"The Wind desired, "May I win the freedom to move as I wish in all the worlds." One who makes the appropriate offering to the Wind, to Swati, gains the freedom to move as he wishes in all the worlds.
The Wind, Vayu, has free movement in all the worlds. Those born in Vayu’s Nakshatra of Swati have a similar desire. They don’t like to be held or tied down. They like to travel where they want and when they want."
~~ David Frawley, Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra
Swati, for females:
"This woman has a truthful honest straightforward character. She can be identified by her speech and by her manner of walking. Her gait and speech are rather heavy and ponderous, at least deliberate and purposeful.
She has a very friendly disposition and is popular with her own sex. She will marry into a large family and she will be very devoted to her husband."
~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 97.
Swati in lagna [Katharine Hepburn, Martha Stewart]

He is very religious somewhat orthodox and his environment permitting will attend church regularly or at any rate participate in some religious activity. Many priests or ministers are found to have Swati on the Rising Point."
~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 84.
