~~ Cologne Digital Sanskrit Dictionary

 

"Pusha desired, "May I become the lord of the animals." One who makes the appropriate offering to Pusha, to Revati, becomes lord of the animals.

Revati gives lordship over domestic cattle, richness of harvest and fertile fields. Those born under this Nakshatra like the good things of life but as are in harmony with nature."

~~ David Frawley, Fruits of Worshipping Each Nakshatra


 

Revati, for females:


"... defect in hearing. The native is a person of clean morals and is popular with her own sex. She is fond of pets and animals. She is a very good housekeeper and likes interior decoration and design. 

Her face is laughing, always with dimples, and she usually has black or dark brown eyes with curly hair."


~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 101. 



 

Revati, for males: 


"... often distinguished by a birthmark on the thigh. They usually have well formed and beautiful physiques although not necessarily large or robust 

They are fond of their family and friends and very sociable and hospitable. They may not be born to wealth but they have the ability to accumulate the good things of life through their own efforts and usually will. They will know how to enjoy wisely and well the fruits of their endeavors. 

These people are wise and intelligent and make excellent counselors to those who are in trouble or are in a dilemma over some problem of life."


~~ Shil-Ponde. (1939). Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra. p 89



General Description of Revati characteristics 

-- from Das/ Behari

General

You will have a very good physique, a moderately tall & symmetrical body with a fair complexion. You are very clean in your heart, sincere in dealings and soft-spoken. You have a knack of dealings with others as per the occasion warrants. 

You do not give much heed to others unnecessarily. Since you have a completely independent life you are easily hurt when resistance arises. 

You cannot keep anything secret for long. You will not blindly believe even your loved ones. But once you take somebody into confidence, it is not easy for you to keep away from them out of attachment. You are very hot-tempered. Come what may, acting according to your inner calling is your principle. 

You try to observe the principle which you feel is correct & resist tooth & nail till the end for achieving or following that principle. You draw premature conclusions on any matter. You are god fearing, superstitious, religious & rigid in the observance of orthodox culture & principles. 


You are stubborn & ambitious. Even a slightest failure of ideas or plan will give you maximum torture. Out of all the 27 Nakshatra born persons, Revati born persons are the most god fearing & are religiously much inclined. Hence they also enjoy the maximum blessings. You will be interested in scientific solutions, historical research & ancient cultures. You will be known publicly for merits in any one of the three fields mentioned above. Ancient cultures include astrology & astronomy also. 

You can be a good physician, astrologer or poet. If you are employed in a government organization you can be the most successful person. Revati born are mostly settled in foreign countries. When I say foreign countries, it includes a quite reasonable distance from one's own birth place. 

You will come up in life through your own efforts. Your intelligence & ability are the inherent quality at birth. You cannot stick to any particular field of work or job for long. 


You cannot expect to gain much compared to the ratio between work & reward till your 50th year. Between 23 & 26 years will be a good period whereas between 27 to 42 years of age will mark a lot of problems both financially, mentally & socially. It is only after your 50th year you can think of a worriless & stable life. 

You cannot have any help from relatives or father. In other words, you are unlucky to enjoy the benefits from near & dear ones. However, your married life will be moderately good. Your spouse will be quite an adjusting type. You are prone to fever, dysentery or dental diseases, intestinal ulcers & ear problem.
