Nakshatra 27 of 27
Revati Nakshatra
The final star — the nourishing shepherd, guiding all souls safely to their journey’s end.
Revati Nakshatra meaning & nature
Revati is ruled by Mercury and presided over by Pushan, the shepherd god who protects travellers and guides souls safely home. As the 27th and final Nakshatra, Revati carries the themes of completion, nourishment, safe passage and gentle care. Its natives are kind, compassionate, nurturing and protective, with a gift for guiding, caring for and safeguarding others.
Mercury’s intellect softened by Pisces’ compassion gives Revati a gentle, wise, giving nature and a love of the journey. At its best it is caring, protective and spiritually complete; at its shadow it can be over-giving, naïve or prone to feeling used. Revati shepherds others safely home — sometimes at cost to itself.
