Mars in Revati Nakshatra (Mangal in रेवती)

Revati, the 27th of the 27 nakshatras, covers 346°40′ – 360°00′ of the sidereal zodiac, wholly inside Pisces. Revati is ruled by Mercury, so Mars in Revati stands in Mercury’s star.

Mars counts Mercury an enemy, while Mercury counts Mars neutral. The table is not symmetric, so Mars in Revati has to be described from both sides, as it is here. The other two nakshatras Mercury rules, Ashlesha and Jyeshtha, put Mars under the same star lord.

Mars in Revati, Pada by Pada

By rashi, Mars is in a friend's sign in all four padas of Revati, because the whole nakshatra lies in Pisces. By navamsa the four padas fall in Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Mars’s strongest navamsa in Revati is pada 2 (Capricorn, exalted), and its weakest is pada 3 (Aquarius, in a neutral sign).

Revati pada 4 is vargottama — Pisces in rashi and in navamsa — so Mars there is in a friend's sign on both counts. Of the 108 padas only twelve are vargottama, one for each sign.

Revati pada 4 (Pisces 26°40′ – 30°00′) is gandanta: one of the six padas on the junction of a water sign and the fire sign after it, and Mars placed in that quarter of Revati sits on the junction itself.

Neither Mars’s deepest exaltation (Capricorn) nor its deepest debilitation (Cancer) degree falls inside Revati, and Mars’s moolatrikona lies outside it as well, so in Revati the rashi and navamsa verdicts above are the whole of Mars’s dignity.

When Mars Is in Revati, 2026–2028

• 24 April 2026: Mars enters Revati, and leaves on 11 May 2026 — 17 days.
• 3 April 2028: Mars enters Revati, and leaves on 20 April 2028 — 17 days.

Those are the two spells Mars spends in Revati between 1 January 2026 and 1 January 2029, 34 days in all. Over the same span Mars stands in every one of the 27 nakshatras. The dates are days only; for Mars in Revati a minute would be more precise than the ayanamsa behind it.

Inside Revati: what the tables locate there for Mars

Of the 49 complete spells Mars has in the table, in any nakshatra, the shortest is 16 days and the longest 47; the Revati spells, at 17 and 17 days, sit inside that range.

• 8 April 2028: Mars meets Mercury at 20° Pisces, in Revati pada 2.

Revati as the Setting for Mars

In the nakshatra tables Revati’s deity is listed as Pushan and its symbol as fish; its gana is Deva, and the muhurta texts put it in the Mridu class (tender). Those belong to Revati whichever graha is in it, and they are read on the Revati page. What changes with Mars is everything above: the dignities in Pisces, the relation to Mercury, and the dates. None of it is a prediction for anyone born with Mars in Revati; the house it occupies and the dasha running decide what the placement does in a chart.
