Swati nakshatra

Libra 6°40′–20°00′ (sidereal) · lord Rahu · deity Vayu · symbol: young shoot in wind

Independence learned by bending. Swati scatters and adapts; strength that looks like fragility.

In the vimshottari system

Swati's planetary lord is Rahu, so a person born with the Moon here starts life in a Rahu mahadasha — see Rahu mahadasha for what that period carries. The Moon's exact degree within Swati sets how much of that first period remains at birth; the dasha calculator works it out from your birth details.
