Moon in Revati (janma nakshatra)
A Moon in Revati is soft-hearted and sheltering — it cannot watch someone be lost without helping, and it finishes what others abandon.
In Vedic astrology the Moon's nakshatra matters more than the familiar Sun sign: it colors the emotional instincts and — through its ruler, Mercury — sets where your Vimshottari dasha sequence begins.
