Revati (रेवती) is the 27th of the 27 nakshatras, spanning 346°40' to 360°00' of the nirayana zodiac. It is ruled by Mercury, its deity is Pushan, the nourisher and guide and its symbol is a fish; a drum. Revati nakshatra lies entirely in Meen rashi (Pisces), so every Moon in Revati is a Meen Moon. Children born with the Moon here are traditionally named with the syllables De, Do, Cha, Chi.
Revati closes the zodiac. Pushan, who guides travellers and protects herds, is its deity, and Budh rules it. It is the nakshatra of safe journeys and of endings that arrive well: gentle, well-liked, and read as looking after others by instinct.
Tradition sums Revati up as “safe arrival”. A person whose Moon is here begins life in the Mercury mahadasha, and the nakshatra's Deva gana is read as the gentle, giving temperament the texts call divine. Its symbol, a fish; a drum, and its deity, Pushan, the nourisher and guide, are the images the texts use to describe it. Read these as the nakshatra's character rather than a portrait of a person: the rest of the chart, the Moon's strength and the running dasha shape how it shows.
Each nakshatra is split into four padas of 3°20'. The pada a birth falls in decides the navamsa and, in the naming tradition, the first syllable of the child's name. For Revati those syllables are De, Do, Cha, Chi.
The baby name letters calculator marks the syllable for a chosen pada, and the rashi by name calculator works the other way, from a name to its rashi.
Guna Milan reads three of this nakshatra's classifications directly. Its gana is Deva, compared with the partner's for temperament. Its nadi is Antya (kapha): partners who share a nadi score zero on the largest koota, worth 8 of the 36 points. Its yoni animal is the elephant, compared for instinctive compatibility. The South Indian nakshatra porutham reads the two birth stars in its own ten tests, and kundli milan gives the full 36-point match.
Only if the Moon was in Revati when you were born. The Moon crosses a nakshatra in about a day, so a birth date narrows it to two candidates at best and the birth time settles it. Revati nakshatra lies entirely in Meen rashi (Pisces), so every Moon in Revati is a Meen Moon. Find your birth nakshatra, check your Moon sign, or make the full kundli.
Short answers about Revati: its lord, rashi, name letters, symbol and gana.
Your own birth star takes a date, a time and a place.
Find my nakshatraMercury is the lord of Revati nakshatra. The nakshatra lord decides which Vimshottari mahadasha a person is born into, so someone with the Moon in Revati begins life in the Mercury mahadasha. How far the Moon had already travelled through the nakshatra sets how much of that first period is left.
Revati nakshatra lies entirely in Meen rashi (Pisces), so every Moon in Revati is a Meen Moon. A nakshatra is 13°20' wide and a rashi 30°, so most nakshatras cross a sign boundary and the pada decides which Moon sign applies. The pada is fixed by the birth time, which is why two people with the same nakshatra can have different rashis.
The name letters for Revati nakshatra are De, Do, Cha and Chi, one for each pada in order. Traditional namkaran gives the child a name beginning with the syllable of the pada the Moon occupied at birth, so the pada is needed as well as the nakshatra.
The symbol of Revati nakshatra is a fish; a drum and its presiding deity is Pushan, the nourisher and guide. Tradition sums the nakshatra up as "safe arrival", and the symbol and deity are the starting point for reading its nature. Its yoni animal, the elephant, is a separate classification used in marriage matching.
Revati is Deva gana and Antya (kapha) nadi, and its yoni animal is the elephant. All three are used in Guna Milan, the 36-point marriage match. Nadi carries the most weight at 8 points, and partners who share a nadi score zero on it; gana carries 6 points and yoni 4.
