Swati is the 15th nakshatra, spanning 6°40' – 20°00' Libra. Its symbol is the young shoot in wind, its presiding deity Vayu, and its Vimshottari lord Rahu. Independent as the wind: flexibility, diplomacy, and self-made success.
People born with the Moon in Swati begin life in a Rahu mahadasha, which colours the opening chapter of their story. The gana is Deva, which matters in traditional match-making.
Is your Moon in Swati?
Your janma nakshatra is fixed by the Moon's exact position at your birth minute — a birth time even 20 minutes off can shift the pada. JYTS.H computes it from Swiss Ephemeris data and reads your full chart, dasha timeline, and daily sky against it.
