Revati is the last nakshatra, closing Pisces and the whole sidereal zodiac. Its deity Pushan guides travellers safely along the road, finds lost animals and leads souls on their final journey. Revati is about safe passage, completion and gentle care.

The Moon in Revati gives kindness, imagination and a protective instinct toward the vulnerable, including animals. These people are often artistic, intuitive and sociable, and they make good guides, carers, teachers and hosts.

Mercury as lord adds intelligence and a way with words. Revati’s lesson is to protect its own sensitivity: the one who guides everyone else home also needs a safe harbour.
