Revati Nakshatra

Nature & traits of Revati
Revati people are gentle, kind and nurturing, with a deep wish to protect and guide others. There is a soft, compassionate quality here — a love of animals, children and the vulnerable, and a talent for helping others find their way. Mercury gives intelligence and communication, while Pushan grants protection, nourishment and the role of guide. Strengths include kindness, creativity, spiritual depth, hospitality and a gift for caring for and guiding others to safety. The growth area is boundaries and self-care: the same softness can lead to over-giving, sensitivity to hurt, or losing itself in others. Learning to protect itself as it protects others completes its nurturing wisdom.
