Sanskrit Name:  स्वाति (Swati) comes from the Sanskrit words सु (very good) and आति (goer). One meaning of Swati is a “great mover,” indicating movement, independence, and an idealistic nature.

Planetary Ruler:  Rahu. The planet Rahu is equated with the North node of the moon and is described in the Vedas as the disembodied head of the demon Rahu. Vedic lore describes that eclipses occur when the sun or moon is swallowed by the head of Rahu. Rahu is associated with trouble, disease, and radical change.

Nakshatra Group:  Godly. Nakshatras are divided into three classes — monsters, humans, and gods. Swati is a godly nakshatra. People in this group are generally good-natured and fortunate in life. However, they may struggle with pride and a sense of entitlement.

Zodiac Sign:  Libra. Libra natives possess excellent taste and good judgement. They are friendly, learned, and dignified, but may be prone to arrogance.

Deity:  Vayu. The ruler of the air and wind, Vayu is also intrinsically connected with the life force, or prana, through the breath. He is respected as a powerful god who can blow away hindrances and contaminations like the wind he controls.
