Now let us do the 15th nakshatra of Swati, which
is in the heart of Libra. The individualistic
Swati means the Self. It's a vayu rolled nakshatra,
therefore there's lots of movement in it, lots
of energy movement, lots of communication, lots
of interaction with other people. They are brilliant
people intellectually. What is the general energy
of people here? These are people who are in customer
service, entrepreneurship, know how to get things
done without illegality. Planet here creates
rebels. Swati is individualistic who believe
that the law is fluid depending upon the situation.
So you kind of selectively apply the law. Remember
this is a Rahu rule nakshatra. The second one
after Ardhra. Ardhra was rebellious to the max.
Swati also creates, any Rahu Rulnakshatra creates
rebels, the last one being Shatbesha, which we
will address later. Helps connect with different
people easily at work with their thoughts, energy
and passion. And with ease and swiftness, there's
the key right there. Thoughts, energy and passion
from Libra, ease and swiftness from Rahu and
being Vaayu. Ascendant here has to take care
of everyone and help everyone create an environment
where all team members work together for the
common goal, for success. So this is good energy
of Libra in terms of diplomacy, in terms of working
with people, big teams. Rahu is everything big.
So Rahu rules Nakshatra. Now let's see the Nakshatra
Padaas. The first one is Libra going into Sagittarius
Navamsa. So right there, there's a lot of knowledge,
a lot of knowledge and ego in Sagittarius Navamsa.
They know what to do in all situations. They
have excessive passion, will get involved in
multiple relationships because it is going into
Libra Navamsa. It's almost like you're using
knowledge and your status to get into relationships.
See, Navamsa going into Natal. maybe with educated
wise person these people will be drawn into affairs
with having affairs with opposite sex but who
are educated and wise not ignoramuses interested
in commissions from business or illegal favors
Sagittarius is third from Libra this is 11 -3
dynamic playing out here in the first pata of
Swati. The second Pada Swati has Libra natal
going into Capricon. So there's a 4 -10 relationship
there. Four houses from Libra is Capricon. 10th
house from Capricon is Libra. So there's a Karma
and Masses playing here. Pada 2. Repeated habits
and desires. Repeated mistakes for long periods.
Why repeated? Because Capricon is there here.
Capricon is extended time. Any planet going into
Capricorn, Navamsha will have a long term attitude
towards it. Success through efforts, not quick
success. So they are deeply involved in profession
in an emotional manner, forth from Libra therefore.
Why are they emotionally involved in profession?
Capricorn is forth to Libra. Libra feels at home
in Capricorn. That's why. Learn the dynamics
of the numerology which I have explained in other
podcasts in the Navamsa playlist. Neglect of
responsibilities of family, home, community.
Fourth from Libra. You're neglecting the spouse
aspect. And not bear the responsibility. Capricorn
dries things up. There's the clue there. Let's
see the fourth Pada now. 4th Buddha is Libra
going into Aquarius, so there is a 9 -5 relationship
there, from the 7th house to the 11th house so
to speak. Chasing easy goals, luxury and comfort,
Libra is lazy, Aries is the one which is active
opposite to it. Everywhere you will find this
rhythm in zodiac signs. The opposite signs have
opposite quantities. Gemini is non -stop blabbering.
Sagittarius is muted and very quiet. You see,
you can find these kinds of trends everywhere.
Apply that to the principle when moving from
Nital to Navamsa, even in Nakshatrapada. There's
a clue for you. Chasing easy goals and comfort.
Why this is Libra to Aquarius? Not working hard
when necessary, rather working for it. Donate
some portion of your stored wealth. Aquarius
stores a lot of wealth. Libra to Aquarius both
are wealthy signs but Aquarius wants to make
quick buck. Help other people who do not have
enough resources in their life. This is the dharma
of this pada. Cancer 6 to Aquarius indicates
service to the masses and security to the people
who are facing troubles in life due to sickness,
enemies and deaths. That's the basics of Swati
Nakshatra. Last is the fourth Pada, Libra, going
into Pisces. What about these people? Rely on
faith, belief and devotion, Pisces, to solve
real life problems rather than working for it.
They go all on faith. I'll leave it to God. I'll
leave it to faith to take care of me. You can't
do that with everything. Belief and faith is
a reliance for them. for solving all their life
problems in a sort of miraculous way. Due to
this attitude, they lack resources and money
due to which family will suffer. They may get
into debts and unpayable loans. Pisces is sixth
from Libra. This is a 6 -8 relationship between
wealth and loss thereof. Okay, you gotta take
care of this. Don't rely too much on just faith,
faith, faith all the time. You have got to do
something yourself. That's what you have come
here for. Alright, that's the four Pada's general
introduction. Now let's get into the details
of it. If you find something in Swati, Planet
or Point from Neel to Navamsa in these Pada's
and how it's playing out, leave a comment. We
can address it. Or if you want a reading, get
in touch with me. Now let's dive deeper into
the planetary positions. Enjoy and share. planetary
principles and the inner -outer karma blueprint
of independence, distraction, and energetic alignment.
Introduction. Swati, the wandering wind and the
soul's quest for balance. Swati Nakshatra spans
from 640 to 230s in Libra and is ruled by Rahu,
the north node of the moon. Its symbol is a young
sprout swaying in the wind, flexible, yet susceptible
to external currents. Associated with Va 'u,
the god of air, Swati represents movement, independence,
and the inner search for freedom. While Libra
provides outer charm and diplomacy, Swati's rahu
essence introduces restlessness, scattered desires,
and karmic misalignment. Natives born under Swati
often appear composed but wrestle with internal
instability, chasing knowledge, wealth, or pleasure,
sometimes without purpose or grounding. Each
pada of Swati transitions through a different
Navamsa, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, and
Pisces, shifting the inner impulse from philosophical
arrogance to faith -based avoidance. These shifts
illustrate how the wind of swati either brings
cleansing freedom or chaotic imbalance. Let's
explore how each pada shapes the karmic fabric
of this nakshatra. Swati Pada 1, Libra 60°40
'10, Navamsa sign, Sagittarius, Dharmapada elemental
shift, air to fire, motivation, Dharma, to act
from knowledge and purpose, but prone to ego.
Inner -outer karma blueprint. Outwardly charming,
strategic, and partnership -oriented, Libra Rashi.
Inwardly confident, opinionated, and sometimes
arrogant, Sagittarius Navamsa. This Pada brings
intelligence and drive, but also overconfidence
and misplaced passion. Natives may assume they
know what's best in every situation, getting
entangled in multiple relationships or risky
ventures under the guise of freedom. Commission
-based deals or unethical financial gains are
possible if moral clarity is lost. inner -outer
karma blueprint, externally diplomatic and graceful,
Libra Rashi, inwardly repetitive, emotionally
rigid, duty averse, Capricorn Navamsa. This is
the pata of habit entrapment. Natives may fall
into emotional loops or repeat patterns in love,
career, or addiction. Capricorn's inertia can
dull Libra's agility, leading to procrastination,
family neglect, or long -term stagnation. There's
often resistance to change, especially in home
or community life. karmic theme, inaction disguised
as stability, avoidance of nurturing duties,
growth path, break emotional patterns, practice
responsibility in family and service, swadipada
three, libra 13, grief 20, and 16, Aquarius,
comma, elemental shift, air to air, motivation,
comma, to enjoy, explore, and seek pleasure through
innovation, inner outer karma blueprint, outwardly
likable, trend aware, independent, liberashi,
inwardly detached, futuristic, and pleasure -focused
Aquarius navamsa. These natives are driven by
comfort, luxury, or intellectual curiosity, but
often lack discipline. They avoid hard work and
may resist structure unless deeply inspired.
Karma tests them through crises of others. They
are asked to serve those without resources, Aquarius,
but tend to remain in self -centric bubbles.
Karmic theme, comfort without contribution, spiritual
aloofness. growth path, use abundance to support
the vulnerable, serve as a social stabilizer,
not just a seeker. Swati Pada 4, Libra 6040 -20D,
Pisces, Moksha Pada Elemental Shift, Air to Water,
Motivation, Moksha to Dissolve Pain Through Faith,
but Risks Delusion, Inner Outer Karma Blueprint,
Outwardly Artistic, Poetic, Idealistic, Libra
Rashi, Inwardly Escapist, Overly Trusting, Avoidant,
Pisces nevamsa. This pada avoids problems by
leaning on hope or belief, waiting for miracles
instead of doing the work. Finances may slip,
debts may pile up, and relationships may suffer
due to unrealistic expectations. They may rely
too much on gurus, belief systems, or spiritual
escapism while ignoring practical needs. Karmic
theme. Faith without foundation, passivity as
self -harm. Growth path. Bridge faith with effort.
Miracles follow mindful action, not avoidance.
Swati Pada Summary, Four Winds of Karma and Course
Correction. Pada 1 Sagittarius seeks direction,
purpose, admiration, trap, arrogance, misuse
of knowledge, growth, be wise, not just informed,
act ethically. Pada 2, emotional and social security,
trap, repetition, avoidance of duty. Take responsibility,
especially for family and legacy. Pada three,
Aquarius, seeks innovation, intellectual comfort.
Trap, detachment from suffering, work aversion.
Growth, contribute meaningfully, help those in
real need. Pada four, Pisces, relief through

faith, merge devotion with effort. Closing thought,
in Swati, freedom is earned through responsibility.
Swati whispers of movement. change, and choice.
But unless its winds are directed with purpose,
they scatter rather than elevate. The karmic
invitation here is simple. Can you move with
meaning? Can you trust and still act? Can your
independence become an instrument of service?

of Desire and Dedication, Where Commitment Must
Conquer Temptation. Swati Nakshatrapada with
Examples of Planets. Exploring how planetary
placement shapes karma, expression, and evolution
across the four patas. Swati Pada 1, Sagittarius
Navamsa. Libra 6, degree 40, to Tendi. Outer
Self, Rashi diplomatic, socially aware, peace
-seeking. Inner Self, Navamsa. Proud, dogmatic,
philosophical, but restless, Sagittarius. Motivation,
Dharma, to act from conviction, but susceptible
to egoic knowledge. Jupiter in Pada 1. Outwardly
generous and wise, inwardly self -righteous or
inflexible, may offer spiritual or financial
guidance but with a tone of superiority. Result
can be a teacher or guide, but must avoid using
wisdom to judge or control. Karma refines through
humility and ethical truth. Venus in Padawan,
socially admired, romantic and cultured, inwardly
chases validation through ideas or moral superiority.
Result succeeds in law, education, or the arts.
Karmic risk comes when values are preached but
not practiced. Mars and Pada I, assertive in
ideology or partnerships, may become dominant
in relationships or exploit rules for personal
gain. Result could rise as a bold influencer
or reformer, but karma unfolds if passion overrides
compassion. Swati Pada II, Capricorn Navamsa,
Libra 10° or 13°20, Outer Self, Graceful, charming,
relationship -focused, Libra. Inner self, reserved,
disciplined, emotionally blocked, Capricorn.

restrained inside. May delay or avoid family
responsibilities due to over -focus on career.
Result, can become a strong community figure.
Karma arises from emotional detachment or neglect
at home. Moon in Pada 2, sensitive and emotionally
bound to routines or old emotional patterns,
tends to repeat mistakes in love or finance.
Result, must learn to release emotional habits
and act when duty calls. Karma resolves through
conscious change and maturity. Mercury in Pada
2, practical thinker, excellent at structured
dialogue or policy work, inwardly skeptical or
hesitant. Result, excels in law, strategy, or
logistics, but karma unfolds if logic blocks
emotional expression or care. Swadipada III,
Aquarius Navamsa, Libra 13 -20 -2016 -40. Outer
Self, aesthetic, interactive, intelligent, Libra.
Inner Self, innovative, detached, humanitarian,
Aquarius. Motivation, comma, to connect through
intellect, trends, and future -minded ideals.
Examples. Rahu in Pada 3, highly ambitious, trend
-driven, and image -conscious, may use innovation
to manipulate or bypass effort. Result, can gain
status quickly, but may suffer karmic collapse
if values are compromised for short -term gains.
Sun in Pada 3, naturally likable and authoritative
in social circles, but may neglect inner emotional
needs or those of dependence. Result can rise
in public life or commerce. Karma is tested through
the balance of power and service. Venus in Pada
3, strong attraction to wealth, beauty, and novelty,
may avoid hardship or discomfort even when others
are suffering. Result can flourish in arts, media,
or luxury brands, but must give back to society,
not just consume its attention. Swati Pada 4,
Pisces Navamsa, Libra 16 -40 to 20 -30, Outer
Self. Elegant, fair, emotionally appealing Libra.

privilege and serve those in need. Potiphar,
Pisces, seeks peace through surrender or devotion.
Trap, magical thinking, avoidance of real -world
action. Growth, balance faith with follow -through
and practical accountability. Conclusion. In
Swati, the winds must learn to flow, not flee.
Swati's gift is movement of thought, wealth,
and experience, but uncontrolled motion becomes
dissipation. The planets here test whether your
independence leads to wisdom or just escape.
Let your freedom build others. Let your breath
carry purpose. Let the wind of Swati carry seeds
of karma, not storms of avoidance.
