You are very compassionate and giving, and are able to make whoever comes to you feel comfortable and taken care of.

You are also a born hermit and while you can mingle with anybody, you protect your solitude.

Its deity is Ahir Budhanya, the wise and compassionate serpent that resides in the depth of the waters. This Nakshatra is excellent for all types of positive and peaceful activities. Things begun now will progress steadily and will have good results in the future; start a spiritual practice such as meditation and chanting; look into something that will help your career or life in general; start taking care of your health by taking medicine or by beginning a yoga asana practice; get married etc. Uttara Bhadrapada is ruled by Saturn and it lies within Pisces, ruled by Jupiter.

It is also a great time for all things related to land or buildings: Look for a house; Make an offer on a property: open or close escrow; begin construction; plant seeds in your garden etc. It is not a very good day to travel, or exhaust or stress yourself by acting hastily.

Footnote by James: Throughout Vedic Literature, and practically all ancient cultures, mystical serpents have been described. One such snake is the Kaliya Serpent, who was polluting the Yamuna River with his poison. After Krishna banished him, legend has that he took up residence in Fiji where the native people acknowledge this mystical snake. Srila Prabhupada, upon hearing the native legend, had the devotees install the deity of Krishna Kaliya, Krishna dancing on the heads of the Kaliya Serpent. In Japanese culture, serpents are considered to be the presiding deities of all the ancient rivers. They see them as wise and compassionate, but strict and furious when offended, very much like the characteristics of this Nakshatra, ruled by Saturn in Jupiter’s sign.

A FREE SPIRITED LOVE CHILD Sun in Revati: March 31st to April 13th Approximately Ascendant or Moon in Revati: Pisces 16’40” to Pisces 30’00” You are a dreamer and a mediator to the world beyond. You naturally feel connected with the Divine and you have an absolute faith in the universal will. Like the symbol, a fish swimming in the water, you are a carefree soul, floating in the ocean of universal consciousness. Just like an uncorrupted child, you are always full of wonder and optimism, non-judgmental, and fun loving. At the same time, you are sensible, sophisticated and able to keep distance from the mundane problems of life. The presiding deity, Pushan, provides nourishment to those on the path. You feel content and nourished, which comes from your innate belief in love. You are also sociable and sincere when interacting with others; a very sympathetic and empathetic person who would stay up late to listen to a friend. You naturally keep a nice group of people around you whom you give to and receive from. Therefore, you are able to gather people to accomplish a big goal. You are always light on your feet and have a very clear idea of where you are going. You know the journey doesn’t have to always be a struggle; living in the moment is the most important thing. The translation, “Wealthy” combines both material and spiritual wealth. You have an unbounded creativity and you exude a sense of abundance. You are attractive and magnetic, because you know how to engage and cast your “imagery” on everyone. Just like the image conveyed by “The World” in a tarot deck, you embody the culmination of the material world and the door to the spiritual world. Revati is ruled by Mercury and lies in Pisces, ruled by Jupiter. Even though this gives you all the great qualities mentioned above, you should be careful not to be a crowd pleaser and destroy your true self. You go out of your way to make people happy and often get exhausted or hurt by others. Also, you could be very ungrounded and unrealistic in your pursuits and have a weakness to indulge yourself in pleasure. Remember you are here to go beyond the world of illusions, not to be stuck or be affected by it. Trust yourself and paint your most beautiful divine dream!

This Nakshatra’s ability to produce people pleasers shows an abundance of comedians: David Letterman, Eddie Murphy, Marilu Henner, and Jackie Chan, all Sun in Revati.

He is also known for nurturing other black comedians. Marilu Henner used her popularity to promote healthy life styles. Jackie Chan, even though he is a martial artist, has created characters that are soft hearted and funny. Revati lies in Pisces, the natural 12th house, which rules not only spirituality but also pleasures of the bed.

The classic composer, Johann Sebastian Bach, had both his Sun and Moon in Revati. He created religious and celestial music that we even enjoy centuries later.

Special Power Kshiradyapani shakti means the power to nourish like milk. Revati people are expert at nourishing and inspiring everyone with their genuine heart. When the Moon is in Revati: Revati is symbolized by a fish, which swims freely in the vast ocean. Its presiding deity is Pushan, a solar god who sheds light on the path and nurtures those on it. All positive activities of a spiritual nature started now will flourish in the future: start reading ancient scripture; go on a trip; start a yoga studio, healing or spiritual center; file the paperwork for a non-profit organization; hold a ground breaking ceremony for a church or a temple. Any kind of spiritual, religious or charitable activities are supported now. Also, as Pushan nourishes all who are on a journey, it is a good time to take a break, relax, have fun and hang out with your friends, your lover or your family. Another symbol for this Nakshatra is a drum, so any artistic exploration such as music, drama or writing will also be fruitful. Revati is ruled by Mercury and it lies within Pisces, ruled by Jupiter. This is the time to expand your wealth: have a business meeting at work; work to improve finances or invest in something; buy new jewelry or wear jewelry for the first time; buy a new car; buy a new house. It is an excellent time for marriage. This is the last of all the Nakshatras, so it is very auspicious for all completions. It also means it is not good to start things during the last part of this Nakshatra. Nurture your spirit, feel the love and manifest positivity in the world! Historical Trivia: The United Nations was formed on October 24th, 1945 in Washington DC with the Ascendant in Revati. As their flag, the world with laurel leaves suggests, it is formed to achieve the unity and peace among all countries. An example of their success is UNICEF, which has saved more lives of children than any other humanitarian organizations in the world. Footnote by James Revati, is also the name of the wife of Lord Balarama, who is Lord Krishna’s elder brother. He performs childhood pastimes with Lord Krishna in the enchanted forest of Vrndavan, and later also resides in Dwaraka as a king and a kshatriya. In spiritual life, he gives us the necessary spiritual strength for success, representing the Guru.
