Swati is the fifteenth nakshatra among the 27 Nakshatras studied in vedic astrology. Swati is ruled by Rahu and the presiding deity is Vayu. All the four padas are located in Libra and the gana(trait) is Devta. Though Libra Sign is the sign of balance, Rahu sometimes creates imbalance and unrest in the lives of Swati natives. Unless Saturn is involved the inner feelings and outer behavior of Swati natives tends to be poles apart. Having said that great celebrities including Amitabh Bachchan, M. K Gandhi, Jimmy Carter among others are born in this nakshatra. In short this is the nakshatra of celebrities especially if both Moon and Ascendant are in Swati Nakshatra.
