Revati
Mercury · Pushan, the nourishing protector of travellers and livestock
Revati is the twenty-seventh and final nakshatra, closing the zodiac at the very end of Pisces before it begins again at Ashwini and Aries. Ruled by Mercury and governed by Pushan, the nourishing god who guides travellers safely to their destination, Revati carries themes of completion, protection and gentle guidance for others on their journey. Revati natives are often deeply compassionate, nurturing souls who find real purpose in guiding, feeding or safeguarding those who are still finding their way.
