Revati Nakshatra: Meaning
Revati, twenty-seventh and last nakshatra, closes the wheel at the end of Meena and marks the start of the sidereal zodiac; Budha dasha, 17 years.
With Revati, the rich, the abundant, the wheel closes and at once opens again. It is the twenty-seventh and last nakshatra, running from 16°40 to 30 degrees of Meena. Its end coincides with the beginning of Ashwini.
Its marker star is faint and almost exactly on the ecliptic. It marks the origin in the sidereal zodiac. The whole discussion about the ayanamsa depends on it. In one calculation, it coincided with the spring equinox in the year 572. Others propose five possible dates, since the star is poorly identified. As early as the eleventh century, no one could name it with certainty anymore.
Its deity is Pushan, the provider of prosperity, an Aditya. Its emblem is a drum, just as for Dhanishta. It is credited with thirty-two stars.
The exaltation of Shukra, at the twenty-seventh degree of Meena, therefore falls in this asterism, and the extremity of the sign forms a junction called riksha sandhi. Budha presides over its dasha, which lasts 17 years.
Your Moon in Revati
Revati closes the cycle of the nakshatras, and its name means "the abundant one"; the portrait of the Moon that stands there is generous too. You charm everyone, with a well-proportioned body. You have courage in the face of hardship. Above all, you do not desire what belongs to someone else.
Looking at your neighbors' house without losing any of your serenity is rarer than you might imagine. Your Moon stood in Meena, from 16°40′ to 30°. Your life opened in a Budha dasha, and this portrait holds fully if the Moon is strong.
Its ruler is Budha: life begins in the Budha dasha. It sits in Pisces sidereal.
