Venus in Revati Nakshatra (Shukra 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 Venus in Revati stands in Mercury’s star.

Venus and Mercury count each other a friend, so in Revati the graha and the lord of its star agree about each other. The other two nakshatras Mercury rules, Ashlesha and Jyeshtha, put Venus under the same star lord.

Venus in Revati, Pada by Pada

By rashi, Venus is exalted 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. Venus’s strongest navamsa in Revati is pada 4 (Pisces, exalted), and its weakest is pada 1 (Sagittarius, in a neutral sign).

Revati pada 4 is vargottama — Pisces in rashi and in navamsa — so Venus there is exalted 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 Venus placed in that quarter of Revati sits on the junction itself.

Venus’s deepest exaltation, 27° Pisces in the classical table, falls inside Revati, in pada 4 (Pisces 26°40′ – 30°00′, the Pisces navamsa).

Inside Revati: what the tables locate there for Venus

Revati as the Setting for Venus

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 Venus is everything above: the dignities in Pisces, the relation to Mercury, and the dates. None of it is a prediction for anyone born with Venus in Revati; the house it occupies and the dasha running decide what the placement does in a chart.
