Moon Transit in Revati

Revati closes the zodiac at the end of Pisces, and its last degrees are gandanta, the knot before Ashwini. Mercury rules it, Pushan, the nourisher who guards travellers and herds, is its deity, and its symbol is a fish or a drum. The Moon counts Mercury a friend. Mercury does not return it, and Jupiter, lord of the sign, holds the Moon as a friend and settles the matter.

In muhurta Revati is mridu, soft, and Muhurta Chintamani gives such days to music, ornaments, new clothes, love, friendship and the fine arts. Travel is well protected, since Pushan is the god of safe roads, and a departure begun under Revati tends to end well. Marriage suits it, and harsh remedies and confrontation are kept for another day. The Moon stays about a day.

From the birth nakshatra, Revati is sampat for Pushya, Anuradha and Uttara Bhadrapada, and kshema for Ardra, Swati and Shatabhisha. Sadhana falls to Rohini, Hasta and Shravana. Bharani, Purva Phalguni and Purva Ashadha have mitra, and Ashwini, Magha and Mula have parama mitra.

Punarvasu, Vishakha and Purva Bhadrapada meet vipat. Mrigashira, Chitra and Dhanishta meet pratyak. Krittika, Uttara Phalguni and Uttara Ashadha meet naidhana. Ashlesha, Jyeshtha and Revati births have their janma tara.

Under this Moon a person sees how they end things, and whether a cycle can close without grasping at the next. Pushan feeds what is finishing, and the transit is kind to anyone willing to stop.

The fitting practice is to complete the month's accounts, forgive a debt, and feed animals. Offer rice to Shiva and sit with the Moon's japa as the nakshatra runs out.
