवती) is the 27th of the 27 nakshatras, spanning 346°40′–360°00′ of the sidereal zodiac (16°40′ to 30°00′ Pisces). Its Vimshottari lord is Mercury, its deity Pushan, the nourisher and guide of travellers, its symbol the fish, or a drum for keeping time. It belongs to the Deva gana and the Antya nadi, with the elephant yoni.

Which rashi is Revati in?

Entirely in Pisces: all four padas of Revati fall in that sign, so anyone born with the Moon in Revati has Pisces as their Moon sign.

What is the first dasha for someone born in Revati?

Mercury mahadasha, which lasts 17 years in full. How much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Revati the Moon had travelled — the balance of dasha — so two people born under Revati can have very different first chapters. The dasha calculator computes yours to the day.

What are the naming letters for Revati?

By pada: pada 1 — De, pada 2 — Do, pada 3 — Cha, pada 4 — Chi. Traditional naming (namakarana) picks a first syllable from the pada the Moon occupied at birth.

Is today good for someone born in Revati?

That is tara bala: count today's nakshatra from Revati and fold into nine. Sampat, Kshema, Sadhaka, Mitra and Ati Mitra are favourable; Vipat, Pratyari and Vadha are not; Janma is neutral. The card on this page computes it from the ephemeris each day.
