Swati Nakshatra: characteristics, careers and personality

Swati is the fifteenth Nakshatra occupying 6 degrees 40 minutes to 20 degrees Libra. It is ruled by Rahu. Here's what it means for you.

Lord Vayu and Swati

He is the God of the wind and the swiftest of all the Gods. He’s the light of the atmosphere. He transports the gifts of the heavens to Earth and is known to purify our minds and ward off enemies. He’s invoked for protection, strength, wealth, and long life amongst many things. Lord Vayu wished for freedom of travel and therefore he’s known as Satataga, the one who is always on the move.

Swati personality and characteristics

The native would not have a fixed home and could work in a travel-based profession, such as that of an airline pilot. The native would be an expert in getting from point A to B in the shortest possible time and taking the most direct path. A young plant blowing with the wind is the main symbol of the nakshatra, which indicates a lack of strong roots (young plant). It also indicates the native’s ability to adapt to any situation and move along with people from all walks of life. The native could help people cope with dramatic changes in life. The native would be fond of living in remote areas and being in one’s own company. The desire to remain on the move would also operate on a mental plane. The native would be highly imaginative and always eager to learn. Researchers, innovators and business-intelligence analysts are seen from this Nakshatra. However, the native could be prone to mental burnout, leaving projects unfinished and impulsively moving on to new ones. Sun, a planet that represents steadiness, is debilitated in this nakshatra. Lord Vayu’s movement is accompanied by thunder, which symbolizes the power of Lord Vayu. Lord Bhima (from Mahabharata) and Lord Hanuman (from Ramayana) are divine incarnations of Lord Vayu. A flag is another symbol of this nakshatra, which indicates freedom, power, and independence.
