Swati

Rahu · Vayu, the wind god

Swati means 'the independent one', symbolised by a fragile young sprout bending in the wind - flexible enough to survive, but only by moving with forces beyond its control. Ruled by Rahu and governed by Vayu, god of wind and breath, Swati sits within diplomatic Libra yet carries an unmistakable streak of independence. Swati natives value freedom highly - in thought, movement and lifestyle - and often thrive in trade, travel or any role that rewards adaptability.
