Characteristics and Features
Swati Nakshatra natives possess a sweet and soft-spoken nature. They are compassionate and charitable and quite controlled in their passions and desires. Meaning ‘the priest’ or ‘sword’, the symbol for this Nakshatra is coral which denotes strong intuitive and psychic properties, or a young sprout trembling in the wind. The ruling planet for this star is Rahu and the presiding deity, Vayu, the demigod of wind, air, breath and prana. Swati people can ‘bend with the wind’ or be flexible enough to withstand the forces of change. The animal symbol is the male buffalo. It is located in the air sign, Libra.
