SWATI NAKSHATRA (LORD – RAHU) – 060 40′ – 200 20′ LIBRA

स्वाती नक्षत्र वेद मंत्र :

ॐ वायरन्नरदि बुध: सुमेध श्वेत सिशिक्तिनो

युतामभि श्री तं वायवे सुमनसा वितस्थुर्विश्वेनर:

स्वपत्थ्या निचक्रु: । ॐ वायव नम: ।

Vayu is a swift god of wind, who is constant movement. Penetrating through everything, he constantly changes his form. He speeds up all things, spreads his influence in all directions and scatters everything to make space for something new, so progress can happen. Vayu is also addressed in the Vedas as “the giver of stormy inspiration and motivation”. Such is also the nature of Swati nakshatra. It inspires our mind to move forward and discover new horizons. Dwelling at the heart of airy Libra, original seventh house, Swati nakshatra also supports us in all types of energy exchange, like trade, negotiations and mediations.

Yet, exaggerated energy of air element, can sometimes also make us overly distracted and multitasking, doing ten things at the same time. Swati nakshatra and Vayu himself represent this unrestrained, impulsive creativity and spark of inspiration. This is why the consort of Vayu is known as Bharati or Saraswati, the Goddess of knowledge, creative arts and inspiration. We must remember, though, that creativity, if unrestrained, can also lead to lack of accomplishment. When Moon dwells in Swati nakshatra it can easily make our attention too scattered around and therefore incapable to truly complete any task.
