(Pushakara Navamsa is a very potent degree in nakshatra
which makes a planet exert extremely powerful results. A
planet will lift a person high up in society during its
mahadasha and antar dasha.)

The animal of this nakshatra is a male buffalo. They are

part of a Bovidae family, which includes bison, caribou,
antelope and water buffalo. They have thick large horns,
which join in the middle of their head. Just like a bull they
too are extremely powerful and can weigh a ton. They love
being in water and this is especially true for water buffalo
found in India. Buffalo is also known as the ride of lord
Yama. Just like other family of Bovidae they eat only grass
and bushes and are mainly used in India to push carts and
farming activities. At one point in life Swati natives will
become either vegan or vegetarians, and due to the nature
of water buffalo they love taking long showers and to be
in bathtub. Swati natives like to live near an ocean or a
river because they need a body of water they can step in,
like a water buffalo.

The symbolism of Swati nakshatra is the blade of grass

being swayed by the wind or a sword. The symbolism
speaks poetry of 1000 words. Swati nakshatra people are
extremely independent. They want to travel, do things on
their own, and know how the world works. The blade of
grass is the Swati individual who moves in the direction of
the wind. They love travel, want to know everybody, and
like wind they want to take one piece of information and
spread to all direction. If you took a single paper and throw
it in high wind with a message you do not know where it
will go and land, kind of like a message in the bottle. They
cannot stick to one particular thought; they must move
they must ride the way of current time. The Swati person
is a bit ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) in nature, which
is why it makes theme excellent entrepreneurs. An
entrepreneur is to be at the right place at the right time and
execute the idea to get the maximum result, after which
you move to the next venture and do the same. The wind
blowing over United States will flow over India and
Russia; by this we can easily see that Swati native is a
worldly person. They want to experience the world, travel
the world and are obsessed with knowing what is
happening in the world. The wind touches all economies,
people, animals and mountains. The information that is in
a single molecule of oxygen is the same molecule inside a
Swati native. Wind is oxygen, oxygen is the vehicle of
prana and prana is what gives us the life force. Swati
natives are profoundly known as yogis or yoga experts.
They can easily master the techniques of breathing yoga
like Anulom vilom pranayama, Kapalbhaati, Kriya etc. As
wind is felt about 3 feet from the ground till all the way to
mountain peaks so the wind master Swati is obsessed with
reaching highest ground which makes them interested in
space, rockets, airplanes. Wind can also cause issues with
lungs due to too much kapha dosha, which a person can
fall victim to if Swati is influenced by malefics.

The other symbolism of this nakshatra is the blade or

sword. The caste of Swati nakshatra is the butcher. Swati
native naturally has a grasp of dealing with the blade like
fencing, sword fighting, cutting meat or having interest in
collecting sharp blades, which also translate into the nature
of Swati native. They will cut you in conversation, when
angry and frustrated. They can butcher a perfectly made
business plan if they are not careful.

The deity of this nakshatra is Vayu, the wind god, king of

celestial musicians. Vayu is life-giving breath that
nourishes us with the life force or prana. He is the father
of Bhima amongst the Pandavas, and the spiritual father of
Hanuman. Many qualities of Vayu can be seen through
Hanuman. When Hanuman was young, he thought Sun
was a big fruit, and jumped into the sky to eat it. The Sun
god felt intimidated by the little child coming up to him,
and asked Indra to bring the child down with his weapon.
Hanuman was struck on his jaw by Indra’s weapon known
as Vajra, the thunderbolt. Impressed by the child’s
resistance, devas blessed Hanuman with various powers.
The child Hanuman used his powers to play pranks upon
others. He ended up being cursed by rishis that he may
forget his gifts and powers. When he apologized for his
mistake rishis said his powers would come back to him if
reminded by someone else. Later when Hanuman was
searching for Sita, Lord Rama’s wife, Hanuman feels
dejected knowing that the only place left to search for Sita
was the Lanka, and that he had to jump across the ocean
to reach Lanka. Having lost his powers, he was reminded
of it by Jambavan, the bear headed being, about his
youthful exploits, and the subsequent curse. Hanuman
regains confidence, and ends up playing out multiple roles
of being a messenger to Sita, being a diplomat to
Vibhishana, and a soldier against Ravan. Hanuman is also
supposed to have lifted the entire mountain named
Dronagiri and brought it to the battlefield of Lanka for
Lakshman, who was poisoned by a weapon. Hanuman’s
story can play out through Swati nakshatra.

From the mythology we can see that just like the child
Hanuman, Swati native want to achieve the impossible,
they want to reach the top, they have no fear of where they
are going, whom they are going to meet or what they are
climbing, once they see their object of fasciation they go
for it; for this is why Swati native love climbing
mountains, hiking to the highest trail. They also love
collecting shoes, buying shoes and if a shoe breaks for
them major karma gets released or plays out in their life.
Why are shoes connected with Swati? If you look at the
yogatara star of Swati, which is Arcturus, it is at the leg
region of the virgin lady of the Virgo zodiac sign. The
yogatara of Swati is at the zero degree of Libra. This is
why Chitra and Swati natives in Libra zodiac sign will
share the same traits.

We also see Swati individuals love playing musical air

instruments like flute and piano. A Swati person always
needs a mentor or a manager, who helps them in their
journey to become successful as they keep forgetting they
have the ability to conquer the world. They should have a
vision board to remind themselves what they can and must
achieve. The most obvious power of Hanuman is his body,
strength, and flying ability. When you observe a Chitra or
Swati individual between 0--7 degrees of Libra you will
see they have great obsession of flying, body building, and
sculpting their body. Such people also become obsessed
with Superman. But when Swati person is trying to reach
the top of their career they will face a big fight with an
enemy who will try to bring them down at all cost, just like
how Indra tried to use his weapon on young Hanuman.

I am using the chart below by using Prashna to locate the

ascendant, and it clearly makes sense for him.

Phil Knight (Nike Founder)

His Dharma lord is Saturn as per this chart, Saturn is in the
Swati nakshatra in the Navamsha Chart, and even if my
time of birth is wrong, Saturn the Karma lord is placed in
the nakshatra of shoes.

Quality

Swati is chara Nakshatra, which means when something

requires movement, this nakshatra would work best like
moving from one house to the other, purchasing land,
sending something out for delivery, shifting office,
arranging furniture in your home or buying new furniture.

Caste

This caste for Swati nakshatra is butcher. They are the

outcaste, unorthodox individuals whose viewpoints and
ideas are above anyone’s head. When they get into a
conversation, they will butcher it. When they start some
work, they will butcher it at the beginning. Butcher’s job
is to cut the meat and hence, these folks love to cut people
off in conversations. An editor or a director takes many
cuts in making a movie and directs attention from one
thing to another and so represents energies of Swati
nashatra. This is a windy nakshatra and too much wind
within the mind and brain can bring ADD, ADHD and
Dyslexia; but these are sometimes blessings from God
because in order to be an entrepreneur one must keep
searching and stalking ideas. They never are satisficed
with one type of work. They want to be like Goddess
Durga with 10 hands, each one doing something
completely different.

Sound

Roo- pada 1, Ray- pada 2, Row- pada 3, Taa- pada 4,

sound has an extremely important role to play with
nakshatra. Everything we do, say, buy, wear, drive has a
name attach to it known as brand. One must look at their
chart with accurate time of birth and see where the
nakshatra of Swati is in their chart, which means where is
the sign of Libra. If someone is with a Capricorn ascendant
then the 10th house would be Libra; when using such
brands or name that starts with such sounds would be
beneficial for career, status, fame, and favors from
government.

Remedies 
The remedy for this nakshatra is to always keep wind
chimes in South or Southwest direction of home. One can
buy new shoes every year based on the color of the planet
sitting in this nakshatra by looking at Varshaphala (yearly
vedic chart), if Saturn transits the 6th house of the yearly
chart, then do not buy shoes because that will either effect
one’s career or health. If Rahu is in the 11th house of the
chart and Swati is your 2nd house of wealth with Venus
sitting in it, then buying white shoes every year or every 6
months will be very good for wealth, luxury and
relationships. 
Observation
On December 18th, 1995 Hubble Telescope started taking
the “Deep Field” image of the Universe for 10 consecutive
days to capture the faintest and farthest object as much as
it can. During this day Moon was transiting the nakshatra
of Swati, the space, and going to far away remote areas.
Interestingly Arcturus, the yogatara of Swati nakshatra
also lies far away north from the ecliptic.
On December 22nd, 2019 when Moon was transiting Swati
we saw a film called “Tall Grass” on Netflix, which was
about these haunted tall grasslands with lots of wind, a
perfect theme of Swati nakshatra playing out.
On January 18th, 2020 I suddenly had idea to open a
“Astro-Astronomical Society” in TX with Togi Aditya,
not only Swati is controlled by Rahu but it shows
entrepreneurial ideas coming in the mind to open some
type of organization. Anything requiring swift movement,
announcing, spreading should be done on this day.
Releasing advertisements for your new business, starting
a PR campaign etc. I released the movie trailer of my
movie “Meeting Ketu” on Swati day and received 100K
views in less than a month.

Most people get video suggestions from Djvlad on

Youtube for some reason, and today’s video was just
over the top, the title read “Benny the Butcher Asks Vlad
Why He Talks to Rappers About Illegal Activities” Swati
= Butcher, Rahu = illegal activities.
If you watch this video which I was purposely watching
since I love Sri M, “Sri M - Day 3 - Satsang 1 - Retreat
at Villa Unspunnen Switzerland 2018”, at 6 minute point
in the video he says the 15th chapter of Gita 3 times. This
struck me and I wanted to see why he had to say this so
many times, and 15th nakshatra is Swati. Swati represents
3-pointed leaf. Swati individual always have to deal with
3 projects, 3 businesses, 3 aspects of every area in their
life.

On December 21st, 2019 I suddenly came across a video

about restoring shoes and a shoeshine person as Moon was
transiting Swati.
On February 13th, 2020, when Moon was in Swati
nakshatra I watched the movie Passengers. It’s about over
5,000 people going from Earth to a new planet called
Homestead 2. The entire aerospace and Rahu theme
played out while opposite nakshatra was Ashwini; high
altitude objects.
On April 8th, 2020 at around 9 pm in the evening while
Moon was around 8 degrees of Swati Nakshatra I watched
a very interesting and good movie called “Specter” on
NETFLIX, which was about these ghosts like energies that
was attacking the military in a foreign country. They were
undefeated by bullets, bombs etc and flew like the wind.
You must see the movie to understand the perfect theme
of Swati. They displayed lot of high altitude objects like
helicopter and planes in the movie and note the opposite
nakshatra to Swati is Ashwini.

The reason why other research dates is not here because I

saw similar redundant themes occur on other moon days.
