The Nakshatras

Swati

Nakshatra 15 · ruled by Rahu · Vayu

The fifteenth mansion, a young shoot bending in the wind-god Vayu's breath — self-reliance.

Swati is the independent spirit that grows by moving freely: flexible, self-directed, and hard to pin down. It thrives on autonomy, and its work is to bend with others without uprooting itself.
