Able to misguide oneself

Revati Nakshatra

Revati is ruled by Lord Pushan, whose main responsibility is to guide us after we have departed our bodies. He escorts us on our next journey, whether we return to this creation in a different role or move towards salvation. He ensures that the soul's journey to its next chapter is smooth, linking the entire navigation sector to Revati.

Lord Pushan is known to understand the different paths leading to different futures and guides souls accordingly. While we are alive, he continues guiding us so that our journey progresses and we transcend spiritually, moving away from materialism and the sensual side of life.

A quotation from the Bhagavad Gita roughly says that the senses naturally become attached to sensual objects. We like and dislike these objects, but the warning is not to become attached to sensual pleasures, because they can defeat the soul's purpose and make us believe that life is only about material enjoyment. I believe this wisdom comes from Lord Pushan.

He guides us through life experience or appears in our lives in the form of a teacher. Teachers, mentors, guides, educators and trainers who help us see the right path are therefore linked to Revati, as are religious and spiritual leaders. Lord Pushan guides us not only spiritually but also towards righteousness and truthfulness, while ensuring that the journey is safe.

Rahu in Revati

When Rahu is in Revati, I think the native would make an unconventional educator. The person might explain something in a unique way, or the subject itself may be unusual. For example, the native might explain stock-market trends through astrology or international politics, or teach an uncommon ancient science. The native would make an excellent businessperson.

In my view, Rahu and Mercury together can signify a clever and intelligent businessperson. The native may express opinions quickly, and an unconventional style or uncommon knowledge may attract a following. The person may then encourage others to follow the same path.

The native could, for example, know a foreign language. A resident of Italy might speak Japanese and inspire others to learn about Japanese culture and language. People may wonder why this person speaks a language rarely heard in the region or knows an ancient science they have never encountered.

The native would be spiritually inclined and a philosophical thinker, but could be deluded into believing that they are following the right path. Introspection and proper guidance would be crucial. With time, the native might realise, ‘What I thought was the right path was actually the wrong one.’

The native may misguide both themselves and others, which is a recurring Rahu theme. They may love travel, receive many opportunities for it and work in technology-linked transportation. Overall, I think the person may be treated as an outcast because of their knowledge or opinions and may have to fight delusion. That is my view.
