Revatiरेवती

Revati is the twenty-seventh and final Nakshatra (16°40'–30° Meena), symbolized by a fish or a pair of drums and ruled by Pushan, the nourisher-god who guides travelers safely to their destination. Its Yoni (compatibility animal) is Elephant, its Gana is Deva, and its Nadi is Antya (Kapha).

In practice

Revati appears on all four of this app's "good" Muhurat Search activity lists — vehicle purchase, property purchase, Griha Pravesh (housewarming), and new job — one of only three Nakshatras (with Mrigashira and Anuradha) that clear every activity this app currently scores, fitting for the Nakshatra classically associated with safe completion of a journey.

How it's calculated

Revati's Visha Ghati begins at the 30th ghati (of 60) — roughly the midpoint of the Nakshatra's span, and as the final Nakshatra in the 27-cycle, its end marks the point where the sequence restarts at Ashwini.

Ruling deity and general temperament are drawn from classical Vedic astrology texts — sources broadly agree on Revati's association with nourishment, protection during travel, and gentle completion (via Pushan), fitting its position as the final Nakshatra before the cycle restarts, though secondary attributes vary in emphasis across texts.
Ruling deity and symbol

Revati is ruled by Pushan, the nourisher god who protects travelers and guides them safely to their destination. Its symbol is a fish (or a pair of drums, in some traditions), representing safe passage through unfamiliar waters. Its ruling planet (Nakshatra lord, used in Vimshottari Dasha sequencing) is Mercury.

General temperament

Classical texts associate Revati with nourishment, gentleness, and a protective, guiding nature — people with a strong Revati influence are traditionally described as compassionate, nurturing, and skilled at helping others complete a difficult journey or transition safely.

Naming syllables (Muhurta Chintamani)

Per the traditional naming-syllable table this app uses for the Baby Names feature, a child born under Revati's four Padas is traditionally named starting with "De", "Do", "Cha", or "Chi" respectively.
