- Elephants have tusks, which are their teeth, Revati people will have quite long teeth and usually some issues with the teeth, which is karma due to what has been happening with elephants in nature for thousands of years as people are hurting them for their tusks.
- This translates into Revati people even having a botched job with a dentist at one point in life where they would undergo several procedures to get their teeth correct.
- The symbolism of this nakshatra is the drum and two fishes, which is also related to the entire zodiac sign of Pisces.
- Let’s understand why the symbol of drums? The reason being this nakshatra deity is Pushan, the lord of wild animals, and Shiva himself is the lord of wild animals.
- Revati is connected with the sound of Shiva in terms of music, which is the Damru.
- Revati individuals being involved in music, dance or poetry; but there is one thing about Damru, the drum, which was used when major news announcements were made in a village or the arrival of an important individual.
- Revati people will always sound the alarm for cruelty against animals in social media, mainstream media or in personal groups.
- They are extremely against any harm that is done to animals, kind of like Radagast The Brown in Lord of the Rings, who was connected with nature and wildlife.
- If you only read what Lord of the Rings book had to offer on one of 5 wizards you will see a lot of similarities with him and Revati.
- The fish represents the duality and confusion within the Revati individual.

- Fish is also the oldest creature known to man, they have been here for over 500 million years which also shows the depth and age of the Revati soul.
- When the soul has been through countless cycles of this world it’s only interest and path is to find the true nature and it’s spirit.
- The deity of the Revati nakshatra is Pushan, one of the 12 Adityas and is the protector of flocks, herds and of safe travels.
