Please refer to the introductory article here – https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/AscendantNakshatraandLifePattern to understand the theme and purpose of this series.


So, now we will try to understand that what will happen if Swati Nakshatra is someone’s Ascendant Nakshatra and how it is going to impact the life pattern of person.


So, let’s cover this article under the following points –


Ascendant Nakshatra – There is something called the Ascendant Nakshatra. It is based on the degree of Ascendant (please find introduction of all the Nakshatras here - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/intronaksh)


If Ascendant shows the life path then Ascendant Nakshatra will show the pattern of life. It shows the activities we follow throughout life as pattern.


Swati - Swati is nakshatra of independence, Justice, Fair-Play and Business People. For more information on Swati Nakshatra, please check this link - https://www.astrosaxena.com/swanaksh .


Effect of Swati Nakshatra as Ascendant Nakshatra – Swati is nakshatra mainly related to independence. It is also nakshatra of balance, justice and fair play etc. It also represents independent business people. So, these traits can become someone’s life pattern if person have Swati as ascendant nakshatra.


Ascendant Nakshatra Lord’s Position – Now, as ascendant shows our life path and ascendant lord’s position in chart shows the direction of life path; likewise, ascendant nakshatra shows our life pattern and position of ascendant nakshatra lord in chart shows that in which area of life, the life pattern will be exhibited.


Like, we have discussed all above traits and characteristics of Swati Nakshatra which (any of them) can become Life Pattern for someone if it is person’s ascendant nakshatra. Now, in whichever House/Sign Swati lord Rahu is placed in a Libra Ascendant's chart, person may get Swati’s and Rahu’s results as life pattern. Additionally, person’s life pattern involving aforementioned activities can be exhibited from the house/sign wherever Rahu is placed in chart.


Here, going through Rahu’s position in each house/sign can be repetitive or monotonous. So, for understanding the end result, we can rely on the Concept of Who, How, What & Where - https://www.astrosaxena.com/articles/whww.


“Where” is the House where event is happening.


“What” is the Sign which is indicating towards event.


“Who” is the Planet who is bringing the event; and


“How” is the quality of event which depends on nature and dignity of planet.


For example, Rahu in 3rd house/Sagittarius for a Libra ascendant chart would show that Native can be very independent in his actions and efforts. It shows a person working in Law or any other knowledge oriented field as teacher, guide or counselor. This person can be very independent with his views, ideas and belief system. This person should ideally be working independently.


Whereas Rahu in 6th house/Pisces for Libra ascendant chart shows that this person’s life pattern can be working independently at daily work life. They can be very free and independent in their spiritual views. They can be more seekers rather than believers. They can work in legal field and try to bring fair play, justice and balance etc. in people’s lives. This can also be a position where a person can be an activist and fights for the rights of under-privileged people.


Final example, Rahu in 12th house/Virgo shows that person can be relocating to foreign lands and can be working in analysis and detail oriented work. They can be equally independent and perfectionist in matters of spirituality. They can have a very vivid imagination. They can also work as a Healer or a Doctor but they can do it in a very unique or independent way like through alternate/unconventional ways of health care.


Like this, we can understand about how and where the ascendant nakshatra lord is exhibiting the results of life pattern. In further articles of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern, I will cover other house/sign positions which would help us in learning interpretation of Ascendant Nakshatra and Life Pattern in a more holistic way.



Dignity – As always, Dignity of Planet has the highest say but with Rahu, we need to see the dignity of its sign lord where Rahu is placed. That will decide the dignity or results of Rahu.


Conclusion – As I understand, this is how we can understand as to how ascendant nakshatra can setup the life pattern for people with Swati Nakshatra as the Ascendant Nakshatra.


Hope this helps. Thanks,
