The essence of Swati is independence. Vayu, God of the wind also known as “the Wanderer”, presides over this nakshatra. This energy helps us to be free, sensitive and flexible. Swati will make us entirely unique, able to adapt to any situation. It thrives on change and freedom. Instead of holding on, it delights in going where the wind blows. Under the influence of Swati we will be able to think outside the box and come up with creative solutions that may baffle others.

This is an excellent energy to help us let go of people in our lives that restrict our freedom. Swati is curious and full of desire for travel and new experiences rather than making a firm decision and stick to it, it will help us to go with the flow in every moment and hope for the best. We will collect skills, wisdom, friends, and goods along the way and happily give all of it away again as we see fit.

“Be here now” is Swati’s motto.

Swati can be seen in the sky as the star Arcturus.
