The nourishing journey. Pūṣan’s star of safe passage, kindness and completion — gentle, protective, artistic, guiding others home; the final star, whole and giving.

## 01What Revati shapes

Every nakṣatra colours the mind (the Moon) with its deity’s signature. Under **Pūṣan** and the discipline of **Mercury**, Revati leans toward the qualities above: strongest where the Moon is well-placed and dignified, strained where it is afflicted. The *fish / drum* is the key image to hold: it is what this star is always, quietly, doing.

None of this is a verdict. It is the classical *tendency* of a birth star — a lens, read against the whole chart.

## 02Compatibility signature

For kundli matching (Guṇa Milan), Revati carries the **Deva** gaṇa (temperament), **Antya** nāḍī (constitution) and the **Elephant** yoni (instinctive nature). Classically, partners are matched for gaṇa harmony and, most importantly, *different* nāḍī — same-nāḍī pairings score zero on that koota and are traditionally avoided.

## 03Common questions

Which planet rules Revati nakṣatra?
Revati is ruled by **Mercury** in the Vimśottarī system — so a Revati-born Moon begins life in the Mercury mahādaśā. Its presiding deity is Pūṣan.

What is the gaṇa and nāḍī of Revati?
Revati is **Deva** gaṇa, **Antya** nāḍī, with the **Elephant** yoni. These three decide much of kundli-matching (Guṇa Milan) — same nāḍī between partners is classically avoided.

What are Revati natives like?
The nourishing journey. Pūṣan’s star of safe passage, kindness and completion — gentle, protective, artistic, guiding others home; the final star, whole and giving. Exact expression depends on the pada, the Moon’s dignity, and the whole chart — a computed reading resolves it.

How do I find my nakṣatra?
Your birth Moon’s exact position sets your nakṣatra and pada. Karma Jyotiṣa computes it free from your birth date, time and place.
