⚡ Swati at a Glance
🌟 Meaning & Mythology
'Swati' means sword. The sword can be used for both negative and positive purposes. Swati carries the sword as a tool for self-advancement, cutting through competition and obstacles in their path. Swati is also the name of one of the Sun's wives — in Swati, the Sun forgets its spiritual purpose and becomes entwined in the pleasures and pains of relationships.
The second nakshatra ruled by Rahu, Swati is placed in Libra — ruled by Venus — with the rest in Scorpio, ruled by Mars. Under Swati, the impulse is all about material gain. Combined with Rahu, this adds further to the desire for success, wealth and finance. Many millionaires are born in Swati — Bill Gates being one of the most famous.
🌬️ The Symbol: Coral & The Sword
Swati's symbol is coral, which has a hard outer sheath and is self-propagating. It both affects and is affected by the marine environment it lives in. This symbolizes the human being: they live in the world that influences their life, but in turn, they make an impact on the world around them.
🙏 Ruling Deity: Vayu
The ruling deity, Vayu (atmosphere), rules the material world along with Agni (Fire) and Surya (the Sun). Vayu controls the intellect and is the Prana — the breath or the life force within human beings that connects them to the eternal energy. Pranayama — the control of Prana — forms the basis of yoga. When an individual learns to harness the life force, they are able to control their lives.

🌿 Ayurvedic Perspective
Dosha: Kapha
Swati's Kapha nature makes them calm and philosophical. They remain calm whatever the crisis — making them good industrialists and business people. Their inner purity (Sattwa) is at odds with the materialistic way they live their life, creating a cycle of fulfillment and dissatisfaction.

💕 Relationships
Marriage and committed relationships are an important part of Swati's agenda. They will search for an ideal partner but can take their idealism too far — the perfection they demand may not be realistic. Swati can be extremely sensuous and earthy, but may keep this side of their nature concealed. Sex usually takes a back seat to other ambitions.
