Revati nakshatra traits

The last nakshatra guides travellers home: gentle, nurturing, imaginative and kind to the vulnerable.

Dasha at birth

If your Moon is in Revati, your life begins in the Mercury dasha, a 17-year period; how much of it remains at birth depends on how far through Revati the Moon had travelled.

Revati in the Panchang

When the Moon passes through Revati, the day takes on a soft quality, traditionally good for friendship, love, art and anything to do with beauty. See today's nakshatra in the Panchang.
