Revati is the twenty-seventh and final nakshatra, from 346 degrees 40 minutes to 360 degrees of the sidereal zodiac, closing out Pisces and the circle. Its Vimshottari ruler is Mercury, its presiding deity is Pushan, the nourisher and protector of travellers and herds, and its symbol is a fish or a drum. The name means the wealthy or the prosperous. Jyotisha reads Revati through safe passage, nourishment, and the completion of a journey, Pushan guiding souls and flocks home, the fish swimming in the cosmic waters at the zodiac's end, and classes it as Deva gana. As the last mansion it carries a theme of endings that shelter and see things through. These are traditional readings laid over the Pisces stars that Indian astronomy counts at the close of the circle.
Revati's padas fall in Aries, Taurus, Gemini and Cancer, the final four padas of the whole twenty-seven-fold sequence before the circle restarts at Ashwini. Pushan is one of the Adityas, a pastoral and guiding god invoked in the Rigveda as protector of roads, herds and travellers and as the guide of the dead to the next world, an office that gives Revati's closing position in the sequence a natural thematic fit as the mansion of safe conclusion and transition. Some classical sources also identify Revati's star with a point close to zero degrees Aries rather than the end of Pisces, reflecting an older ayanamsha, a different fixing of the sidereal zodiac's starting point, a technical disagreement among astronomers over exactly where the fixed zodiac should be anchored that is separate from, though related to, the tropical-sidereal distinction discussed elsewhere in this atlas.
