Reading Swati
Swati — presided by Vayu, symbol "Coral / Sprout", ruled by Rahu. The temperament is a deva (divine) temperament — refined, benevolent and principled with a Kapha (earthy) constitution — steady, patient and nurturing, and a enduring and hard-working instinct (Buffalo yoni). The Rahu lordship lends ambition, obsession, foreign matters, innovation and worldly desire. Energies here favour movement (travel, change, vehicles).
